An introduction to ballet; teaching basic ballet techniques, terminology and positions.

Classes rotate regularly to keep the class inspiring, fresh and to provoke further development. Imagination and playful learning through creative movement and use of props is included. The focus of this class is to build motor skills, develop an understanding of rhythm, and stimulate creative expression.

Each week students practise exercises and routines which are showcased to grown-ups on the last week of each term in a 'Show of work'. 'Ballerina Buddy' our mascot Ballet bear chooses a 'Star of the Week' each week to encourage and recognise hard work.

For the first session students can wear clothes they can easily move in such as a T-shirt and leggings. If students do not have ballet shoes for their first trial class they can wear bare foot or gripped socks. Students can bring a bottle of water with them.

This is a drop off and go class so children can concentrate on their class without distraction, grown ups are then invited to watch the sessions at the end of terms.
