With classes suitable for ages 3 to 18, we can offer a fun introduction to ballet for Pre-school children through to Major Classical classes including Pointe Work for our older dancers.
For ages 3 and 4 – Visit our “Magic Cupboard” and walk like a princess, march like a soldier, point your toes, jump and twirl.
For ages 5 and 6 – Move on to our Royal Academy of Dance Pre-Primary and Primary in Dance classes and use feathers, scarves, pom-poms and marraccas to help you learn the ballet basics.
For older dancers – There are RAD classical ballet classes from Grade 1 up to the final Grade 8 Performance Award. These classes include barre and centre work, Free Movement and Character (National) Dance.
For the serious ballet student – We also offer RAD Ballet Majors from around age 11, allowing students to start Pointe Work when ready. You will need to work at this level if you are thinking of applying to full-time vocational Dance College when you leave school or to study for a Degree in Dance at University.
Our students enter for examinations set by the Royal Academy of Dance, one of the largest ballet examining boards in the UK. From age 8 there is the opportunity to take part in our regular productions at the Capitol Theatre in Horsham and also entertain the local community at special events.
