  • Pre-Primary Ballet: dancing games developing confidence through introducing physical dexterity and co-ordination, musicality,  attentiveness and sociability – for c3.5–5.5 year-olds.
  • Primary Ballet develops the skills already learned and introduces more formal elements of dance training. For c5.5–7 year-olds.  These age ranges are advisory not definitive.
  • General Grades build a foundation of classical ballet technique along with free movement and character dance.  From grade 4 it is highly advisable to take two classes per week
  • Higher Grades develop the artistry of the student through increasingly complex and demanding choreography, but still accessible on two lessons per week.
  • Vocational Grades are designed for the serious and talented student who may wish to pursue a career in ballet, and are able to attend 3/4 or even daily classes per week.
  • Modern (including Tap, brilliant for rhythmic musicality) allows children and students to explore another style of theatrical dance, expressing themselves more freely and to a wide range of contemporary music.
