My name is Wendy Holt and I am British-born, currently living in Toronto, Canada.
I received my teacher training at The Royal Ballet School, London, England in both RAD and Cecchetti ballet as well as the De Valois syllabus. I have taught in various schools in Ontario since 1990, including the National Ballet of Canada's Instudio program. I am a Registered teacher of the Royal Academy of Dance, RAD Examiner (including Solo Seal) and Tutor, as well as PBT by Marie Walton-Mahon certified.
The time seemed right to try something new and launch an online ballet coaching service.
Group and Private/Semi-private ballet classes offered online over Zoom. RAD classes available by request from Grade 3 to Solo Seal. Classes focussing on syllabus detail can be arranged as well as open classes, pointe, and repertoire coaching. Classes taught by an RAD Examiner and Tutor.

"I have been taking classes with Wendy Holt for over 4 years and have found her to be an exceptionally clear, precise, dedicated ballet teacher."
"A fellow student once called Wendy "Canada's hidden ballet gem" (as a teacher) and that is an accurate assessment. She brings a seriousness to each class as well as a keen sense of humour."
Wendy has been one of the best ballet teachers I’ve ever had. She is patient, kind and has a wonderful sense of humour that keeps lessons fun and engaging.
"As an adult ballet student I have so appreciated classes with Wendy. She brings out the best in her students, making them feel respect but also challenged to push themselves further."
Ballet Coach Online understands a range of things can cause a class to become no longer at an appropriate time. We are sympathetic to this, however, as an appointment based business we strictly enforce the following Cancellation Policy, with no exceptions. 24 hours notice is required for cancellations. Any appointment cancelled with less than 24 hours of notice will be charged the full class fee. Rescheduling a class must be done with at least 24 hours notice from the original appointment and is subject to availability. Packaged or Prepaid classes cannot be refunded. All "No Show" appointments will be charged the full appointment value. Ballet Coach Online reserves the right to cancel, reschedule, or amend any appointment, at any time at no cost to the student.
