About Ballet Fusion
Welcome to Ballet Fusion
Where we blend the the grace of ballet, the serenity of yoga and the strength of pilates into a harmonious experience that nourishes both the body and mind.
Oh, and it’s fun too!
Ballet Fusion is an adult ballet training programme developed by Rhea Sheedy. With emphasis on safe, effective movements, exercises are based on traditional ballet principles and techniques to shape, tone & strengthen the entire body.
Ballet Fusion is suitable for all levels - even those who have never tried ballet before.
Hi, I’m Rhea
I have studied ballet since the age of four and as an adult, I always struggled to find classes that were tailored towards fitness and functionality that still held the beautiful movement and freedom of younger or vocational ballet classes. In addition, many traditional ballet exercises and positions are not as safe for adults. I developed Ballet Fusion to provide safe, effective fitness and flexibility training for adults of all ages and levels.Combining barre work, flexibility, strength and centre-work, Ballet Fusion is designed to promote a balanced, stronger body and increased fitness in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. All with the beautiful movements and freedom of expression of classical ballet.
We know that adult exercise classes can be intimidating. For online classes you have the choice to turn your camera on so your instructor can see you or off so that no one can see you. All studio class exercises are carried out in groups. We don’t ask clients to perform any moves solo.
Our teaching style is relaxed and friendly. We encourage attendees to ask questions, chat and laugh. Exercise should be enjoyable - it’s what keeps us coming back!
Why Start Ballet As An Adult?
-
✽
Bone Dentisy
As we age, our bone density naturally declines over time. This is primarily due to a reduction in the levels of oestrogen once we reach the menopause. Ballet fitness provides a diverse range of resistance exercises (without the need for additional weights!) which are proven to help stabilise and even improve bone density.
-
✽
Improved Memory
Ballet is often focused around memorising a combination of repeated movements and then coordinating the body to music. This takes a considerable amount of brain power (sometimes more than we even realise!) - it’s incredibly important to exercise the body AND brain!
-
✽
Joint Friendly
in a ballet class, we move our bodies in many ways at a lower intensity. Unlike a hobby such as HIIT training, we aren’t putting our bodies through repetitive movements and motions over and over and OVER again. This in turn helps to protect the body from injury!
-
✽
Mental health
There have been many studies conducted on the impact of dance and mental health and several studies have shown that dance improves mood and helps to reduce stress levels! There is something quite magical and reassuring about letting your body move freely to beautiful classical music – give it a try.

✽
Social Life
Those who dance together, stay together! It sounds slightly cliché, but some of the best friendships are those created within a dance studio. Here at Ballet Fusion, we all support each other and it really is like one big ballet family ❤️

Confidence
Starting to learn any new skill can feel daunting. We will guide you through the technique of exercises and movement, but dance allows the freedom of expression and interpretation – you’re the creator of your own dance journey and you’ll be surprised at how quickly you improve, and how quickly your confidence grows.
