Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of all dance. We follow the ISTD syllabus, focusing on the development of technique, posture, strength, flexibility and coordination. Students progress through the grades, with an option to complete ISTD exams. This class is an excellent way for students to be introduced to the many benefits of dance whilst gaining self-confidence and musicality.

Pre-Pointe and Pointe

Develops and strengthens the muscles necessary to go on Pointe, focusing on correct alignment and correct classical ballet technique. This class also focuses on correct terminology not only for the body but also for the shoe. Once progressed to pointe, the dancer continues with the development of strength and technique exercises to master a more advanced level of skill and pointe work.

Lyrical

Lyrical combines elements of ballet and jazz to create a soft style that enables the dancer to tell the story behind the music. The dance is usually performed to music with lyrics which inspire the movements of the dancer and particular focus on facial expression.
