We run RAD Ballet classes from Grade 1, all the way through to Advanced. All ballet students have the option of completing their RAD Ballet Exams each year. With ballet being the foundation of many aspects of dance technique this is a great style for all ages and abilities. We are incredibly lucky to have the qualified RAD teachers Miss Jacque and Miss Shannon to mentor our ballet students! 2+ classes are recommended for elite students wanting to level up their technical ability.

LYRICAL

Lyrical combines the techniques of Jazz and Classical Ballet. Lyrical is a slower, melodic and more expressive form of Jazz often to ballad music. Dancers gain fluidity of movement, grace and control. In Lyrical we encourage our dancers to start exploring their own expression and meaning through movement.
