Testimonials

  • At last! A ballet/contemporary studio offering true pre-professional training for today’s modern dancer. Galien, Yukichi, and Tara have been a godsend for our daughter, who is training to become a professional ballerina. They not only are they able to provide full time instruction with significant pointe work, they also offer top-notch contemporary technique instruction, and train to the current demands and standards of a professional-level dancer. Every detail is dissected from head-to-toe. Previous bad habits are broken down and rebuilt to the correct standard. Strength and artistry are emphasized, and every student is trained to their own individual abilities. Hattori/Williamson is passionate, committed, and ready to bring dancers to the next level. Their expertise in the industry is unmatched, and their steady, enthusiastic approach is undeniable. We are extremely grateful to have found this wonderful ballet school in Calgary. We would not send our daughter anywhere else.

  • H/W school of ballet has been an amazing program for our daughter. She feels supported and inspired everyday. To be taught by former professional dancers that understand what it takes to become a dancer as been invaluable. We feel very fortunate that a program of this calibre became available to her as a postgrad and was able to stay home and train and give her time to grow as a dancer and a person.

  • Three instructors from Hattori/Williamson School of Ballet have the most incredible gift to pull beauty from their students. The ballet and contemporary training they provide is unbelievable. My daughter has only danced at this school for four months and has improved immensely. She has gained technique, poise, confidence and a new family; I would recommend this positive professional training to anyone seeking to become a dancer or just wanting to learn this art form as the training and cost is incredible. My oldest daughter also attended the adult classes and was thoroughly impressed with the program, having been in ballet for many years herself. Bravo Galien, Yukichi and Tara.
