I cannot commend the MIoD team highly enough, since joining in 2017 I have found a place that is so much more than just a ballet school, the level of inclusiveness to see me for my whole identity as a woman with my trans experience has allowed me to be more free and more expressive in my dance. From the tailored curriculum to the mental support which has seen the development of my skills, challenging myself and being apart of something that is more than my identity, it is part of my ballet family.

You have bought the gift of ballet into the lives of those like me who thought it impossible to express emotion through the magic combination of ballet and music.
We adults can now rekindle days of old with such wonderful memories.
Thank you for your patience and wonderful tuition. Through your school and teaching basic ballet to adults. You have given a wonderful gift to us all…..joy!

Thank you for all that you are doing with the girls and our daughter is really enjoying classes. This is a testament to yours and the other teacher's wonderful instruction.

After months of rehearsals and costume fittings suddenly it was "Chookas Everyone!" And we were on stage! The Gala concert at Xavier on a big stage with proper lighting was a little (and big) girl's dream come true. At last, I was a dancer and it was all thanks to Kalman Warhaft and the team at Melbourne Institute of Dance.
