Best Adult Ballet Classes Berlin Near Me

Crystal Goh: I took classes here for a while. Some teachers were wonderful and others not so good, but I can agree with the sketchy management tactics. As an English speaker unable to speak German I was recommended to sign up for a contract whose terms I wasn’t explained with very restrictive clauses to terminate - and was later made to feel like it was completely my fault and made to keep paying for months. The same management is on this page giving themselves 5 star reviews. It’s a real shame because if it had been a friendly environment at the reception rather than a hostile one, I actually had a good time attending classes there

Irene Bodle: My daughter has been in the ballet class for the last four years. She loves all of the ballet teachers, her class and ballet. I highly recommend the course for anyone who has a 4 - 8 year old child wanting to learn ballet in a fun and professional way.

Sara Kibler: The Berlin Dance Institute creates a place, where everyone, regardless of their dance level, can discover and learn about themselves through dance. I highly recommend the five month intensive program to anyone interested in an intensive dance experience. The teachers are incredible, ready to give fair and helpful corrections and make sure that the group moves forward together. The respect for each other, both among the program members and between students and teachers, creates an ideal learning atmosphere that is motivating and encouraging. From Graham, to ballet, to different styles of contemporary dance and improvisation, everyone can discover their potential, their style, their preferences and wants. A big thank you to Suleika and the entire BDI team for this unique and inspiring experience. <3

Irene Bodle: My daughter (8 years old) joined the acrobatics class 6 months ago. When she started she could just about manage a forward roll. In 6 months she has learnt so much and is now doing backwards, cartwheels and backwards walkovers. She has learned so much and loves her Monday class with Brittany. She is looking forward to taking part in the next show as an acrobat (and ballerina).

Flore: Nice vibe, good classes, plenty of space in the studio. Affordable too, for a drop-in class. Dressing rooms are really ting though...

Ivy Clayton: The teachers are professional, but in my opinion the overall vibe is pretty hostile for adult recreational dace classes. I get it if you train professionally, but even the beginner classes were extremely tense, and given that there are so many studios in berlin that are a lot nicer, making it more fun to dance, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Chevy Nyala: Motion*s is certainly the most divers and most welcoming dance school in Berlin with one of the broadest offers in classes and styles. However, I’m sad that the standard and quality of many courses have dropped quite a bit in the last year or so. Where there were high-profile instructors, often well established masters of their styles, there are now a lot of twenty-somethings teaching classes, who just don’t bring the same level of expertise and teaching quality (especially if you yourself are not a teenager anymore). In the last two years I saw at least 4-5 great instructors leave. Merely the Jazz and Ballet classes have stayed relatively consistent. Unfortunately those have also fallen prey to the “USC-syndrome”, though. Because of providers like Urban Sports Club there is so much rotation and random drop-ins that instructors seem often forced to lower the level and explain everything from the basis, especially in the beginner and intermediate classes, which is super frustrating and hindering for the regular students. I hope this will improve again and the school will shift its focus back on experienced, adept instructors, so all the dancers above 25 feel comfortable too

Nomi Feldsehen: I had a really nice teacher there whose teaching was very logical and informative. I miss going to the classes although I recall that it felt a little bit overwhelming as most of the students were very young girls.

Anja Schrön: I love working with Emma. She knows exactly what level her students are at and always manages to make them surpass themselves step by step. Emma supports me in becoming more confident in the ballet movements and executions I am learning, but she also inspires me and challenges me to move on in development and learn in every class new stuff. She has joined me on the adventure of teaching me pointe shoes - a big challenge for me. Her classes are always professional, but also fun and have a nice personal and open touch. Emma is wondeful and lovely teacher.

Fizah Nahwi: Huge and spacious studios, dedicated and talented coaches, variety of classes. The main reason they don’t get a full 5 star review from me is because of their deteriorating customer service (which used to be quite efficient before summer 2022) Just hope and pray that you don’t encounter any glitches because if you do, then be prepared for endless back and forth emails, unanswered calls to customer service agents and the app that seems to be having a lot of issues lately preventing you from booking its classes. And unauthorized deduction from your bank account.

Suzanne Van Roosbroeck: NIGHTMARE!!! Watch out! This company is an absolute nightmare; mismanagement, zero communication, rudeness and disrespect sum up the TanzZwiet experience. I am not here to write about the quality of the classes. (Fact is that classes are too crowded and the space is too small. What should be fun for kids is mega stressful – for both parents and children. Reason why many parents I know withdrew their kids from TanzZwiet.) I am here to explain why you should never consider this company as the one for your child. My daughter was at TanzZwiet before Corona hit. Classes were not taking place for weeks, yet money was still taken off my account. In November 2020 I had written an email stating that I cancelled my contract. I did this per email, thinking it would be OK and clear. At that time, I had been paying 9 months of no-classes. I received a message that my cancellation would be transferred to the accounting department. Months after the 6-month cancellation period though I realized payments were still taken off my account. I have contacted TanzZwiet numerous times, per email and by phone. I didn’t receive any information or support. Then this year, I received an InKasso letter presenting an invoice for nearly ANOTHER year of membership without classes. Obviously, this InKasso writing came even before a final invoice was ever sent to me by TanzZwiet. Because who doesn’t want to pay and additional EUR 160 on an invoice she already considers not correct? I am stunned by the rudeness and shamelessness of this company. In total, they expect 2 years of payment without any service. Only last month I received a contractual statement that explains you need to cancel per letter or in person. All of a sudden though, a cancellation per email was accepted, only 15 months late?!? Is this how companies can act these days? I feel they have neglected my communication and my wishes so that they could still take the money out of my account, which feels like stealing to me. Until today, when I call they rudely tell me to contact the accounting department per email. When I write the accounting department, no answer comes back. Nothing. NEVER have I experienced anything like it. As a foreigner that does not master the German language, or as a customer in general one might only expect clear communication about the rules. This is an absolute shame and disaster. In conclusion: not just incompetent, also disrespectful, arrogant, and unable to communicate. Does this sound like an environment you want your child to be in?

Kim (kimslife_de): Finally a dance school that meets my requirements and LA level 🤗 I researched forever on Instagram and thanks to Urban Sports I come often! Great professional dance teachers

Lohana: The location is great, the room is spacious and bright. The Fit’ballet lessons are a very good mix between dance positions (cardio) and fitness and you end by stretching your body. I recommend!

Jessica Brandao: I did the Lady HipHop Beginner Class with Kimberly and I have to say she is just the sweetest girl! I really liked the way she structured the class. Hopefully the school will remain open in these uncertain times.
