Ballet Know for its beauty and grace, ballet is actually the foundation of all dance methods. Besides being beautiful and graceful, ballet can be powerful with lifts and jumps. Whether the movements are quick or slow and controlled, ballet is a dance method that develops strength, flexibility and elevation while helping the student to build confidence in their movements.

The pupils follow the Cecchetti ballet syllabus from Primary level to Advanced. Most children take an examination once every 12-18 months and we work on syllabus as well as show and display work during this time. The teaching staff use their professional judgment and experience to decide when a child should be entered for an examination. At the same time, they need parental support to ensure that pupils do not miss any classes and that they are encouraged to practice at home. The Primary Exam is the first examination for the children and once they achieve this they can then progress on to another level.

The Dancin’ Dots is a fantastic beginning to any young “performer” or to help instill more confidence in the shyer child and is a great preparation for when they reach Primary level and can take their first exam.
