A story of light hearts in strong bodies Founded in Montreal, Quebec in 2016, Ballet Hop! is a small local business run with love by a team of dedicated and giggling girls. The Ballet Hop! method was developed by a multidisciplinary team of ballet teachers and kinesiologists. All our workouts include various segments of cardio, strength training, and full-body stretching. Add a good dose of fun, and there you have it! Our goal is for you to feel invigorated and flexible at the end of your class, with a calm mind and a happy heart. Motivated: We're all about finding the right amount of effort. Not too much, not too little. There are days when you have to kick yourself into gear to get to class, and you can be even prouder of your workout! Laughers: The gang and the fun are top priorities for us, because seriously, who has time for a boring workout? Inspired: We strongly believe in a calm mind in a strong body, in small victories and high-fives. We inspire each other to form a team that sticks together – and works its abs. Real ballet for a real world In Canada, one in two girls gives up sports before the end of their adolescence, due to negative experiences with physical activity. If we want more equality and greater representation from strong, committed women, we must begin by building our own confidence. That's where we come in, with our supportive, ballet-inspired training for people of all shapes, ages, and experience levels. Here, there are no sideways glances in the mirror: more or less talent (that's not important), but plenty of newfound confidence, fun, high-fives, and victories both big and small.
