Tiny Tots

Aimed at children aged 3 – 4 this class is an imaginative syllabus, that gently introduces children to the basics of ballet encouraging balance, good posture, musicality and fun.

Imperial Classical ballet grades 1-6

The ISTD syllabus is designed to progress children naturally from one grade to the next. Half the lessons consist of ISTD set work, the other half being free work which aims to stimulate the brain and help in remembering choreography. This benefits students greatly when they attend auditions as they are quick to pick up new work.
All ISTD examinations are a recognised qualification and can be used for UCAS points.
