A Practice to Enjoy

Ballet offers the pleasure of moving to music, learning new skills and developing your own artistic expression. You can enjoy that process while working towards goals that are meaningful to you.

Understanding Your Movement

Clear demonstrations and practical explanations help you understand how a movement works and how to practise it. We pay attention to alignment, coordination and gradual progression, making technical ideas approachable while respecting differences in experience and physical preparation.

Beginner Ballet

For adults who are new to ballet or want to revisit the foundations. Learn basic positions, alignment and musical timing through clearly demonstrated exercises. Classes include introductory floor and barre work, simple centre combinations and jumping exercises suited to the group. You do not need to know ballet terminology before starting; it is explained as you learn.

Intermediate Ballet

For adults with a foundation in ballet who are ready to develop their coordination and technique further. Classes build on barre and centre work with more varied turning and jumping combinations, demi-pointe work and port de bras—the coordinated movement of the arms.

Advanced Ballet

For experienced adults seeking a more demanding class. Dancers refine balance, control and musical phrasing through complex barre and centre combinations, turns and grand allegro—larger travelling jumps.

Technique in the Service of Art

We study technique so that movement becomes more expressive, musical and confident. Every class is an opportunity to develop both skill and artistry.

Professional-Level Adult Ballet

A class for dancers with substantial classical training who can work confidently with advanced combinations and repertoire. Pointe work is included where appropriate to the class and the dancer’s preparation.
