Dance Art Education

I don’t train dancers to blend in, I train them to stand alone.

My ballet-based approach is tailored to your body, your rhythm and your pace. Whether you’re new or experienced, I help you grow with clarity, precision and integrity.

Here, you don’t just learn steps. You reclaim the right to dance as yourself. 

Miss Mimi is an exceptional ballet teacher. In just two lessons, I was able to complete the full choreography for my solo, the fastest I’ve ever progressed. What stands out most is her attention to detail. She clearly explains how to use each muscle, maintain balance, and refine technique, and she demonstrates everything herself with precision and grace. She also thoughtfully chose the Columbine Variation to help strengthen my turning technique, targeting exactly what I needed to improve. I feel truly supported and inspired under her guidance. She is a generous and devoted teacher who shares all her knowledge wholeheartedly.

Being an adult in my early 20s, I was unsure where to begin when it came to ballet dancing. I had tried other adult dance studios around Adelaide until I came across Mimi and the team at UniSA Ballet Club. Mimi was not only warm in her welcoming nature but also spent time explaining and demonstrating the art of ballet to a complete newbie who had never seen a ballet recital before, paving the way for this "newbie" to gain the confidence and skills to perform for companies all over Australia. I can't thank Mimi enough for her guidance support and reassurance that it doesn't matter what age you begin ballet everyone can become a confident active and strong ballerino I can't talk highly enough of Mimi's teaching techniques especially for an older student and the confidence she gave me has gone a long way to assisting me in gaining new promotions at work and trying new activities such as Acro. Thank you, Mimi.

Mimi’s knowledge and enthusiasm in ballet is something special! As a person who have no experience in ballet I manage to digest the information in a short amount of time. I can’t wait to do more lessons with her!

Mimi is a wonderful teacher, a great mix of fun and strict to ensure that we all get our technique and musicality spot on and have heaps of fun doing so!

I had Mimi as a cover ballet teacher when my regular teacher was unwell, and she was absolutely amazing! Mimi is kind, encouraging, and incredibly supportive. She gives clear, constructive feedback that really helps you improve. Her extensive ballet knowledge shines through in her teaching, and it’s evident she has a deep passion and love for the art form.

Mimi’s classes are tough, but in the best possible way. She pushes you beyond what you thought you could do, and somehow makes it fun at the same time. Every lesson leaves me buzzing with excitement and a real sense of achievement. I’ve grown so much, both as a dancer and as a person.

- Izzy 

I had a background in jazz dance but always felt my technique wasn’t quite strong enough, especially for musical theatre auditions that required ballet. Mimi’s classes gave me the foundation I was missing. She broke down everything with such clarity and precision, and pushed me to refine my lines, posture and musicality. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident going into my audition and I got the role! I’m so grateful for the support and incredible teaching.

- Steph 

I mainly trained in contemporary dance, and working with Mimi completely changed how I move. Her ballet classes gave me the technical foundation I didn’t even know I needed and my contemporary dancing has become so much stronger and more precise. What I love most is that Mimi’s contemporary choreography is both challenging and fun, every piece feels amazing to dance. I always leave her classes feeling inspired, energised, and ready to keep improving.

- Sarah 

Mimi’s classes have become a special time for me and my daughter. We both learn so much, and I love how she adapts to our different levels while keeping it fun and challenging for both of us.

Since my daughter started learning with Mimi, I’ve seen incredible progress. Not only has her technique improved dramatically, but she’s also developed more confidence and passion for dance. Thanks to Mimi’s dedicated guidance, she recently earned a scholarship we never thought possible. I’m so grateful for the care and expertise Mimi brings to every lesson.
