Lola Belle absolutely loves attending Janet Lomas School of Dancing. Each week she enjoys learning new techniques whilst practicing existing skills and really enjoys the social aspect of ballet. We wanted Lola Belle to attend a school where she would be professionally taught the right way and the school has exceeded our expectations. Lola has been attending the school since the age of three, during this time we have seen her develop as a ballet dancer, whilst also growing in confidence with her dancing and social skills. We are so proud to watch Lola Belle dance with such grace and confidence. Thank you.

– Michele and Paul, Lola Belle's parents.

Give your child the best start in ballet

Our Beginners classes are structured lessons where students learn the foundations of ballet training. By ensuring the foundations of dance have been correctly taught at a young age, this means that the student can continue to flourish as a dancer and will not have to spend time learning basic techniques or re-learning incorrect techniques later on.
Our Beginners Ballet class is for children with either no, or little dance experience. The class is suitable for both boys and girls.

Students learn the basic steps, positions of the feet and early technique of ballet which is taught through mime, song, story, and simple exercise. Social skills are enhanced with the opportunity to make new dance friends, and confidence is developed in a friendly environment.

We encourage the development of your child's body awareness, natural capabilities of dance expression and the joy of participating in a variety of movements — a beneficial factor in developing a young child's motor skills — all while laying an important foundation for dance training.

​Students progress from our Beginners class into our Junior classes.
I moved my daughter to Janet Lomas School of Dancing after being disappointed in the teaching and progression with my daughter in another dance school. This was a great decision; I can see that Eve is being taught good ballet technique in a positive, fun and encouraging environment. Miss Johanna is well qualified and gives specific feedback for each child and plenty of praise when they have done well.
Eve has made obvious progress with her dancing and loves these classes. This is an excellent dance school and the success of current and previous students speaks for itself.


– Eka and Tom, parents to Eve, age 5
Enrolment Requirements: 
  • While we understand first lesson nerves, please note that we do not allow parents into the dance room to observe the lesson as this can be distracting for both children and teachers. Students should therefore be confident enough to be in a lesson on their own. (We do have a small waiting area where parents can stay for the duration of the Beginners class.)
  • ​Must not be attending another school for dance classes (even as part of a performing arts course)

Our advised age for joining our structured ballet classes is 4 years old.
