Perfect! Andre is the most wonderful ballet teacher. He makes it fun and interesting while still challenging me. He also regularly asks what I want to do, so if I want to do more barre work or more stretching we do that. He is so kind and talented.
Perfect! He gives lots of feed back and corrections which has helped me open my mind and understand how to use my whole body in my dancing. I have learnt so much in just a few months with him and I feel as i have improved so much from his amazing teaching.
- Clara is extremely committed to her learning making her an excellent student. She quickly picks up correction, has great level of concentration, is always open to received feedback, is open minded to new ideas a pleasure to work with.Andre's response :

Andre professionally conducts excellent ballet and strength training lessons to my three daughters - individually and together. Andre is incredibly accommodating to our hectic and chaotic family, responding appropriately and in the best interest of the girls in their requests for training. Andre is a firm but fair teacher and takes great pride in his teaching. We highly recommend Andre

Every class he opens my mind to something new and always encourages me to be at my best. He is so inspirational, I highly highly recommend him, he is such an amazing teacher!
O André Portásio é um profissional talentoso, habilidoso e genial! Seu trabalho como bailarino é incrível e sua carreira foi construída com muito esforço, amor e dedicação. Certamente seus alunos estão tendo um professor muito competente e comprometido em transmitir todo seu conhecimento. Conheço seu trabalho há bastante tempo como bailarino aqui no Brasil e posteriormente na Inglaterra, acompanhando sua bonita ascensão e torcendo sempre pelo seu sucesso.
I know André through my local dance school. He's a brilliant teacher and explains everything with great detail. In a month I've learnt so many things and have become a hundred times better!! I highly recommend him as a ballet teacher.
ANDRE IS A GREAT TEACHER! HE HAS A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AS A DANCER AND TEACHER. HIS LESSONS ARE TAILORED TO MY NEEDS AND HE ALWAYS EXPLAIN THINGS VERY WELL. HE ENCOURAGE AND INSPIRE ME TO ALWAYS BE AT MY BEST. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM LEARNED AND CONTINUE TO LEARN LOTS.
I’ve been taking lessons with Andre for a year now. He’s the most professional, encouraging and inspirational tutor I’ve ever had ( and I’ve had a lot!). It’s also a privilege to be trained by a world class dancer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
