Ballet Lounge

I have injuries that have been very, *very* difficult and discouraging. Hiking, running, and most forms of exercise aggravate me. Chronic pain has worn me down over the years.I used to dance when I was younger, and recently, a friend told me about Ballet Lounge.I took two private classes with Suzy (and Gizmo!) because the pressure of a group class isn't something I can handle right now.Not only is it a wonderfully happy place with light-up bars, you get some animal therapy with her sweetest little yorkie.Ballet is a magical art form that allows you to connect with your body. The mind-body connection is more intense than other forms of exercise, as you need to become present even with the tiniest muscles.Not only do you work up a sweat, but the self-expression that dance provides is emotionally healing.Suzy is very generous with her time. She makes sure that my body is okay. Her encouragement is a refreshing treat in the ballet world. I am used to teachers barking orders and/or shaming my errors from when I was a kid and teen. This is why I didn't return to ballet for so long.Ballet Lounge is a most welcomed and *needed* change in the dance world. Honestly, it's the most uplifted I've felt in three years.Thank you, Ballet Lounge! :)

I just started dancing here and it's been so great! The teachers offer lots of corrections and encouragements. I'm so glad that we have a local ballet studio specialized for adults who want to learn proper techniques. The prima membership is a great deal for their unlimited dance and conditioning classes.

I really like going to the Ballet Lounge for the friendly environment. Everyone, is really encouraging with each other. The teachers are really great with giving specific corrections to help you improve. The Ballet Lounge has been offering online classes which has really helped with having to stay inside. Suzy has been able to modify the class for people that don't have much space at home, while still getting us to sweat! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to exercise and improve their ballet technique! :D

Been going to this studio for years because I absolutely love the welcoming, positive and supportive environment they've built here! They welcome people from all walks of life and break stereotypes of what ballet is supposed" to look like. The entire time is very kind and professional and the workouts incorporate a lot of coordination

I love taking classes at The Ballet Lounge! I have been coming since the very beginning and recommend the BL to everyone. It's inclusive, body positive and has the most wonderful instructors. I can't say enough positive things about The Ballet Lounge.

Professional and fun instructors who offer a variety of styles for dancers of all levels. They also offer fun conditioning and HIIT classes that I love and I'm not even a workout" person. Personally I appreciate how the studio is always clean and the instructors put your safety first!"

I’ve been dancing at Ballet Lounge for almost five years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and most of all, making every class enjoyable and fun. They offer a variety of dance/fitness classes at different levels. The inclusive environment welcomes everyone, and the warmth of the BL community is contagious. I genuinely feel empowered not only physically but also mentally over the years by dancing with and meeting all those fantastic people at Ballet Lounge.

A really nice, relaxed, welcoming ballet studio for adult amateurs. I personally only take the traditional ballet classes, but there are also some classes that are more like pilates/yoga/general fitness classes, as well as ones that combine ballet technique with a general fitness style class. There's a really nice community, and the Lounge has a great small business feel. Recommend it to anyone who wants a more relaxed ballet experience -- the classes aren't strict or overwhelmingly technical for a beginner like most ballet schools, but the instructors know enough to help you improve.

Suzy is the BEST fitness instructor! I was fortunate to have private training sessions with her in Calgary and I was in the BEST shape of my life. When she moved to Vancouver to fulfill her dream of opening Ballet Lounge, I was never able to find a trainer or studio that matched (or even come close to) the experience Suzy offers. I was over the moon when Ballet Lounge started offering virtual classes so I don't have to miss out any longer! I am so amazed with how connected, motivated and great I feel...from the comfort of my home! Highly recommend and cannot wait to try more virtual classes with the rest of the BL team!
