About Suné-Lee
Suné-Lee Esch is a movement educator, choreographer, flexibility specialist, and Pilates Method Alliance Certified Teacher (PMACPT) whose work bridges movement science, classical pedagogy, and performance conditioning. She is extensively trained in classical and modern dance and has developed an interdisciplinary practice integrating performance, conditioning, and education.
Her professional performance career includes international work as a dancer, contortionist, and choreographer. She has coached dancers affiliated with The Royal Ballet (London) and provided flexibility, ballet, and Pilates conditioning to South African Olympic athletes in preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Games. Suné’s professional portfolio also encompasses choreography, creative direction, and production management for stage and event-based performance projects.
Suné holds Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing Ballet & Modern Teaching Diplomas and is a certified Barre and Flexistretcher instructor. She specializes in classical ballet, barre fitness, and flexibility training for beginner-level adults, with multiple years of experience guiding performers and students across disciplines.
Having transitioned from full-time performing, Suné now focuses on choreography, pedagogy, and research-informed movement practice. She develops training programs, workshops, and educational resources that integrate cross-disciplinary conditioning with classical dance methodology. Her teaching framework is neurodiversity-informed and trauma-aware, prioritizing sustainable training, consent-based coaching, and long-term performer wellbeing.

I specialise in teaching beginner-level students aged 10 and up, guiding them to develop safe, effective, and sustainable movement skills. Throughout lessons, I integrate Anatomy & Physiology, helping students understand how their body moves and how to train intelligently.
My teaching is highly individualised: I adapt exercises, progressions, and teaching methods to each student’s goals, abilities, limitations, and learning style. I take into account principles such as specificity and diminishing returns to ensure training is meaningful and effective, whether building a structured program or running a casual once off session.
I have experience working with neurodivergent students and individuals with hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), prioritising sensitivity, safety, and consent-based coaching.
I believe that combining nurturing guidance, positive reinforcement, and strategic challenge allows students to progress confidently while developing long-term movement literacy and resilience.

Neither of us had any experience going in to learn a first dance for our wedding. She made it both easy but also pushed us ever slightly to make it impressive and memorable without pushing too hard at all.
The steps were simple and we grew from there.

