Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be fit?

Elancé does not assume a level of fitness prior to commencing classes. You will be placed in an appropriate class and your fitness will gradually increase over time.

What if I don't have a "dancer's body"?

Providing you are in sound health, the body you have is all you need!

What should I wear?

Elancé is relaxed about individual's choice of dancewear. Some students elect to wear aerobics-style workout gear whilst others choose traditional ballet wear. Ballet shoes are required. We do suggest that fitted clothing is more suitable in order that the teacher can better see body line and position. Long hair is required to be secured away from the face. Our experience has been that as students begin to think of themselves as dancers, they prefer the more traditional ballet wear.

What should I bring?

Appropriate clothing (including layers that can be removed as the body temperature increases) water bottle, sweat towel, ballet shoes, focus and enthusiasm!

Will I have to wear pointe shoes?

No, there is no pointe work involved in the training.

Do I have to do exams?

No. All classes at Elancé are 'open' classes.
