Ballet Classes at CentreStage Theatre School Milton Keynes

Ballet

BALLET CLASSES

Ballet is a wonderful way to improve physical fitness and strength. In children it helps to aid their spatial awareness. It stimulates their listening skills, enhances their appreciation of music and builds their confidence. Children love to express themselves through dance and ballet is a joyous way to encourage expressive movement. Along the way, they may even make new friends!

We currently teach fun and imaginative Pre-School classes, Pre Primary, Primary, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 classes. All classes follow the syllabii of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD). The RAD is one of the world's largest and most influential dance training organisations.
