Pre Ballet Pre ballet classes are designed for children aged 3 - 5 years old. The class builds on childrens natural movement and encourages a love of dance. It combines creative movement with some basic ballet concepts. Children at this age are not physically or mentally able to cope with classical ballet so we focus on other aspects of dance such as musicality, listening skills, spatial awareness, and creativity.

The foundation of all dance, ballet is a system of dance based on formalised movements and positions of the arms, feet and body, designed to enable the dancer to move with the greatest possible agility, control, speed, lightness, and grace. Helps to improve posture, core strength, coordination and poise. Ballet is not compulsary however is highly recommended for any dancers education and builds a strong foundation for other dance styles.
