Ballet

Our ballet classes follow the RAD syllabus and start with our Tiny Tot classes which follow the "Dance to Your Own Tune" syllabus. Students move onto Pre-Primary and Primary levels before moving onto Graded and  later Vocational levels.

​

  • Graded syllabus: Grade 1 to Grade 8 incorporates classical ballet including barre, centre practice, pirouettes, allegro and two dances; one of which is character, as seen in the great classical ballets.

  • Vocational Graded Syllabus: This develops the technique, music and performance skills of the older ballet student to an advanced level, preparing them for a dance or dance-related career.

​

Modern Theatre Jazz & Tap

These classes follow the ISTD syllabus starting with Pre-Primary Tap and Primary Modern moving on through to Grade 6, followed by the Vocational Grades - Inter Foundation & Intermediate. 

  • Modern Graded syllabus: Grade 1 to Grade 6 includes warm-up, stretching and strengthening, dance movements and a dance.

  • Tap Graded syllabus: Grade 1 to Grade 6 include warm-up, technical exercises, timesteps, combinations and a dance.
