Classical Ballet

Pre-Ballet I and II in Dance help little ones to recognize that all parts of their body are included in ballet. This is important because it helps build their awareness of space, movement, and details. All the things we want our more mature dancers to understand and respect. 

Pre-Primary in Dance and Primary in Dance develops students’ physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression, and musicality using a range of sounds and musical styles.

The knowledge and skills gained through successful completion of these levels provide a basis for progression to subsequent examinations in ballet and other dance genres (grades 1-8 and vocational grades).

Following on from Primary in Dance, the knowledge and skills gained through completion of these qualifications provide a base for subsequent graded examinations, solo performance awards, and vocational graded examinations in dance offered by the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance), as well as similar qualifications in a range of genres offered by other awarding organisations.

Achievement in dance contributes to the development of a wide range of competencies and life skills, such as motor control, health, and safety awareness, self-expression, physical fitness and stamina, discipline, mental ability, and confidence.

Following on from Grades 1-3, the knowledge and skills gained through completion of these qualifications provide a base for subsequent graded examinations, solo performance awards, and vocational graded examinations in dance offered by the RAD, as well as similar qualifications in a range of genres offered by other awarding organisations. Achievement in dance contributes to the development of a wide range of competencies and life-skills such as motor control, health, and safety awareness, self-expression, physical fitness and stamina, discipline, mental ability, and confidence.

Following on from Grades 4-5, the knowledge and skills gained through completion of these levels provide a basis for continuing personal development, lifelong learning, and further and higher education opportunities. They also help to prepare candidates for RAD vocational graded examinations, and for vocational graded examinations in a range of dance genres offered by other awarding organisations.
