My classes are divided into age-appropriate levels and include classical ballet as well as character dance. This is also known as folk dance and is based on folk dances from various countries.
Once students have reached a certain level and wish to further develop their hobby, they can begin training en pointe. This requires a greater degree of discipline and commitment, as it necessitates more practice hours per week.
At appropriate intervals, I give all students the opportunity to receive a certificate of achievement from the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) through an examination. Smaller and larger performances provide further variety in the daily ballet routine, giving students the chance to showcase their talents. So far, there have been six major events produced in-house in collaboration with local clubs.
It doesn’t matter whether your child wants to move to music at around 3.5 years old or only when they start school. It’s never too late to begin ballet. The joy of dancing is independent of age.
