Kellie and Carla started dancing at a very young age and met in 1992 at 11 years old when they both won places to train at The Royal Ballet School in London. Their passion for ballet has only grown stronger through the years.
BalletBesque School of Dance (formerly Strictly Ballet) launched in 2016 for Kellie and Carla to encourage people of all ages to experience this extremely beneficial form of dance.
Discipline, balance and coordination, plus the stimulation of the brain and a physical workout are just a few reasons to get into a ballet studio.
Kellie continued ballet training alongside other forms of dance and has completed
and passed her Diploma in Dance Education with the ISTD in May 2021. Kellie continued her professional development with the Teachers Inspire Series course with The Royal Ballet, and has studied Philip Cutts Dance Anatomy course. She continues development with workshops and courses with Dance2Advance.
Carla continued her ballet training and became a professional ballet dancer. Carla has also studied other forms of dance and fitness including Pilates. Carla has studied a Dance Education diploma with the ISTD.
Holly has been dancing since the age of three and went on to train at Performers College. Upon graduating Holly dances professionally on cruise ships, touring shows, pantomimes and branched out into television work. Holly has worked at various stage schools over the years specialising in jazz and commercial styles; She is very excited to be joining the BalletBesque team!
