Emma’s Experience
Emma has been attending ballet classes at Rambert for two years. She shares:
“I’ve made new friends, and we have a lot of fun—it’s a safe space to try things and make mistakes. It’s such a thrill when classmates and teachers acknowledge even the smallest improvements. I’ll never be a great dancer, but going to ballet is a highlight of my week.”
Catherine’s Journey to Confidence
Rambert’s Pilates classes also offer opportunities for recovery and strengthening. Catherine, a beginner with back pain, was nervous to start but found reassurance in her teacher’s expertise.
“The teacher’s professionalism, gentle touch, and elegant teaching style helped me gain confidence. I’m so glad I joined.”
Dance for All Abilities
Inclusivity is at the heart of Rambert’s mission. On Saturdays, we offer a contemporary class specifically for people with sight loss or visual impairments. Long-time participant Max says:
“I appreciate the opportunity given to visually impaired people. Our teacher Hanna is brilliant—using descriptive language like ‘window wash’ and ‘beach ball’ to explain movements. If words aren’t enough, she gently corrects us with touch. The staff are always encouraging, no matter how many mistakes we make.”
Kat’s Unexpected Joy
Kat, who joined our Absolute Beginners Contemporary class, reflects on how her initial nerves quickly disappeared:
“Dance classes I’d attended before felt stressful. At Rambert, it’s completely different. Jonathan’s class is accessible, supportive, and fun. He starts with warm-ups and simple cues, allowing us to connect to our movement patterns. Then we learn the steps—it’s brilliant.”
Encouraged by her experience, Kat also tried Izzi’s Monday night Ballroom Beginners class.
“You couldn’t get a lovelier teacher than Izzi. With her joyful positivity, we learnt Cha Cha and Tango routines and even tried partner work. Walking out onto the South Bank with all those endorphins flowing was amazing.”
Your Space to Move
At Rambert, we believe dance is for everyone. Our classes are designed to ensure every participant feels included, empowered, and inspired—no matter their experience or ability.
