Academy Programme
We accept children into our recreational classes from the age of 3. Weekly classes cover ballet technique and our specialist Essential Skills programme. This excellent programme develops skills essential for ballet and fundamental to contemporary/lyrical dance and acrobatic dance.
Most children attend a once a week class throughout their training, dedicated dancers audition to join our Advanced Training Programme to start more intensive training.
We encourage all children on our Recreational Programme to take exams, as it solidifies learning and
gives a sense of achievement.
