Ballet

Ballet is a fantastic foundation for all forms of dance because of it’s focus on posture, technique and discipline.

Our ballet classes follow the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) syllabus, which was first designed in the early 1900’s. The syllabus guides young ballet dancers through the technique from beginner to expert level based on age, physiological readiness and ability.

Age 4 yrs +

We offer a number of different class levels within our weekly schedule. Placements are generally defined by age, but some genres (ballet and tap in particular) take other things into consideration, such as technical ability and experience. Ultimately it is the teacher who decides the correct placement for a child. When selecting a class for the first time please be guided by the categories below but bare in mind the teacher may make recommendations after your child’s first class.

First Steps in Ballet & Tap 4 and 5 year olds
Mini Age Group 5 to 8 years old
Junior Age Group 8 to 11 years old
