Teaching
Some teachers follow a syllabus. Mimi reads the dancer.
Mimi teaches across a broad range of disciplines as a freelance educator in Adelaide. Every class is built around what the dancers in front of her actually need.

Most dance studios follow a fixed syllabus. That syllabus decides what gets taught, when and at what pace. It does not change based on who is in the room.
Mimi does not teach that way. Every class is built around what the dancers in front of her actually need that day. Some days that means drilling the basics. Some days it means pushing further than expected.
The result is progress that is visible. Not in six months. In the lesson itself.
Ballet here is not just about learning steps. It is about learning to focus, to work hard and to perform under pressure. These are skills that stay with a dancer long after they leave the studio.
Classical technique across all levels. Syllabus-independent, focused on genuine technical development.
Floor work, release technique and contemporary movement vocabulary. Open to dancers from any background.
Ballet-based fitness class. Accessible to adults with no prior dance experience.
Strength, flexibility and body awareness training specific to dancers.
Pointe technique for students with sufficient classical foundation. Readiness assessed individually.
Progressing Ballet Technique: proprioceptive training to reinforce the muscle memory needed for classical ballet.
Solo coaching, variation work and performance preparation for students entering competitions or auditions.
Each programme is based at DAE Studio with its own schedule and fee structure.

Miss Mimi is an exceptional ballet teacher. In just two lessons, I was able to complete the full choreography for my solo, the fastest I have ever progressed. What stands out most is her attention to detail. She clearly explains how to use each muscle, maintain balance and refine technique, and she demonstrates everything herself with precision and grace.
Mimi is an accommodating and generous teacher in helping you to learn musicality and techniques. She can be your biggest cheerleader when you need it.
Mimi was not only warm in her welcoming nature but also spent time explaining and demonstrating the art of ballet to a complete newbie. She paved the way for me to gain the confidence and skills to perform for companies all over Australia.
Mimi's full of knowledge and explains corrections in the exact way you need them. I feel a massive improvement every time I dance with her. She creates a pressure-free space and simultaneously pushes her students to their best.
