Ballet Dancing

The art of Ballet dancing is a fantastic way of developing great posture, gracefulness, elegance and poise. The dance originated in the Italian Renaissance courts during the 15th century as an interpretation of the sport fencing. Over the years it has been developed into many different styles including the popular classical ballet which has a beautiful and traditional technique. Our head of Performing Arts Sarah-Jayne is fully qualified to teach the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus which is the most renowned school of Classical Ballet, established in London, 1920.

Children’s Ballet Classes

Our Children’s Ballet classes follow the RAD syllabus with great passion and enthusiasm, with the chance to par take in examinations, local dance festivals and many have just successfully auditioned for parts in the pantomine Cindarella at Poole lighthouse this Christmas! Children start on our Baby Ballet classes at the age of 2 and half years where Sarah-Jayne teaches our little stars with such wonderful imagination and enthusiasm that they grow with confidence and elegance and love coming to Ballet each week! Our students are taken right through to vocational grades for professional dancers, many of whom go on to have lucrative stage careers and attend dance collages. Many of our pupils also join in simply for fun and the love of dancing!
