Pre-Primary Ballet (ages 3-5)
Our mission is to bring the physical, mental and emotional benefits of dance to everyone, allowing children to develop confidence and self-expression through imaginative dance choreography. Term ends with a free Christmas Party on Sat 12th December!
Classes are held weekly during state school term times. Children will learn simple positions and dance movements with mime and stories to prepare them for more advanced dance classes when they reach the right stage of physical development.
We aim to move them into our ISTD syllabus classes (which isn't to say we only teach syllabus work)! Boys usually enjoy the class as much as girls as they usually have lots of energy at this age - if your pre-schooler has an abundance of energy, dance is a great way to channel it! There are free trial classes and our policy is not to formally enrol or charge anyone until your child is fully engaged. It can be daunting for children this age to come to a new place, with new classmates, teacher and activity, and often children will want to watch for a few minutes (or weeks), before joining in. It's worth persevering as shy children will still enjoy dance when they gain confidence. (I was one of those children). A third sibling learns for free.
