Ballet Peeps NYC West 127th Street, Manhattan, New York 10027

"I started ballet at age 41 and feel so grateful to have Hope as my instructor. We have met virtually for the past 2 years and even I marvel at my own progress. Her attention to detail and tips/tricks have been invaluable. She is supportive and encouraging, motivating me to take my body to another level. I highly recommend working with Hope as she understands the inner workings of the body and movement. She has also taught me to incorporate ballet into my everyday life, even whilst holding a stack of pizzas. Ive had people come up to me asking about my workout regiment as my body has transformed. Forever grateful for instructors like Hope who lead with their passion to help others achieve what was once considered impossible."

"I started ballet at a late age, although it has been a passion and dream since childhood. Hope is helping me realize this dream with her talent, accurate teaching and precise like I have not seen in any other teacher, and most importantly, her passion for sharing ballet with me. Her teaching has been helping me in many ways. I am studying different types of dance, and I already feel the difference when I take classes outside. Mentally, I feel more encouraged and build more self-confidence every day. Her students are encouraged to have discipline and consistency, and if you are willing to follow them, she can take you far in your goal of dancing with grace and confidence. Hope is a true Gem!"

"Hope is the best Ballet teacher I have ever met. I began learning ballet as an adult without formal training in childhood. Other teachers just had me imitate their motions like tendu, dégagé, etc. Hope worked with me on turnout and using rotator muscles, on proper ankle and toe placement, on core strength and engagement. Hope herself is totally immersed in ballet all day and everyday, and as such, she can impart her knowledge to all levels of dancers from young children to trained ballet dancers to older adults."
