For a beat in Ballet, breath in Pilates and Technique in Massage…Battu Brisé has got you covered!

Battu Brisé is a ballet and pilates studio, based in Horison, Roodepoort, aimed at providing quality training in Royal Academy of Dance Ballet and Pilates. For children aged 2 years, through to Adults of all ages.

My Name is Haleigh van Rooyen. I started dancing when I was 2 years old and still dance to this day. I have loved 15 years of being a ballerina, training under the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus, that journey continues today as I still want to develop my own unique style of training that I bring into my classes for not only myself but my students as well.

My love and passion is my ballet. Other than being a ballet teacher I am an Exercise Specialist, Sports Massage Therapist and Pilates Instructor. I am a member of the Royal Academy of Dance as well as REPSSA the, professional sports body of South Africa.

I have been teaching for 8 years and I have danced with 2 professional dance companies Johannesburg Youth Ballet and Mogale Youth Ballet and was the principal dancer for 4 years running. I believe anyone can dance if their heart and soul are emersed in passion for dance. I have a passion to teach not only ballet but the understanding of how your body works.” Battu Brisé was established in 2017 we started with Sports Massage and Personal training and in 2019 we expanded into our pilates classes, we are very excited to launch our Ballet Studio in 2022!!

Mission

I have a passion to teach not only Ballet but Pilates as well, demonstrating how fascinating the human body is and what your body is capable of.

Vision

To provide education not only into what Ballet is about but understanding the art. Educating and demonstrating the benefits of pilates in a non-classic class, breaking the stigma about pilates.

Values

  • I believe in being honest at all times and value the honesty of others.
  • I believe kindness and courage will overcome any challenge you face.
  • I believe that hard work really does pay off, a lesson I love giving to all my students throughout their journey with me.
  • Creating a safe space for dancers to explore their passion and love for dance and finding their own creativity through movement
  • Promoting success in every aspect of a dancer or students life. The lessons you learn in a dance or pilates class go way beyond just the exercise, it is life lessons that carry you through.
