Beginner Ballet

The perfect first step into ballet. Our beginner classes introduce young dancers to the foundations of technique, posture, and musicality in a fun, structured, and encouraging environment.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Where every dancer begins

Designed for dancers aged 5–7 with little or no prior experience, this class introduces the building blocks of ballet — posture, coordination, balance, and basic technique/steps — all through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus. Classes are playful and supportive, helping young dancers build confidence while developing a genuine love of movement. We offer sessional classes for dancers who love to move without a perfromance requirment. While our Pre-Primary and Primary dancer performs in our year-end recital, a proud milestone for dancers and families alike.
