Programme Outline
Ballet technique classes run twice a week and students will attend a weekly Strength & Conditioning (S&C) session to supplement and strengthen their bodies, both to prevent injuries and improve overall performance in class and on stage. Contemporary classes are a crucial part of the Programme, to ensure comprehensive exposure to mastering movement control and quality - both of which are essential to a young dancer's training journey. Level III students will also experience Repertoire and Pas de deux classes to prepare them adequately for the stage and performances.
Students under our Founders’ tutelage will be exposed to rigorous and well-paced ballet training that adequately prepares them for international competitions, entry to vocational ballet schools and valuable performance opportunities. With an emphasis on dancer-specific conditioning, both our Founders’ extensive experience in training pre-professional students in world-class dance institutions ensures quality instruction and nurtures dancers with an in-depth understanding of their bodies, strong performance abilities and maturity.