Thanks a bunch it turned out great.Sunè is a family link of mine and was an incredible dance teacher who helped my wife and me prepare for our wedding first dance. She was patient, encouraging, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Even when we struggled, she stayed positive and supportive, helping us build confidence and actually have fun learning. Thanks to her, our first dance felt natural and special. We’re really grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her!
Suné-Lee is a phenomenal dance instructor. My husband and I were recommended to her to choreograph our wedding dance, and from the very beginning we knew we were in the best hands.
She offered a call beforehand to get to know us — asking about our dance experience, confidence levels, what we’ll be wearing — and that already showed her professionalism, care, and deep understanding of what goes into creating the perfect first dance.
We’ve had three lessons so far and we’ve genuinely loved every single one. We learn so much each time, and she creates such a comfortable, fun environment. She is patient, encouraging, kind, and incredibly talented.
We couldn’t recommend her more highly 🤍Suné-Lee is a wonderfully engaging, attentive and switched on instructor. We put her on the spot with only 2 weeks to work with for our wedding first dance.
I was super nervous about that first sway with my seemingly more proficient fiancé . Suné-Lee broke down our chosen track into understandable segments, with easy to identify cues and choreographed our first hoedown in our very first session with her.
Experience is absolutely brilliant and we are looking forward to continuing with Suné-Lee until our big event and beyond.
If you have not tried dance lessons, as a self proclaimed ‘rigid-as-a-postbox’ guy, I highly recommend you give it a shot. It’s a wonderful moment to connect with your significant other and learn one of life’s most valuable skills.
Suné-Lee = 12 out of 10. She is really good.Suné-Lee is one of the most versatile and knowledgeable instructor I've had the honor to meet. She is super attentive to the needs of her students and always encourages safety and makes sure you are having lots of fun while still pushing you to work.
Thank you Miss Suné! You're the best!Suné is an amazing, nurturing, caring, knowledgeable and kind teacher. She has become a mentor to me and really takes the time and care to individualise her students in all facets. She is always prepared and guides you for long term success.
Suné creates the best space to both succeed and fail comfortably and with grace. I attended her aerial yoga class which I approached with nerves but due to her guidance and assurance as an instructor I quickly felt at ease. Aerial yoga gave me a space to decompress while finding active flexibility and balance and Sunè guides you every step of the way to reach your full potential. I can’t imagine a better instructor or recommend her enough for any class!
I had such a beautiful experience at an aerial yoga class today and can’t recommend it enough! Thanks to Sune, from the moment I walked in, the space felt welcoming and calming, and the instructor created such a supportive, encouraging environment.
As a dancer, I really appreciated how fluid and intuitive the movements felt. It wasn’t hectic or overwhelming — instead, it allowed for strength, stretch, and control in a way that felt both challenging and enjoyable. The instructor gave clear guidance while still allowing space to explore and move with confidence.
Floating in the hammock was such a freeing feeling — playful, strengthening, and deeply restorative all at once. I left feeling lengthened, refreshed, and inspired.
Such a fun and empowering experience — I can’t wait to go back!Suné is a rare find in an instructor ! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the body, her craft & has a great sense of humour to boot. Her classes feel like a safe space; they are also informative, transformative and fun - there’s no better combo.
Highly recommend!I have been attending Suné’s classes in advanced stretching, pilates, functional flexibility and aerial yoga for several years. Her strong ballet background and deep understanding of anatomy result in well informed, enjoyable and targeted exercises that propel you towards your goals. She is able to work with all body types and adapt movement to suit each individual's needs. All this, combined with the energy that she brings to each lesson recommends her as an excellent teacher.
Over the past years I have attended many of Sune’s fitness classes as well as her adult ballet class. She is a clear, articulate, and highly knowledgeable instructor with an excellent understanding of anatomy. Her classes are well structured, flow smoothly, and are always well prepared, and the results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend her as both a fitness and ballet instructor.
We used to dance together when we were kids and her passion for what she does really shines through in every class.I know Miss Suné because she was my dance teacher.That being said she has extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and what’s healthy and beneficial towards toning and further improving the body in a healthy sustainable manner.I felt each exercise benefiting in a good way and the class was well spaced and paced.With sufficient breaks in between just to let the brain recoup.I highly recommend her as a tutor for a better and healthier outlook on life.
We highly recommend Suné for wedding dance lessons! She is professional, reliable, and an absolute star.
From our first session, Suné was on time, prepared, and offered a wonderfully personalized teaching style. She is completely flexible, happily adjusting steps and choreography to suit our natural movements and comfort level. She worked with us to find movements that felt authentic and was always open to adjusting her ideas or offering alternatives until we were completely happy.
Her supportive and encouraging presence made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. If you are looking for a personalised, professional, and supportive instructor for your special day, I would highly recommend Suné!Suné is a great teach, her lessons are engaging and fun! She makes learning feel easy and enjoyable, and I'd recommend her without hesitation.
Sune taught me and my husband our first dance for our wedding day. She was super professional, patient and even went out of her way to cut the music and song that we danced on. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.
My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of learning our wedding dance from Suné, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. In just two lessons, she managed to choreograph and teach us a beautiful, fully structured two-minute slow dance from start to finish — something we honestly didn’t think was possible within such a short time!
Suné's charismatic and funny personality made the whole process so enjoyable. She was incredibly encouraging, patient, and thoughtful, especially with beginners like us who had zero dance background. Her ability to break down each step clearly and adjust to our pace really showed her deep knowledge and teaching skill. One thing that stood out was her attention to detail — for example, she wore different-coloured socks so we could easily see which leg she was moving. It’s small touches like these that show just how professional and creative she is as an instructor.
We walked away from her lessons not just confident in our choreography, but genuinely enjoying dancing together — and that’s all thanks to Suné.
I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dance tutor who’s both talented and a joy to learn from. You can tell she truly knows what she’s doing and loves what she teaches.I had the privilege of working with Suné for a 3 month programme in preparation for a show and she was incredible. Not only did she get me to equal splits in both left and right leg, back flexibility and preparation with tricks, but she also strengthened muscles with previous injuries, created a programme designed specifically for me and made me trust my body so much more than I ever have. She had the perfect balance between keeping me motivated and disciplined whilst still reminding me that life happens and to put health ahead of pressure. I’d 100% work with her again. If anyone’s needing a teacher/mentor/expert to create a programme that works for YOU, definitely try one or Sune’s classes.
I love Suné’s classes! She comes prepared and plans the classes before hand. (Which always makes things run smoother!). She’s also very encouraging and takes her time to explain the proper form and technique. I’ve been training with her for a month and my body is much stronger! I totally recommend her
Suné is incredibly knowledgeable and I've loved working with her. Whether it's a technique class or flexibility training. She is definitely one of the people that inspire me to keep improving my dance training in a safe way.
What a wonderfully passionate and knowledgeable teacher! Suné coaches with care for her students and her delivery is clear and easy to follow. Her lessons definitely offer benefit to ones dancing journey.
I’ve both worked with Sunè and seen her work with others.
She takes immense pride in helping others achieve their goals and always gets them to where they need to be.
She’s professional, trustworthy, and beyond qualified as an instructor for multiple platforms.
I will continue to work with her for as long as I possibly can.Classes with Sune are wonderful to say the least.
She definitely understands her craft and you will see results if you follow her program very quickly (both body conditioning and stretching alike)
Her classes are professional and extremely affordable.
There is a lot of easily accessible information on her pages online in addition to her live classes. This is extremely helpful as well.
Would highly recommend to anyone.
I have the honour of working and dancing with Suné-Lee. She has an amazing way of transforming bodies, inspiring people and making people feel confident about themselves.
I highly recommend her for beginner to advanced dancers and aspiring movers. She will give you so much support and help you understand your body in the best way.
Have fun! I always do in her classes.I cannot express how grateful I am for this lady! She has created a platform that feels so safe and where growth in strength and flexibility is guaranteed. She has a brilliant way of making all her classes relevant to all levels. Her constant encouragement and useful information has been such a help in my journey. Could not have asked for a better flexibility trainer!
Her classes are very informative and she explains what's happening in the body while you are stretching. She handles the classes with professionalism and always answers a question with confidence and knowledge. Highly recommend her classes!
