We have classes for pre-school children, school-aged children, teens and adults. We welcome boys and girls, women and men and try to have a class to suit everyone – and no you don’t need to have done ballet before!
Which class at a glance . . .
If you have a child starting ballet for the first time, take a look at the following chart to see the class suitable for them. We may give children new to dance an introduction in a lower class for a short time so that they feel comfortable joining at their age level. If your early years child is nervous about joining on their own, come along to our fun parent and child class, First Steps Ballet. In the case of older students, or students with previous ballet learning in a different syllabus, we would recommend calling us to discuss suitable classes. We know that each and every child grows, develops and masters new skills at different rates so please be assured that we will monitor each new student to be sure they are happy in their class.
