FROM DANCING DOTS TO PRE PROFESSIONAL AGES 2+
Dancing Dots and Pre School classes introduce classical ballet in a fun and encouraging way through the use of props, games and music. Through classical ballet movement we enhance their fine motorskills and develop co-ordination and strength as well as boosting confidence and social interaction.
From age 5+ we follow the Royal Academy of Dance Examination Syllabus. The RAD offers an internationally-recognised portfolio of examinations and assessments designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities, outlining a progressive structure for learning and achievement in dance. We offer both Higher Grades and Major examinations and encourage all ages and abilities to dance.
- As well as offering Syllabus work our students are involved in Open ballet and open Pointe classes
- Progressing Ballet Technique - a pilates based system to develop strength and conditioning
- Yoga Repertoire - both senior and junior
