Madeleine Eastoe teaching adult dancers

Madeleine Eastoe, former principal artist with The Australian Ballet, has now joined its Studios Adult Ballet Classes in a teaching capacity. As of May 22, Eastoe is leading level 3 classes.

The Australian Ballet’s Studios program was launched in March and offers adult ballet, Broadway, contemporary, yoga and Pilates classes at The Primrose Potter Ballet Centre in Southbank, VIC.

Adults are invited to slip on ballet shoes and come take class in the Melbourne studios accompanied by live piano music. All of these adult ballet classes are taught by former dancers of The Australian Ballet and will have students performing the perfect pirouette in no time.

General classes focus on strength, correct body alignment, flexibility, rhythm and grace. Repertoire classes give participants the chance to learn the steps from some of the world’s most famous ballets – think Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. The program also offers yoga, Pilates and Broadway classes, all of which are taught by industry experts.

With no terms or lock-in contracts and over 700 classes on offer per year, there are many opportunities to learn and get fit at The Australian Ballet Studios.

Classes cost $15 – $28 and can be booked online at australianballet.com.au/studios.
