Strengthen your ballet technique and take your movement further

Ballet Classes - Elementary/Intermediate

Ballet Classes - Elementary/Intermediate

Our Elementary/Intermediate Ballet Classes are suitable for those who have completed our Ballet Improvers course or equivalent elsewhere, and have a solid classical technique. Your ballet technique will be taken to the next level by finding space in the body to let go of tension and fully enjoy the experience of dancing gracefully.

Time at the barre will be spent examining the dynamic and technique of the exercises in preparation for the remainder of the class. Centre practice will focus on stationary, turning and travelling exercises moving on to jumps, beats and grande allegro combinations. Throughout each ballet class you will concentrate on personal expression and develop the ability to dance alone and in unison.

This is our most advanced ballet course and is suitable for those with solid classical technique. This course will add classical elements as adagio, petit allegro, pirouettes, grand allegro, and advanced port de bras and epaulement.

You will strengthen your classical ballet technique, learn more complex sequences and steps, and gain confidence to dance in smaller groups with the opportunity for solos.
