Ballet Dance Classes
perform with precision & grace
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 both the RAD Ballet and ISTD Ballet Syllabuses, along with Pointe and other classes that support the development of strong ballet technique.
ISTD Ballet
Pre-Primary to Intermediate
For students aged 5+ we run dedicated ballet classes following the ISTD syllabus from pre-primary right up to intermediate.
The Pre-Primary grade starts around P1 age and Intermediate reaches college vocational level. Progression through the grades is based more on ability than age.
RAD Ballet
Primary to Advanced
Students from age 5+ can begin taking RAD syllabus ballet from Primary – Advanced level.
RAD is a required syllabus for most dance colleges and theatre schools, so if you are thinking about a career in the performing arts, then this class is a must.
Open Ballet
Free Syllabus
We run some free syllabus ballet class which offer extra training for any aspiring ballerina wishing to practise and develop their core techniques. These classes don’t follow a specific syllabus
Repetition is the mother of skill. So no matter what you are working towards extra technique training will benefit your progression.
Pointe
Invite Only
For students taking two or more ballet classes per week at ISTD Grade 2 or above, or those who have done Pointe work previously.
The priority for this elegant dance style is learning how to execute exercises safely and with correct alignment.
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
PBT is a syllabus designed to condition your body to vastly improve your ballet technique. It’s about developing muscle memory core strength and flexibility.
Students learn to use muscles in the right way to initiate the correct alignment and engage those muscles for superior execution.
