A story of light hearts in strong bodies

Founded in Montreal, Quebec in 2016, Ballet Hop! is a local small business lovingly run by a team of dedicated, giggly gals.

The Ballet Hop! method was created by a multidisciplinary team of ballet teachers and kinesiologists. All our workouts include a mix of cardio, muscle work, and full stretches. Add a generous dose of fun, and voilà! Our goal is for you to feel refreshed, bendy, calm-minded, and happy-hearted by the end of every class.

Motivated: We're all about that "just right" effort. Not too much, not too little. Some days you really have to kick your own butt just to get to class—which makes you even prouder of your workout!
Giggly: The gang and the good times are top priorities for us, because honestly, who's got time for a boring workout?
Inspired: We're big believers in a calm mind inside a strong body, little victories, and high-fives. We lift each other up as a team that sticks together—tight abs, tighter community!

Real ballet for real people

In Canada, 1 out of 2 girls drops out of sports before the end of her teens due to negative experiences with physical activity.

If we want more equality and better representation of strong, empowered women, it all starts with building our confidence. That’s where we step in, offering uplifting, ballet-inspired workouts for humans of every shape, age, and experience level. No side-eyeing the mirror here: a little or a lot of talent (who cares anyway?), but boatloads of newfound confidence, fun, high-fives, and wins both big and small.

Our team

Camille

Founder + Head Honcho

Camille is the founder of Ballet Hop! She's bubbly, hyperactive, passionate, and a total scatterbrain—except when she's running her business. As flexible as a 2x4, it's a good thing she's stubborn! Her classes are a barrel of laughs (well, according to her, anyway). She's now followed everywhere by two little sidekicks, Clémentine and Thimothée, but that doesn't stop her from working hard and partying hard (as long as she's in bed by 8 PM).
