I’m Anne Carollo, studio owner, educator, and forever student of ballet. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I’m passionate about breaking things down in a way that clicks, especially for beginners who want clear, approachable guidance. I love finding creative, unconventional ways to help you understand ballet so you feel confident and inspired.
My mission is to make ballet accessible whether you don’t have a studio nearby, you’re prepping for classes, or you want to deepen your technique. I’m certified in ABT®, PBT, 4-Pointe, and Florida Dance Masters in Ballet and Jazz, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you.
At Gulf Coast Dancenter, we believe ballet is for everyone. Explore, learn, and grow one step, plié, and port de bras at a time.
✨ Subscribe and let’s learn ballet together your way. ✨
💙 If you want to dance with me in person, I have an Adult Ballet Winter Workshop on December 27th & 28th. You can find the link with more information below.

🌟 Exciting news, everyone! 🌟
As many of you know, I’m not only a ballet educator here on YouTube, I’m also a studio owner! Which means… you can actually come take class in person with me! 🩰
My studio is located in Largo, Florida, just minutes from the stunning Clearwater beaches and right in the heart of the Tampa Bay area, the perfect spot for a weekend getaway filled with dance and sunshine. ☀️
This December, I’m hosting my 2nd Annual Adult Ballet Winter Workshop, two incredible days of pure ballet bliss, with 2 levels, designed just for adult dancers. You’ll feel spoiled, supported, and surrounded by other like-minded ballet lovers.
If that sounds like your kind of weekend, head over to my website for all the details (and to grab your spot before it fills up!). 💕

🎉 We just hit 30,000 total views on the channel, and we couldn't have done it without YOU! 🩰✨
I just want to start off by saying thank you! What was started as a resource for my adult students at Gulf Coast Dancenter is quickly turning into a fun adventure to help dancers all over the world. The idea that I can share my unconventional but common sense style of teaching with more dancers is exciting. My mission is to let everyone know that it is never too late to start and everyone can do ballet they just need the right explanation and teacher. I hope I can be that for you!
Let’s keep growing together and remember:
TRUST the process, and enjoy YOUR journey. ✨
