Ballet is a performance art which emerged in the Italian courts during the 15th Century and was further developed in the French courts particularly under King Louis XIV. Ballet is now known and loved worldwide; in the studio, on stage, in films and on television. Classical ballet incorporates artistry and creativity with elegant poise, strong, fluid leg and bodywork and delicate arm movements. All muscle groups are exercised and strengthened in a stimulating environment which encourages musicality, artistry and creativity.
Performing onstage is exciting and a thrill (for parents as well as children!) and is an invaluable part of the dancer’s education and development. Opportunities to perform on stage are provided and open days are scheduled each term in order for parents to observe their child’s progress. |

classes (3-5 years) incorporate dance, play and pretence within a creative structure. The whole body is exercised as the initial steps and concepts of dance are introduced. It is an excellent introduction to higher levels of dance and gives children confidence to perform to her/his best in a supported environment. |
|
students (5-6 years) may choose to participate in the Pre Primary in Dance class award of the internationally recognised Royal Academy of Dance. The classes develop the students’ physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression and musicality using a range of sounds and musical styles. This strong foundation prepares students for a successful transition to ballet and other dance genres. |
|
students (6-8 years) study the Royal Academy of Dance Primary syllabus and may participate in an examination. The sequences promote the child’s rhythm and musicality as well as improving strength, stamina and coordination. Imaginative and expressive ballet sequences introduce challenging movements which prepare them for more advanced study or other physical activities in the future. |
