Ballet is a traditional and beautiful style of dance. Using the ISTD grading system we work our way through the syllabus developing strength, flexibility, technique and performance.

An ISTD Grade 2 ballet class builds foundational technique, musicality, and posture, following on from Grade 1. It introduces more complex barre and centre work, character or interpretive set dances, and refined arm and foot positions.

Barre Exercises: Expands on demi-pliés, basic stretches, and footwork like battements tendus to build leg strength and stability.
Centre Practice: Focuses on port de bras (arm movements), simple adage, and coordination of the head and upper body.
Allegro: Introduces basic small jumps and travelling steps to improve rhythm and spring.
Character/Dances: Features specific set dances (such as "I Hate Homework" or "Flying my Kite") to encourage performance quality.

Find your level below and let us know when enquiring, so that we can assess which class is the best one for you (our teachers will also assess when you join the class to make sure it is the correct level for you):

Foundation – New to this style or still building the basics.
Developing – Comfortable with the basics and ready for more challenge.
Intermediate – Good technique, confidence and previous experience.
Advanced – Strong technique, experience and ability to learn at a faster pace.
