“I signed up for this course because I wanted to be able to try a ballet class that worked better on my busy schedule. The offerings at dance studios around me did not work for me because I was still taking my daughter to other activities. Being able to finally take a ballet class that thoroughly explained everything was a real treat.
I believe the price point for this course is very well worth it. I know of other dance studios to where you pay more over a longer period of time and you may not necessarily learn as much as what you have put into this course. After taking this course I feel less stressed. I accomplished something just for me. As a Mom I am always trying to balance everything in life and this was a gift to myself. I really enjoyed being able to learn a new skill and move on, but then still being able to go back and easily rewatch the moves to make sure I was doing it properly. I would say that my success in this course is that my natural clumsiness has been mostly contained. I believe that all of the work with posture and balance have significantly helped me. ”

“I was hesitant about taking an online ballet course. I have taken in person classes in the past and loved them. In person classes are not feasible at this time for me, so I needed another option. I did not know if an online course could work, but wanted to give it a shot. I did not want to give up on dance. Well, I am so glad that I signed up to take this ballet course with the amazing Ms. Nicolyn! My schedule is hectic being a teacher and mom of 4, but this has been the best decision. The class/module structure is so well organized and I can learn and practice anytime that fits my busy day. Ms. Nicolyn makes learning ballet so much fun and she is so down to earth. She makes you feel at ease and that you are capable of succeeding. She truly cares for her students! The lessons are so easy to follow and Ms. Nicolyn's step by step guidance made everything click. Anyone can learn ballet by following these lessons taught by her. I love how you can revisit all past lessons and go at your own pace. I especially love the classes at the end that tie everything you have learned together and really makes you feel accomplished. This course not only helps you physically, but emotionally as well. It just makes you feel good about yourself. Ms. Nicolyn opens up to the user about how she struggled in the past, which really helps you connect with her. I love the theme of rising from the ashes and fire throughout the course. Like I said, you just feel good after completing this course. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn ballet or even to someone who knows some ballet, but wants a refresher course. I will continue with this course for a very long time!”

“Archway to Ballet surprised me in so many ways! I have no dance experience, I am not very coordinated, and I am not that interested in dance or ballet. But this course is so much more than just ballet. Yes, you learn the foundational ballet steps in this course, but you also gain a new and creative way to workout. Except this course is not your average, mundane, repetitive workout. This course engages your body and mind in a new way that will keep you coming back for more. And as an added bonus the course includes motivational and inspirational quotes that will set you on a positive path for your day. Another surprising element of this course was attention to posture and therefore improved posture which was wonderful for me because I have chronic back pain.”

“Taking this course has been an incredible experience, truly addressing the pain points I struggled with in wanting to learn ballet and move my body in different ways but not have a place near me. The price point, considering the quality of content and unique approach, is more than reasonable. It’s worth every penny because it dives deeper than surface-level fixes, equipping me with skills and knowledge that feel sustainable. Which is exciting! I felt a mix of hope and accomplishment after completing it. I have more confidence, feel emotionally lighter, and can see tangible improvement in my mindset and movement. The course stands out due to its unique structure, allowing me to pace myself and truly absorb each module rather than rushing through it. This program is genuinely transformative. I’d highly recommend it to friends who are looking for a real solution—those who are tired of quick fixes and want long-term change. This course isn’t just about learning; it’s about growing, and I feel like a better version of myself because of it.”

“I had always wanted to learn ballet, and Archway to Ballet was exactly the course I needed to get started. Nicolyn is an amazing teacher—her explanations are clear, her guidance is gentle, and each lesson is thoughtfully crafted with music that inspires you to dance. The course was not only educational but also incredibly fun, thanks to the engaging homework assignments. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning ballet, regardless of their previous experience. It’s an inviting, motivating, and beautifully designed program that I believe is worth every penny.
Thank you for this beautiful course!!!”

“I am so grateful for this wonderful at-home ballet program and the timing was spot on for me.
Dance and ballet have been my passion since I was little. I grew up in a dance studio, have danced and performed most of my life. I was blessed to perform most of my life and lived my dream career as a full time Dance Instructor and Choreographer. When I was told by multiple surgeons and specialists that I would never dance, take classes, teach classes or perform again I was truly devastated and depressed. I didn’t know life without dance.
Archway to Ballet has not only re-ignited my flame and passion for ballet and dance but has given me hope. Hope that I can and will dance again!
The honesty and vulnerability that Ms. Nicolyn shares was relatable, made me not feel so alone in my situation and that Archway to Ballet is a great solution to get back to ballet classes from home, at my pace, in my time. I love how easy the program is to use and that you can stop and start anytime, and the program remembers right where you left off.
The biggest transformation for me while taking this course was regaining hope that, while I won’t dance like I used to (ballets on pointe), I can and will dance again. No matter what level or step, my heart knew that I was dancing again, and I could feel inner healing starting.
The most surprising thing I learned about myself was that when it got challenging for me and I didn’t think I’d be able to complete it, I was reminded how resilient and strong I am when I don’t give up. I was also reminded of how freeing it can be when I am vulnerable and share my weaknesses and my story. There was a point that I reached out to Ms. Nicolyn in my doubts, and she was so encouraging and supportive. I needed that. I needed this program. I have since re-connected with a part of myself that has been dormant for a long time. This course has helped me physically and mentally.
The most surprising thing I learned about ballet was that it does not matter whether you are a beginner taking your very first class or a seasoned dancer starting back to the basics, there is always so much to learn and room to grow.
After growing up in dance studios, I was pleased to feel that I can get just as much out of an online course from home as in the studio and it felt like the teacher was right there with me.
Archway to Ballet has helped to re-ignite my ballet and dance flame to add them back into my future goals. I have some health and physical limitations and one of my goals is to eventually be able to do everything in this course. And…hopefully there will be additional Archway to Ballet courses of different levels to add to my future goals.
My inner Ballerina is very grateful for this course and opportunity, and she is geeking out with happiness! Thank you Ms Nicolyn!”
