Private evaluation class for new students
|
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. 30 minutes – £20
|
Our online classes are paid for like a traditional dance school – a straightforward block payment that reserves your place in the live online class, with no difficult recurring subscriptions
Classical Ballet
Non-syllabus ballet
|
Prices start from £5.00 a class
Non-syllabus ballet classes secure excellent classical ballet technique, artistry and musicality while providing students with a well-rounded ballet education. We offer multiple non-syllabus ballet classes each week, catering for different levels of experience – in the Junior classes, this ranges from the first introductions of a formal ballet class structure, through to more advanced classes that prepare for transition into our Senior department. 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, and improve knowledge of ballet vocabulary.
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.

Progressing Ballet Technique®
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 online PBT classes are taught by a Level 3 PBT qualified tutor. This is the highest level of tutor in Progressing Ballet Technique®, two levels above the base PBT qualified teacher status. Did you know? We also offer PBT for adults, too! Find out more here
Stretch & Conditioning
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
|
Private class fees start from £20 for 30 minutes
Private classes can be tailored to suit an individual's needs and time zones in a 1-1 environment. Private classes can be structured to each individual dancer's needs – working on elements such as classical ballet technique, flexibility, body conditioning, developing artistry, or preparation for gymnasts and skaters with competition routines. We can also offer training for ballet exams in private classes (ISTD and JR Classical exams). We support dancers of all ages across the world in our private ballet classes, with lessons available in the daytime or evening. |
All our private class tutors are fully qualified ballet teachers – however, all of our teachers are trained beyond a basic teaching qualification (Level 4 Diploma), and all hold their Licentiate level ballet teaching qualification (Level 6 Diploma). This means that our teachers have reached a high vocational level in ballet themselves and, importantly, have also extensively studied pedagogy to an advanced level with world-renowned international teaching associations of the Royal Academy of Dance and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. Fully qualified teachers have to maintain a high standard and quality of teaching, follow safe dance practice, have a clear DBS check, and complete annual CPD requirements to maintain and update their knowledge. This means that classes are detailed, carefully planned, and you can be sure that you are receiving the highest quality tuition.
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 daughter has now been with Janet Lomas School of Dancing since last summer. Whilst having attended ballet lessons for a number of years her progress had stagnated and we were concerned that she may lose her enthusiam for dance. Having attended a trial session with Miss Johanna I was completely reassured that this was the school for us. It became apparent that our previous dance experience was more of an activity rather than a lesson in ballet, and whilst my daughter had always enjoyed her lessons I was confident that she would continue to be challenged and improve with her new school. As her skills have developed we were given the opportunity to attend additional lessons including limbering which really have made impressive improvements to her overall strength, flexibility and fitness.
