BALLET
Babies Ballet for 2-3 year olds
Each week we will use the same warm up to help develop the skills required for graded work. It will include some basic ballet exercises such as "Good Toes", plies and points, gallops and bounces, all of which will build into jumps and hopping, eventually encouraging them to skip. Each term we will have a choreographed dance we work on every week as well as two prop exercises that will encourage rhythm, coordination and musicality .
Uniform:
The uniform is a pink tutu, pink tights and ballet shoes.
All ballet shoes though must be purchased through Bexx so they are fitted correctly.

ISTD Ballet Lessons
We also offer ISTD ballet lessons for all school age children, this lesson will be more structured with syllabus work from the grades and the children will work towards taking their exams if they wish and are ready.
Our ballet classes offer a solid base for all dance disciplines. Ballet helps develop long, lean and strong muscles whilst gaining coordination, balance, strength and flexibility.
Throughout the term we work towards reaching exam goals and being confident in each exercise. Using the process of memorising each movement in sequences, concentration, memory and cognitive skills. These can all be used in other lessons within dance and school.
