We use a fresh approach to ballet whilst retaining all the discipline and technique of traditional ballet. We are delighted to introduce our students to the option to enhance their classical technique training and ballet performance. We begin by offering the beautiful APDA Ballet syllabus (we may look into also offering the RAD syllabus in the future depending on teachers and certification). Ballet is the most fundamental first stepping stone for any child who loves to dance!
