KALON & REPETTO

THE FOUNDERS

Sophie

Company Director

At 18 years old, Sophie's dream became reality when she joined the Lido de Paris as a Bluebell Girl, after 15 years of dance training in Northern England.

After a Masters degree in Intercultural Management alongside her career, Sophie left the world of dance and moved to the United-States to work in corporate events and incentive travel, where she was inspired by other entrepreneurs and learnt about business creation/development and management.

Sophie loves wellness, nutrition, fitness and learning new things! She created Kalon with Emma to help other dancers in their transitions towards new careers, while creating workouts to help clients sculpt themselves the body of a dancer, without needing to be one !

Sophie runs the business behind the scenes but loves spending time with clients too. She enjoys seeing clients working out, laughing, smiling and having a great time!

Emma

Head Coach & Teacher Trainer

British-born Emma was raised in London and trained as a classical dancer at the prestigious Royal Ballet School.

After a career with various Ballet companies around Europe, she arrived in Paris to join the Moulin Rouge. During her career, Emma trained as a Pilates, Yoga and Gyrotonics instructor, to strengthen her body and protect it from injury.

Emma created the Cardio Barre technique to combine her skills and knowledge in ballet & fitness, working hard to create a method which would be fun and accessible to all levels, while delivering real results.

Today, Emma teaches Cardio Barre, Ballet Yoga Flow and Ballet Pilates, and created Kalon with Sophie in 2018 to share her expertise and passion with others.
