Graded dance classes are perfect for dancers wanting a strong foundation in technique. All graded qualifications hold credits and are equivalent to GCSE and A-Level at the higher levels.

 

Ballet is a highly technical form of dance and has been globally influential defining the foundations and techniques used in many other dance genres making it an essential genre for every dancer.

 

During this class students will learn Classical Ballet technique, placement, line, musicality and how to apply these skills to the graded Ballet exercises as well as to dance in general. Students will quickly build on their vocabulary of key steps through a Classical Ballet structure including barre work, adage, petit allegro, pirouette and grand allegro which all contain essential steps for any style of dance.

 

Students will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test and enter a Royal Academy of Dance examination before moving up to the next grade. R.A.D certifications are globally recognised qualifications and carry UCAS points at the higher grades. Please visit the R.A.D website for more information.

 

HOT TIP

Combine your Ballet Dance class with Modern Dance to maximize performance, technique, musicality and versatility.
