Ballet
Preschool Ballet
From the age of 2 1/2 the children are taught using themes and stories to learn basic dance movements through imaginative play. This builds up confidence, improves coordination and helps with social skills. Musical instruments and props are also used. As the class becomes more structured, the pupils develop their creative skills through ballet, mime and improvisation.

When the children are 5 years old they move into the Pre-Primary class and begin to follow the RAD syllabus. These classes are a mixture of ballet, free movement and mime.
