Private evaluation class for new students

Picture
  We offer all new students a 30 minute 1-to-1 online evaluation class. This gives us the opportunity to fully assess your child's current ballet standard, understanding of technique and areas for development. If your child hasn't taken ballet classes before, it gives them the chance to learn their first basics positions and steps in a one-to-one environment. It also gives the parent and child the opportunity to meet the teacher and get a feel for how we can help you with our online classes –  plus, it makes the first lesson a little less daunting!

​If you would like a longer evaluation class, please contact us and we'd be only too happy to arrange this.

Classical Ballet

Non-syllabus ballet

Picture
Prices start from £5.50 a class

​Non-syllabus ballet classes secure excellent classical ballet technique, artistry and musicality while providing students with a well-rounded ballet education.


Non-syllabus ballet classes are attended by both the more serious dance student and those who wish to attend once a week as a hobby.  We also work closely with competitive elite gymnasts, skaters and sportspeople to enhance their training with ballet classes via our Ballet for Sports programme

The benefits of non-syllabus ballet is that the classes do not work to the restriction of a syllabus. Non-syllabus ballet classes are structured lessons that help to develop responsiveness to ballet exercises and steps. They also improve knowledge of ballet vocabulary in a challenging and focussed class.
Classical ballet classes help to improve technique, stamina, strength, control, and poise – alongside being a great form of exercise. Ballet is widely considered to be the core technique required for all dance styles.

Our ballet classes are available for:
  • UK daytime, evenings and Saturday afternoons  (N.B. our daytime class is perfect for home-schooling children)
  • The Americas 
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
  • Middle East/Africa

Vaganova method ballet

Picture
Prices start from £5.50 a class
​

​The Vaganova method is a slow and methodical training, developing precision, strength, delicate arms and strong technique. This world-renowned ballet training method was developed in Russia by dancer, choreographer and teacher Agrippina Vaganova (1879–1951). 

The Vaganova Method is taught at some of the most famous ballet schools in the world, including the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow and the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St Petersburg.

Pre-Pointe & Pointe Class

Picture
Our Pointe classes are non-syllabus classes designed to gradually build up a student's strength and ability to dance 'en pointe'. It takes many years of good technical training, and a lot of strength to dance en pointe. Pointe work is a required element of Vocational Graded Ballet examinations.

Pre-Pointe is a compulsory preparation for every student before their transition to dancing in pointe shoes.

This is a specific class for students who have been assessed by the teacher as suitable for pointe work.

Progressing Ballet Technique®

Picture

​Progressing Ballet Technique is an innovative program developed by RAD examiner, Marie Walton-Mahon, alongside the care a guidance of a team of physiotherapists. ​Marie, has a passion is for safe dance training and PBT is supported by numerous professional dancers and ballet company directors across the world.

PBT strengthens students while developing an understanding of the depth of training muscle memory in order to achieve their personal best in classical ballet. Students use equipment such as yoga balls, soft balls and exercise bands in PBT classes.  

Our PBT classes are taught by fully certified, Level 3 PBT teacher, Miss Johanna
We provide a nurturing environment in which students with a love for dance are encouraged to reach their potential.

''I loved every minute being taught by Ms Lomas and Miss Johanna. Their guidance and support made me ready to successfully audition for the performances with professional ballet companies and for my next steps to fulfil my dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer by gaining a place at a vocational dance school''.

– ​Emily Teixeira, 12

Limbering/Body Conditioning

Picture

Our highly-popular Limbering classes are great fun and very rewarding! These classes make a stronger, more flexible dancer, and works excellently alongside ballet, gymnastics and skate training. 

The class includes mat-based exercises derived from Pilates and yoga for general body conditioning and parterre gymnastics (Bolshoi-style stretch and conditioning class).

Please note that this is an add-on class only. We cannot accept students solely into our Limbering/Body Conditioning class – they must also take an online ballet class with us.

Private Classes

Picture
Private classes can be tailored to suit the individual's needs of a dancer, skater or gymnast – including working on elements such as ballet technique, stretch, body conditioning, developing artistry, or preparation for gymnasts and skaters with competition routines.


£35.00 for 1 hour
​£18.00 for 30 minutes
As an online school, we work hard to build a community atmosphere throughout all of our classes. Dancers are not 'just a number' in an unlimited-sized online class where it doesn't matter if progress is made or not. Nor are our online classes taken as a hybrid class, with students streaming along, forgotten about, in the background of a face-to-face class.
Each of our online classes are a purely online class. We place strict limits on class sizes. Just like a face-to-face class, we work to develop the individual skills of the dancer, providing live feedback throughout the classes. We get to know each of our online dancers, their families (and often, pets!) and welcome everyone into our global community.

My 14 year old daughter has been dancing since she was 5 years old. She has been a pupil with Janet Lomas School of Dancing for the last 4 years having been a member of a different dance school in the local area. Over these 4 years the confidence, discipline and poise Lily displays has grown immensely due to being a pupil with Miss Johanna. 
It is lovely to see and the performance skills she has developed has helped her with her additional musical theatre performances.  My daughter enjoys her classes immensely and looks forward to learning technique with Miss Johanna.
A lovely teacher, very understanding and very talented.
​

– Lyndsey- Parent of Lily
