Ballet

Ballet ultimately traces back to the Latin ballare, meaning ‘to dance’. As it is the backbone of all other dance disciplines, Ballet is perhaps the most important discipline.  

Our  pre-school ballerinas will learn the basics of classical ballet in a relaxed and comfortable environment. We use a combination of story-telling, expressive movement and imagination to encourage our little dancers to find the true ballerina within them!

As students get older they have the opportunity to sit exams (although this is not compulsory) as well as performing in out Summer Showcase.  Our ballet classes focus on teaching students control and stamina while embracing the discipline and elegance of this dance style. This will greatly improve their posture, flexibility and strength while doing something they love.  

We are affiliated to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD). All out examinations are taken through this organisation. The ISTD is one of the world’s leading dance organisations covering a vast range of genres for more than 100 years. Their mission is to, ‘...educate the public in the art of dancing in all its forms, to promote knowledge of dance, to provide up-to-date techniques for our members, and to maintain and improve teaching standards.’ (istd.org)
