Toddlers

Age: 2.5 to 4 years old

Pre-Primary

Age: 4 to 5.5 years old

Our classes form a great tool to support a strong cognitive and psycho-motor development in children of this age. Structured on the respected Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus, our classes have the originality of added nursery and original songs. In addition to learning the ballet basics such as 1st position, turn out and steps such as skipping, jumping and galloping, our classes follow a story trail, thus encouraging children to develop their imagination and musicality, bringing them gently into the discipline of classical ballet. Props also play an integral part of our classes at this level with the use of scarves, batons, flag etc. As musical development plays a big part in early dance training, all our classes for this age group are accompanied by experienced pianists. If you're interested in exploring our method of teaching for this age group in more details, we recommend checking out “MyBallet Method” by Lydie Schrepfer; due to come up by the end of the year.

Primary

Age: 5 to 7 years old

Our Primary class encourages self-discipline and self-expression, developing listening skills, encouraging children to follow instruction, learning to work as an individual and in a group. It develops co-ordination, good posture, strength and flexibility. Our ballet class provides a nurturing environment for development of artistry and musical appreciation too! From this age, we want our Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) based classes to stay imaginative, guiding children through the demands of classical technique with constant encouragement and inspiration. In keeping with the quality of our tuition for younger children’s classes are also accompanied by experienced pianists.
