The Dance Program

The program is designed to give the dedicated ballet student an opportunity to build upon classical technique, to increase strength and stamina and also to broaden one's knowledge and experience in other areas of the art of dance.

Each pupil will come away with a smile of confidence and a greater understancing of how the structure of classical ballet can hold the key to the freedom of dance.

Classes are small and every student has a chance to be individually known, to shine and enjoy him or herself completely
