Primary to Advanced 2

The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance Imperial Classical Ballet syllabus is taught. Emphasis is on understanding correct technique and attaining maximum personal levels of achievement relative to ones own physique. Line and quality of movement are strived for and, especially in the lower grades, we encourage freedom of expression through dance. As all dance forms 'feed' into one another, from Primary level we recommend that children also learn tap and modern to enhance their learning in ballet. From Grade 1 ballet, it is compulsory for children to take two ballet classes per week in order to reach the required standard for examinations. From Grade 4 ballet, it is compulsory for students to take body conditioning classes to develop the necessary strength and flexibility for the higher grades.
