BALLET

Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles, which is why we recommend all dancers in this age group take at least one class each week. Ballet teaches correct practice, focus, and discipline, while also developing strength, posture, flexibility and musicality. Following the British Ballet Organisation syllabus, students work towards examinations that give them goals to strive for, ensuring they build solid technique to support all areas of their dancing.
