CLASSES
Our school offers a large variety of performing arts styles and below are our recommended classes based on your child's school year/age. This is only a guideline however, and students will not be limited to these levels should an advanced class be more suitable.
For children in Nursery, Reception or Year 1.
MINIS (2.5 - 6 YEAR OLDS)
PRE-SCHOOL DANCE & DRAMA
A super fun beginners class combining ballet, tap and drama!
This introductory class is a great stepping stone for our tiny performers wanting to explore dance and drama for the first time.
Best suited for Nursery children.
JUNIORS (6 - 10 YEAR OLDS)
For children in Years 2-5.
JUNIOR BALLET
Once children are in Year 2, they meet the minimum age requirement to start taking their Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations.
From here, children will naturally progress through the RAD graded syllabi from Primary to Grade 2. If your child is slightly older and keen to try ballet however, we will place them in a class that best suits their age and ability.
Ballet is an artistic, classical and highly technical dance form, and our classes are perfect for those wanting to explore ballet more thoroughly!
For children in Years 6-9.
MIDS (10 - 14 YEAR OLDS)
MID BALLET
Most of our children naturally progress through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) graded syllabi after successfully completing the prior grade. However if your child is slightly older and keen to try ballet, we will place them in a class that best suits their age and ability.
Once children go into Year 8, they have the opportunity to start studying the RAD's vocational syllabi where they will also be examined en pointe. The first vocational syllabus is called Intermediate Foundation, and it is advised that they take this ballet class alongside their graded ballet class. Both examinations compliment and support each other, and provide students with more advanced and technical ballet training.

SENIOR BALLET
