"I’ve been coming to Ballet Contours for about two years now, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. From day one, everyone was so welcoming, no matter what level of experience you have with ballet. The teachers (Heather, Helen, and Eva) are incredibly supportive and encouraging. They always make classes fun while still helping you improve. The studio has such a friendly atmosphere and community so it’s easy to make friends and enjoy dancing together at the same time. It’s become a really special part of my week and I honestly look forward to every class"

“From my first class at BC I was welcomed like I’d been going for years; Heather has curated such a safe and friendly space for anyone to feel comfortable attending. I danced all through my childhood and returned to it later on with BC, the barre workouts were the perfect fit for both my memory and muscles to gain back my confidence before moving onto all the other wonderful classes! I couldn’t recommend a better studio in Manchester for anyone looking for ballet classes, as well as a community to enjoy them with!”

"I’ve been dancing with Ballet Contours for just over two years now, and it’s been such a rewarding experience. Heather is an incredible teacher - supportive, knowledgeable, makes everyone feel welcome , no matter their background or level. The classes are a great mix of challenge and enjoyment. Ballet Contours is a friendly and encouraging place for anyone looking to explore ballet as a new hobby or interest. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and inspiring place to dance. "

"The atmosphere of Heather’s classes in the BContours studio are supportive and relaxed, but attentive. You feel that you are part of a valued group and that is largely due to the attitude of Heather, who gives the opportunity to go beyond our perceived limitations in a safe environment. Sometimes we're pushed hard, sometimes less so - but at all times one feels that Heather really wants you to be able to do this. After feeling nervous about returning to dance after a long absence, these classes have allowed me to reconnect with dance. Helping all aspects of my wellbeing, keeping me grounded and in the flow of life. I would highly recommend this for anyone. Thank you, Heather."

“Although being apprehensive at first, I must say the session was excellent and did wonders for my flexibility and agility. Being a sporty person, I could feel a real difference.”
Dominic T
“I find BContours a wonderful escape - whatever is happening in my active life (who isn’t busy these days?!) I am completely involved within a few minutes of starting barre and always come out of class feeling refreshed. Ballet-based fitness is not just about getting fitter, stronger and hopefully a bit more flexible, but also about trying to co-ordinate so many things at once. It definitely helps my mind as well as keeping me active."
Suzanne S
"I loved my first session – I felt fantastic afterwards, although I didn’t realise how challenging some of those ‘simple’ looking postures can be. Definitely great for my aging body and even better for my mindset."
Martina C
"I thought it would be nice to try a BContours class, having read that no previous ballet experience was necessary. What intrigued me was the strength required to accomplish the moves and positions of the body, and over the years that I attended, I noticed a visible improvement in core strength, shapely legs, arms and shoulders – that can only be a good thing!"
