Meet Miss Leané

"Miss Leane is one of the most engaging teachers my two daughters have had. While ensuring the right amount of discipline to optimise participation and engagement within the class, she has also been great at incorporating the fun elements. Her commitment in teaching the children was particularly shown through her dedication towards online lessons and continuity of learning during the pandemic. Our girls adore her for not only being a great dancer herself, but the way she encourages the children and brings out their potential and confidence, regardless of their abilities. Miss Leane is truly an asset to the dancing community in Brisbane and I would certainly recommend her".

"Our daughter has been learning ballet with Miss Leane for the last 3 years.

She loves her weekly lessons, and we can see that her dance skills have improved over that time.

While the lessons focus on classical ballet technique, they are fun and creative, with no pressure.

Leane is a lovely teacher. Highly recommended".

"My 3 little ballerinas have been dancing with the lovely Miss Leané for 4 years.  She really cares for her students and they can’t wait for their classes. They love choosing dancewear and I’ve have seen  considerable progress in my girls dancing and love for dance with Miss Leanés skill and patience. Highly recommend Miss Leané’s Little Leapers for a beautiful start to dance life". 

- Kim Vaughan

"I Love and Admire Miss Leané's inspiring and nurturing teaching manner.  The way she has been able to help my daughter come out of her shell and gain confidence, has really made my heart burst with appreciation.  We look forward to another year of dancing with Miss Leané".

- Paula Maree

"Miss Leané has been teaching ballet to our daughters for the past 5 years. Her teaching style is the perfect blend of devotion to her art, a genuine affection for her students and an enthusiastic but disciplined approach to teaching both dance skills and theory.  Our daughters love ballet and we know that it is Miss Leané’s teaching that has fostered this love and keeps them coming back year after year.

We highly recommend Miss Leane to anyone who wants to see their children develop not only dance skills, but also confidence and a passion for dance that I have not witnessed at other dance schools". 

-Dr Amy Reynolds and Mr Ian Downing  

"Miss Leane is a wonderfully kind and patient teacher that provides a nurturing and supportive environment for children to learn.  Miss Leane is able to adapt her teaching to meet the needs of her students.  I am so happy we have found Miss Leane.  My daughter has come so far and more importantly she loves it".

"Miss Leané is a very kind and flexible teacher. She is a great ballerina and will be able to give you amazing training. She makes me feel like I don't have to be scared if I get something wrong. I enjoy ballet because Miss Leané makes it a fun and happy environment, and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn dance".- written by one of Miss Leané's students; Frankie age 9
"Leané has a special way with students - she is gentle and nurturing, while firm - and knows how to work with each individual child. I love the relaxed environment that her classes provide, and the kids always have fun. She has been an incredibly positive influence in my child's life in the 5 years we have been attending her classes. She has helped her build confidence in her physical abilities, and encouraged the growth of patience and resilience through the development of skills. My daughter really enjoys dancing because of Ms Leané. I highly recommend her classes".- Gillian (Frankie's mum)

"We have been very lucky to have Miss Leané teach our children ballet for over 6 years now. I can honestly say that Leané is the key reason our daughter has stuck with ballet class, despite her performance anxiety and general shyness. Leané brings out the best in every one of her students and the bond she shares with them all is absolutely beautiful. You can see how much she genuinely cares for them and goes above and beyond to help them develop their skills and overcome any challenges. She is no pushover though, and maintains a great level of respect and discipline in her classes as well, but in a very gentle and fair way. We now have our younger daughter doing ballet class with Leané, and she is flourishing and enjoying learning the correct techniques in a very fun and encouraging environment. We are so fortunate that we stepped in to Miss Leané’s class all those years ago!"
