Super fun, super sweet and easy going person. As we just moved to Cornwall and my daughter was very shy, also couldn't speak English, Hillary was the one, who found her way to communicate with my 3 years old daughter and have made the lessons fun, useful and easy to get my daughter along with other children. Highly grateful for her support and will definitely recommend her and her classes! <3
Wanted to try something new to improve my flexibility. Since the very first lesson, it has been great. Fun, interesting and welcome to beginners, I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.
I am 51, unfit and over weight, i never thought i would find myself doing ballet for exercise! Hillary has been fantastic and very patient with me. It is so much fun for any age.

Super fun and super lovely person running the class, great way to keep fit and get back into dancing.
Amazing teacher for all ages!! My 5 year old has come on leaps and bounds!! X
Great class, lovely teacher! Great at explaining the different techniques and how to improve!
Great little ballet class. Evelyn absolutely loves attending, it's the highlight of her week! Hillary is lovely too 😊
Brilliant teacher, well structured but fun lessons for my 3 year old. Would highly recommend Hillary!
My daughter is incredibly shy with new people, but loves dancing and always asks to go “ballet shoe dancing.” Our first experience really didn’t go well, but Hilary’s friendliness over messenger made me try once more. Within 10 minutes my daughter was in her element and absolutely loved the class, has asked to go again nearly everyday this week. Hilary is really gentle in her approach with the children and interacts wonderfully. Her class set up with little burst of activity then a stamp was really lovely also. I would definitely recommend🌟
