Classical Ballet

Classical Ballet

Classical classes are offered from Pre-Primary level (approximately 4yr olds) to Advanced Level, Classical is a disciplined class helping with posture, strength, flexibility, control, grace an becoming a more polished dancer and is an important grounding for all styles of dance.  Classical ballet can be done once a week for enjoyment or taken more seriously with the intentions of exams/competition work.  We follow two streams of Classical Ballet.  The RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) and CSTD (The Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing).

Pointe work begins in Grade 5 RAD Level and is an extension of all Major Ballet classes.   Pointe work requires a lot of strength in the feet, ankles, legs and body but when done correctly is beautiful to watch and rewarding to do.
