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!

September 2009 will see the launch of our Ballet classes. We'll be teaching fun and imaginative Pre-School classes, Pre Primary, Primary and Grade 1 classes, with higher grades to come as demand grows and the school expands. All classes will follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet syllabus. The RAD is one of the world's largest and most influential dance training organisations.
