Grade 8 to Senior Ballet

Grade 8 to Senior classes are conducted at the Central Studios. It is imperative, as skills increase and bigger jumps (sautés) are introduced, that classes are conducted on sprung floors. We encourage all students to continue their training in a professional environment.

These students continue developing their classical ballet technique, training 2.25 hours weekly within two class periods during the term. It is recommended that Senior students also take the ‘Contemporary’ and ‘Pointe’ classes to further their skills and strength. Those students who attend Contemporary classes will also have performance opportunities in the annual Charlesworth Ballet School Showcase.

Grade 8 to Senior students are prepared for their yearly grade examination and participate in the annual major ballet production.
