Course outline

What is the course about?

This class is ideal if you have completed beginner’s classical ballet or an equivalent and are looking to progress further within a relaxed class enviroment. Each week practical sessions will develop your existing skills as well as introducing you to new vocabulary along the way.

What topics will we cover?

Class work will take the form of a traditional ballet class incorporating barre work, centre practice (port de bras, adage, pirouette and allegro) and as students and the classes progress, classical enchainement (routines).

By the end of this course you should be able to:

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
