Outstanding Ballet School
Rana is a wonderful teacher and a beautiful person. I have three daughters who attended Rana's ballet - their dancing ability varied greatly. Rana made each one feel very special and developed them in a way which suited them best. Rana's 14 years as a ballet dancer with the Istanbul Ballet has an obvious impact on her teaching. Her knowledge of how a dancer needs to develop is exceptional. Rana's commitment and organisation is second to none. I could not speak highly enough about this school.
