Ballet 3 & 4 yrs
Ballet for 3 & 4 yrs is for pre-school children, who are due to start Reception in September the following year. This is a beautiful and imaginative class which aims to encourage our Baby Ballerina’s to express themselves through movement and dance. Children will learn how to interpret ballet stories to wonderful musical scores. This fun class introduces the early foundations of ballet technique, ballet discipline and encourages independent learning. Parents are invited to watch their child in a class presentation at the end of each term.

Ballet Transition/Pre Primary for Reception Year
This class is for children who have started School/Reception/Kindergarten. We call this class ‘Transition’; providing a transition from Baby Ballet to learning ‘real ballet’. Our Transition class is a big ‘step up’ from our pre-school programme, and we are aware that our week day pupils are adapting to a full day at school so we keep the atmosphere FUN by applying a range of ballet themes, games and concepts, whilst learning the foundations of ballet technique, strengthening exercises, and gentle ballet stretching. Parents are invited to watch a class presentation at the end of each term.

Standard 1 Ballet
This class is is designed for children in Year 2 & 3. Our Ballet classes for Standard 1 aim to provide a safe, structured, challenging programme which will inspire and encourage children. Our ballet Syllabus which is founded on the Cecchetti Method focuses on developing ballet technique, knowledge of movement vocabularly, creativity, artistic and musical appreciation.
Particular focus is spent on developing pupils’ posture; correct alignment and placement and understanding of ‘how muscles work’ and how they can be used to develop strenth and control. Pupils learn how to use their body to make beautiful ‘lines’ and how to appreciate artistry, both in their own movement and that of others. Our children learn about ballet culture and become confident, considerate, repectful and proud of their understanding and knowledge of ballet discipline.
Parents are invited to a class presentation at the end of each term.
