Perfect! Great tutor! Experienced, knowledgable and great at meeting you at your level, at the same time.
Perfect! Joy was very encouraging and supported me in attempting things that I did not think I was capable of, which was lovely for my confidence and my progress. Joy was very friendly and patient despite the techincal difficulties we experienced, and she has a great attention to detail.
- Teaching Sophia was such a pleasure, she is a lovely person and I can tell that she really enjoys ballet through her dancing. She has a positive attitude towards everything and responds to corrections very well. I look forward to our lessons and I can't wait to see her progression.Joy's response :
Perfect! My 5 years old enjoys her lessons with Joy, she is very professional and fun
- Sophia is such a super little girl, she is very clever and enthusiastic about ballet. She has a lot of potential and I thoroughly enjoy teaching her and seeing her thrive during our classes together!Joy's response :
Perfect! She is excellent!She is the best Ballet teacher I’ve had on Superprof. Joy is the perfect teacher for me because I want to improve my strength, flexibility, and technique (basically everything you need for doing proper ballet). The conditioning she gave me significantly improved my turnout and strength with 2 lessons only. During barre and centre, she taught me to improve my posture and the correct way to use the muscle. She also pointed out things I’m lack of straight away even though it’s online. The lessons with her are much better than any other classes you would have normally in studios, because Joy can actually make you improve!! It’s worth your money!
- Laura is a very intelligent student, she is quick to learn the combinations and is keen to receive and apply corrections with a positive attitude. She has great energy and is very enjoyable to teach. We will work on her strength, flexibility and technique. She has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing her progress!Joy's response :

Joy has been teaching my daughter ballet and body conditioning for the past few months, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. She is a wonderful coach—knowledgeable, encouraging, and full of positive energy.
The quality of her teaching is exceptional. Each lesson is thoughtfully planned and beautifully delivered, with careful attention to both technique and injury prevention. What really stands out is how Joy manages to keep my daughter completely motivated, even through the more challenging exercises. Every session is conducted with the same enthusiasm and dedication, and the results have been excellent—my daughter has improved significantly and developed a genuine love for ballet as a discipline, all thanks to Joy’s coaching.
Beyond her teaching excellence, Joy is also organised, punctual, polite, and genuinely caring. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and plan to continue lessons with her for as long as possible. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Joy to anyone looking for a fantastic ballet teacher.Joy is amazing. She really pushes you, but then if you genuinely struggle or need something lighter that day, she's incredibly understanding. She puts her heart into each session. I can really see my own progress, and it has been less than a year!
My daughter is really enjoying Joy’s weekly ballet and body conditioning classes. Joy is a skilled teacher who loves breaking down everything to make sure that my daughter understands the steps and she has a huge eye for detail making sure that the steps and movements are executed accurately and properly. With Joy’s lessons my daughter has made very good progress in such a short time. She has not only helped my daughter gain more confidence in her ballet classes but also helped her gain strength in her muscles through her tailored conditioning classes. She has also gone the extra mile for my daughter, finding interesting Musical Theatre events for her to be involved with during the lockdown, as my daughter pursues her dream career in Musical Theatre. Joy will push you to your limits, I highly recommend.
