Classical Ballet

The Classical Ballet Syllabus is a comprehensive training system from Pre-Grades to teaching qualifications. Printed music, CDs and videotapes are available to members

Pre Ballet

Pre-Ballet is the Foundation of Technique and prepares students for the work in the Grades. Children also learn to mime, which develops into self-expression. It is an introduction to the examination room in the form of a performance test and to build confidence in the child.

Primary Ballet

Primary is the Development of Technique. Here children learn to listen and to recognize different rhythms in music, which will develop into musicality in their dancing. It gives them the ability to feel the movement and to dance with freedom and enjoyment.
