Taught live on Zoom, our live weekly adult online ballet classes are the perfect class for complete beginners to those with prevoius ballet experience.
Adult ballet classes can help with posture, mobility, flexibility, strength and muscle tone, which is beneficial for adults of all ages. Our adult ballet classes work on developing ballet technique with high-quality tuition from a fully-qualified classical ballet teacher. We also work closely with adult sportspeople who use our online classes to enhance their sports training. Our weekly adult ballet classes run in term time on Zoom. Don't worry if you have to miss a class as you'll receive a recording afterwards (although participation in the live class is strongly encouraged). You can join in our weekly adult ballet classes from anywhere in the world. Please see the bottom of this page for our Adult Ballet FAQs. |

FAQs
|
What will I need for online adult ballet classes?
Before joining any session, please check that you have lots of space and that it is clear of any obstacles. Please also check that your flooring is suitable. Classes are hosted using Zoom – upon enrolling for our online classes, we email over instructions to help you get set up, and can talk you through if you have any difficulties. What should I wear for classes? Participants can wear anything they can easily move around in (no denim) for classes. You are not forced to wear a leotard if you don't want to! However, there are many beautiful styles of leotards and skirts that are available if you wish to really get more of a ballet feel for your classes. Flat ballet shoes are recommended (whole sole or split sole, leather or canvas are best). No pointe or soft pointe shoes. If you are unsure, please feel free to email us. Hair must be securely tied back and no jewellery. |
I am a beginner – can I join your classes?
As we do not recommend our weekly Zoom class for complete beginners, we regularly run a four-week online beginner adult ballet course. Upon completion of this course, you will have enough knowledge of steps and positions to join our weekly Zoom classes.
What type of adult ballet classes are these?
Our adult ballet sessions are traditional classical ballet classes. They are not barre fit exercise classes.
Can I join in if I'm in another country?
Our international classes are open to anyone from anywhere, so please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Classes are taught in English, however we are experienced with teaching dancers where English is not their first language.
Are your online classes hybrid classes (i.e. a face-to-face class that is being live streamed)?
Our online classes are taught as a purely online classes. This means that all the participants in the online class have the full attention of the teacher. Our adult ballet students are not 'just a number' in an unlimited-sized online class where the teacher doesn't even know the students names. 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.
We work hard to build a community atmosphere throughout all of our classes – we get to know each of our online dancers (and often their pets and family, too!) and welcome everyone into our global community. Plus, we also host online social events for our adults and Silver Swans!
Can I join in the class with my camera switched off?
We ask for participants to have their camera on at all times during the class. This is important for safety so that the teacher can check that the steps are being performed safely and correctly. It also makes a much more friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all participants if cameras are switched on.
What ages are in the adult ballet class and how many are in a class?
We place a strict limit on our online class sizes to ensure that the teacher can see all participants in the group. Our adult ballet classes are for ages 18-55. If you are aged 55+, then we have a range of Silver Swans® classes that you can join (beginners to advanced classes are available).
What happens if I miss a class?
If you miss a class, you will receive a recording of the class for you to access at your convenience.
Do you do pointe work?
We do not offer pointe work in our online adult ballet classes.
