Professional Training Program (PTP)

Our Professional Training Program offers progressive classical ballet study for young dancers who want to develop strong technique, musicality and artistic expression. Classes build from preparatory foundations to more advanced work, with expectations appropriate to each level.

PTP 2 · Developing Technique ·

Ages 10–11

Students continue to develop their barre and centre work, with more varied jumping combinations and greater attention to balance and coordination. Demi-pointe work—rising onto the balls of the feet—supports control and stability. Pointe preparation and progression are considered individually, in relation to readiness and training experience.

PTP 3 · Intermediate Development · Ages 12–14

Dancers refine their technique, balance and coordination through more developed centre work and increasingly demanding combinations. Artistic expression and musical phrasing receive greater attention. For students assessed as ready, pointe work progresses alongside their classical training.

Conditioning for Ballet

Conditioning supports the strength, coordination and body awareness needed in ballet. Classes use floor-barre and exercise-ball work, with attention to alignment, control and the effective use of each dancer’s available turnout.

Conditioning is an integral part of the Professional Training Program and is required for enrolled PTP students.
