Beginners Class

Our Beginners classes are structured lessons where students learn the foundations of dance training.
For safety while performing movements, correct technique should always be taught by qualified, experienced teachers from the very start, regardless of the standard and age of the student. Small class sizes mean that more individualised attention can be given to each student in these formative years.
By ensuring the foundations of dance training 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.

Saturdays 1.00-1.30pmBeginners Ballet is for children with either no, or little dance experience.
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. The above class is suitable for both boys and girls.

Enrolment Requirements:
Our advised age for joining our structured ballet classes is 4 years old.
Please see our FAQs page.
- Unfortunately, we cannot accept students who are still wearing nappies or require the regular use of a dummy/pacifier or comfort blanket. Students should be confident in using a toilet on their own.
- 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)
