Sparkle
Non-assessment ballet classes in line with but not limited to RAD terminology and learning outcomes. With an emphasis on fun, imagination and teamwork, students learn the fundamentals of ballet technique in a relaxed supportive atmosphere with regular performance opportunities. All sparkle pupils are invited to dance in our amazing biennial shows at Richmond theatre, and when not putting on a show, we work towards the ‘lavender awards’, internal presentations where pupils learn more about different classical ballets, and create own versions of famous repertoire.

Dazzle
A natural progression from Sparkle for those who love to dance but are not considering ballet as a vocation. A weekly recreational class, 11-16 year olds can work creatively and choreographically with others, and are given further opportunities to showcase their work in our shows.
Students are still able to develop key skills like pointework, and keen dancers might like to consider other dance styles.
There is currently a single mixed ability session:
Dazzle 1&2 (Ages 11-14)
Wednesdays, 18.00
classes last 1 hour and cost £192.00+VAT per 12 week term
Dazzle 3&4 (Ages 14-18)
Tuesdays, 18.30
classes last 1.5 hours (incl Pointe/ Pointe preparation) and cost £288.00+VAT per 12 week term
