Senior Ballet

Our Senior Ballet class is designed for dancers around 12 years old who have prior Ballet experience. However, we welcome dedicated new students who are the right fit for our school and eager to learn. This level requires focus, commitment, and a willingness to practice at home to truly benefit from the training. In this class, your child will: 
Refine their technique through barre work, centre exercises, and travelling sequences
Expand their knowledge of classical ballet steps, terminology, and artistry
Follow the RAD and ATOD syllabi, incorporating classical repertoire, expressive dance, and imaginative movement
Work collaboratively with peers and partners to develop teamwork and support within the class.

Senior Ballet students also engage in self-reflection and goal-setting, with teachers providing personalized feedback and progress updates, shared with parents.

Lyrical Dance

This dance class is suited to children who enjoy the expressive and freedom of dance, most suited alongside Ballet or if children have ballet experience.

Lyrical Dance is an expressive form of dance through a combination of Ballet, Jazz and Modern Dance. Children learn to express emotions through dance and music whilst working in unison with the group. This class also allows your child to express themselves through routines and imaginative dance both independently and with partners / group.

This class is suitable if your child is over 8yrs old and has a certain level of maturity, as the class includes early teens.

Parents do not stay for this class; however, you are invited to our termly parent viewing week.

Acro Dance

Acro dance is a unique dance style that blends dance techniques, more so Jazz, with acrobatics and gymnastics-inspired movements. It combines strength, flexibility, balance and coordination to create competent dancers that can execute tumbling, lifts and controlled tricks safely.

In this 1 hour Acro class, children will build strength, flexibility and confidence while mastering fun skills like handstands, cartwheels, backbends and even partner lifts! It’s all about moving safely, staying strong and having a blast while dancing and tumbling at the same time
