Ballet 

Essential foundations for strong and beautiful dancers.

Ballet is a discipline for not only the body but the mind. 

Baby ballet introduces basic movement, and we continue to build upon this by following the IDTA syllabus and everyone will have the opportunity to take exams. After years of training and dedication students will have the opportunity to train for pointe shoes. (There are many factors involved in making the decision for a when a dancer is ready for pointe work, the class teacher will take these in to consideration and the decision will be at their discretion) 

Ballet training will be an asset for life.
