Ballet Dance Classes
Children can start ballet classes at age of 3 in our Little Cygnets class. Students work their way up through the RAD grades, hopefully taking Grade 8 by the time they graduate.
We also offer ‘Vocational’ classes and examinations, from Intermediate Foundation up to Advanced Level. These examinations are for students in Grade 4 or above who demonstrate an excellent standard of Ballet and may have the potential to work towards a career in Dance. These classes are by invite only.
Ballet encourages poise, discipline and confidence, and is the basis of all dance styles.
