Hello, I don’t have any adult PBT classes I’m afraid, sorry. If you go to the PBT Website and search for teachers in your area there may be someone offering adult classes. I hope you find someone. Ellie

Hello, Zoom training - weekly and private This isn’t strictly what you've asked for, but I offer a weekly group class and private tuition online for PBT (Progressing Ballet Technique), this proven conditioning programme used by students and professionals around the world works extremely well online as it doesn’t require as much space as a full ballet class and is much safer as can easily be done on any floor surface. I am a highly qualified teacher who comes with personal recommendation from Marie Walton-Mahon - Founder and creator of PBT, I guarantee you it will improve your child's classical technique and strength much better than a regular ballet class on zoom. Over lock-down I took on many vocational students from the UK’s top ballet schools, all were complimented on their improved strength on return which was very unusual at that time, my students therefore were in a much better place physically to return to training and none of them got injured as a result - this again was very unusual as most students were out of condition and therefore picked up injuries very quickly. My classes are very reasonable and are kept small in my group classes on zoom to allow me to focus on individual students. An in person private as a starting point is always preferable (my studio is in Gloucester) however this is not essential and could be done on zoom.
