Ballet is a classical and graceful dance style that focuses on technique, posture and story-telling. 

Ballet Beginners (3 - 5 yrs)

The main focus is the development of a sense of rhythm, flexibility and strength, with an emphasis on strengthening the core muscles of the spine, stomach and feet. This is combined with a strong focus on improvisation to classical music as well as developing the initial positions of the arms and legs, dance steps, jumps and poses.

Work on the development of musicality and grace in the performance of ballet movements. Strengthening of the feet, posture and turnout is also emphasized, as well as developing new ballet movements on the floor, at the barre and in dances.

Our classes provide a fun start for children wishing to experience the joy of dance in a creative and structured environment.

As with all our classes, the emphasis is on inspiring the young dancer to fulfil his or her potential.

In practice, they will dance individually as well as in pairs and in groups. We will introduce a bit of structured learning to aid them in progressing into the preparatory grades.

Level 1 builds on children's key motor skills and establishes the fundamentals of musicality, movement and creativity. Students are encouraged to develop their imagination and communication skills, helping them to build confidence. Music and rhythm are a central focus of this class.
