Ballet

In our Ballet classes we teach the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) method.

The Royal Academy of Dance is the largest examining and teacher-education organization for classical ballet in the world. With over 17,000 members, its influence has spread to over 84 countries and it has a network of international offices and representatives. Her Majesty the Queen is Patron of the Academy and Dame Antoinette Sibley, C.B.E. is the President.

The standards of education are extremely high and regular monitoring and training of teachers is neccessary to ensure that quality of education is maintained.

Character dance is incorporated in Ballet classes.

The carefully designed syllabus benefits the recreational as well as professionally-oriented student. Experienced students are entered for yearly examinations at the grade and major levels.

Starts from Age 3
