Each student is nurtured with care, precision, and inspiration, fostering not only strong dancers, but a deep and lasting love for the art of ballet.
For general enquiries and pricing, you are welcome to contact us.
Pre-School
Our Pre-School Ballet classes are designed for children aged 2 ½ to 4 years old. At this joyful and imaginative stage, the focus is on building confidence, coordination, and musicality within a nurturing class environment. Through storytelling, music, and creative movement, young dancers are gently introduced to the foundations of classical ballet while exploring the magic of dance.
Pre-Primary
Our Pre-Primary Ballet classes offer a natural progression from the Pre-School stage, introducing greater structure while continuing to nurture each child’s sense of rhythm, physical control, and spatial awareness. This level gently develops the discipline and expressive qualities essential for a confident transition into Level 1 training.

Level 1-2-3
Levels 1 to 3 guide students through the core vocabulary of classical ballet, encouraging independence in learning and refinement of technique. As they grow in confidence and expression, students begin to cultivate stage presence and performance skills, laying the groundwork for future artistic development.
Level 4-5-6
Levels 4 to 6 build on the strong foundations of earlier training, guiding students toward greater technical precision, expressive performance, and confident artistry, with a growing emphasis on musicality and communication; as these levels are currently in preparation, we invite those interested to contact us directly for more information.
ATAP - The Royal Ballet School
The ATAP programme is designed for students seeking a more formal and enriching ballet education, with the opportunity to be assessed and certified by The Royal Ballet School. It offers structured development of classical vocabulary, body awareness, and creative artistry. This pathway not only refines technical and expressive skills but also provides an excellent foundation for those aspiring to progress toward vocational training.
