Pre-Primary Ballet classes are for children from school Reception age.
Children learn basic classical technique, focusing on turnout, extension of the feet and legs, posture and placement. There is also an emphasis on achieving correct musical timing and developing a sense of performance, especially in Pre-Primary (I) where we follow the stories of some famous ballets. Children also learn tap & modern alongside Pre-Primary ballet. After Pre-Primary ballet (II), children move into Primary ballet (I) in which they learn the basic skills needed for their first ballet examination (Primary Grade).
Pre-Primary Ballet Class Times Please refer to our timetable for class days and times for the various levels of Pre-Primary ballet, also for Pre-Primary / Primary tap and Primary / Grade 1 modern. It is compulsory for Saturday children to learn all three genres alongside each other, whereas weekday children can learn solely ballet:► Class Times
