Why take ballet dance classes?

Classical ballet is the foundation from which nearly all dance styles have developed and it has a big influence on all the training we offer at DN Dance.

Ballet requires strong technique, athleticism, poise, balance and precision. It demands an almost invisible strength, where physically challenging moves and sequences are made to look effortless and graceful.

Taking ballet class will improve your abilities in almost every other style of dance you take. Not to mention, it’s a great  way to keep fit and stay physically and mentally healthy.

We teach the RAD Ballet Ballet Syllabus, along with Pointe, and other classes that support the development of strong ballet technique.

RAD Ballet

Primary to Advanced

The internationally recognised Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, builds strong classical technique while developing posture, coordination, musicality and performance skills.

Perfect for dancers aged 5 and up, this class is an ideal pathway for those dancing for fun and those aiming for a future in performing arts.

Ballet Tech

Free Syllabus

Our Ballet Tech classes complement syllabus training by focusing on detailed technique and precision.

Perfect for any aspiring ballerina, these sessions help develop core skills through focused practice. Repetition builds mastery, so no matter your goals, extra technique training accelerates your progress.

PBT

Progressing Ballet Technique

PBT is a specialised syllabus that strengthens and conditions the body to improve ballet technique.

Like Pilates, it teaches students to engage the right muscles, maintain correct alignment, and execute movements with greater precision and control.

Pointe

Vocational Only

Pointe is the pinnacle of ballet, where students dance gracefully on their tiptoes in Pointe shoes. The focus is on learning exercises safely, with correct alignment and control.

Students wishing to study Pointe should must take the vocational ballet grades, Intermediate Foundation or higher, alongside Ballet Tech and PBT classes.
