Ballet for Sports
Online ballet training for gymnasts, skaters and sportspeople
Why does ballet help sports?Ballet provides careful and technical training, helping athletes understand the way their body moves, adding grace, poise, strength and flexibility. Whether it’s working on fundamental movements to ensure that the leg is fully extended or advanced sequences for co-ordination and placement, ballet gives a finesse to movements that is unparalleled by any other training method. |

In our Ballet for Sports programme, we provide weekly online ballet and conditioning training, taught live on Zoom for athletes who wish to use the benefits of ballet to enhance their sports training. These classes are widely attended by athletes of artistic sports such as artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating and artistic roller skating (Dance, Figures and Free). However, the benefits of ballet training is not limited to just these sports – we've also helped people training in sports such as football, netball and swimming. |

In order for ballet to benefit sports training, ballet tuition must be provided at a highly technical level from an experienced tutor. This is something which athletes usually struggle find as provisions can vary widely by location. By joining the Janet Lomas School of Dancing, you are supported by a large community of like-minded people and an experienced tutor who understands the specific requirements for using ballet for sports. Athletes can access our training from anywhere in the world via Zoom.
