Contemporary/Jazz Dance Class

This is an exciting NEW class aimed at 13 - 17 year olds. The hour-long session introduces students to the basic style and movement of both contemporary and jazz dance. The class begins with a 'warm up' following by a series of stylised exercise and concludes with a dance routine, which will be built on week by week. Although some basic dance knowledge is helpful, it is not compulsory. Just come with lots of energy and enthusiasm, comfy clothes and bare feet.

Baby Ballet

These are classes for children aged from 3 to 4 years. They last for 30 minutes and are designed to introduce basic ballet knowledge through movement, storytelling, mime and music.

Pre-primary and Primary Ballet

These are classes for children aged from 5 to 6 years. They last for 40 minutes and children have progressed to being able to perform simple exercises, mimes and dances, and are developing a sense of musical appreciation. Children may be entered for examinations (Imperial Ballet Method) from aged 5 years upwards, though this is optional.

 

Level I-8 Class Tests/Grades

These are classes for children aged from 7 years and upwards, and are for preparing the more serious pupil for annual examinations. Children may start ballet at any age and are able to join at appropriate levels.
