Tone & Poise
Empowering the community through movement, confidence, and wellbeing
Tone & Poise is a welcoming, movement‑focused studio offering dance, Pilates, aerial hoop, aerial sling, and wellbeing‑centred classes for adults and young people. The business is built on a simple mission: to help people live healthier, more vibrant lives through enjoyable, confidence‑building movement.
Founded and led by Claire Tyler Hewson - an experienced dance educator with a strong background in ballet, GCSE dance, and mental wellbeing coaching - Tone & Poise blends technical skill with an encouraging, community‑driven approach. Claire’s teaching experience spans schools, community settings, and examination boards, giving her a deep understanding of how movement supports both physical and mental health.
A welcoming space for every level
Tone & Poise offers a wide range of classes designed to support different ages, abilities, and personal goals. Whether someone is returning to movement, trying something completely new, or looking to build strength and flexibility, the studio provides a warm and encouraging environment where everyone can progress at their own pace.
Classes span adult ballet, which offers a graceful and low‑impact way to improve posture and mobility, through to Pilates sessions focused on core strength, alignment, and controlled movement. For those seeking something more adventurous, aerial hoop and aerial sling provide fun, confidence‑building full‑body workouts, while GCSE dance students can benefit from specialist guidance tailored to their qualification.
Every class is created to help participants move with confidence and enjoy the process of improving their overall wellbeing.
Flexible booking and fair pricing
Tone & Poise offers both pay‑as‑you‑go options and flexible class packages, allowing participants to choose what suits their schedule and budget. Packages last for 12 months, giving people the freedom to use sessions whenever they wish without the pressure of weekly commitments.
The studio also offers private sessions, parties and special events, aerial workshops and open aerial practice sessions.
This flexibility makes Tone & Poise accessible to a wide range of people, from complete beginners to experienced movers.
