  • Inter (Gr. 4- Inter. Found. Ballet), & Senior (Intermediate – Adv. Ballet):

    • NB: Recommended for all ballet students sitting exams and compulsory for senior vocational students undertaking an exam

    These classes are based on ‘Clinical Pilates’ techniques and the ‘Progressing Ballet Technique’ program established by Marie Walton-Mahon.  Much of the class utilises fit-balls to challenge stability and build core control rapidly.  Exercises to improve strength and flexibility along with general conditioning are incorporated with a strong ballet focus.  This class also addresses injury prevention strategies and management, designed to build stronger, fitter, and more flexible dancers!!

    From 2015, we introduced the ‘Acrobatique’ acro-dance syllabus to our repertoire.  With an ever increasing demand from the dance industry for athletic, highly flexible, strong dancers with acrobatic skills it is essential that we train our students with correct technique to execute these skills SAFELY from an early age.  Instructors in this syllabus undergo rigorous training and monitoring to deliver this work, with the focus on strength and form before flexibility and ‘tricks’.
