Pre-Primary Ballet

Information for boys & girls over 6 years

Please note: if you are enquiring for more than one child, you will need to complete and submit separate forms for each child.

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).
