Sessions are fully structured to develop the student skills and progressive development into the advance levels. Building on our Stepping Stones and First Steps programme, we offer four different levels of Ballet to suit the dancers skills and each level has its own specific syllabus.

Dancers are introduced to a class format. Starting with floor warm-up where students will work their flexibility and body alignment following by centre exercises were we will practice transfer of weights, arms movements and first positions to finish with simple exercises of jumps and walks. Dancers will develop the ability to memorise basic combinations.
Middle grades
This class will establish the base of a ballet class, introducing the students to the foundations of the barre work. They will learn the main ballet concepts and positions. Large and small poses, coordination, flexibility as well as introducing the demi point and En-dehors work. Dancers will develop the ability to self-expression, linking steps and memorise combinations.
Top Grades
Students at this level will be engage in the learning and discipline of Ballet. The classes progress to establish ballet lines, covering all basic steps. Legs elevations and Pirouettes are introduced and an emphasis on linking moves together with repetitions. Concentration and discipline are required. Dancers will develop an understanding of ballet showing confident on their movements.
