Classes
Baby Ballet
The Baby Ballet curriculum is designed for young dancers to begin exploring the art of dance through exposure to ballet steps, musicality, and self-expression. Students will be immersed into the beauty of ballet during weekly classes with our Royal Academy of Dance certified faculty. Class curriculums encourage the development of skills such as muscle strength, coordination and focus, all while providing a safe environment for children to blossom and enjoy artistic expression. Students are required to commit to one class per week. Upon completion, students will be equipped for entry into the Royal Academy of Dance Pre-Primary In Dance and Primary In Dance levels where they will continue their training and begin preparations for the annual graded examinations, intensive training, or other after school programs.

Graded Examinations
Grades 1 through to 8 encourage the development of an appropriate and sound technique relevant for the ballet world of today. The syllabus identifies the necessary skills that underpin secure technique such as core stability, weight placement, turnout and line, while continuing to recognise and reward the student’s awareness of artistry and dynamics. Musically inspired exercises and dances promote joy in movement, creative interpretation, and a sense of dance and performance quality. They incorporate Classical Ballet, Free Movement and Character. They also constitute a preparation for the RAD Vocational Syllabus.
