Beginners Ballet classes are drop off classes based on RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) syllabus, which is a London based children\u2019s ballet training programme for girls and boys.<\/p>\n

The classes incorporate classical ballet technique, an introduction to basic positions and movements, free work and improvisation, imagination and story telling. We aim for every child to develop a love of dance and theatre as well as improved posture, poise, coordination, musicality and self-confidence, grace and discipline. As well as having fun in ballet class!<\/p>\n

Each term we have a \u2018theme\u2019 that all the classes follow; past themes include Four Seasons, Animals, Sleeping Beauty, Holidays and Swan Lake. Along the theme, we prepare a dance throughout the term that the dancers perform for you in our termly open class, which is held at the end of each term (Normally April, July and December)<\/p>\n

All children are invited to take part in our ballet performances and at age 5, they will be considered for their readiness to move into the syllabus class of Pre-Primary.<\/p>\n
