Grade 8 to Senior Ballet classes are held at our Central Studios, where students can train in a professional environment equipped with sprung floors—essential for safely mastering advanced techniques and bigger jumps (sautés).
Program Highlights
- Classical Ballet Training
Students refine their technique with 2.25 hours of training per week, spread across two class periods during the term. As skills progress, the focus shifts to advanced movements, precision, and artistry. - Pointe Class
A specialised “Pointe” class is available for students who wish to progress to en pointe. This class includes a well-defined process to ensure readiness before purchasing pointe shoes.
More Information - Classical Ballet Extension Class
Students aiming to extend their ballet training, develop performance quality and advance their pointe study are strongly encouraged to enrol in the Ballet Extension class. This allows them to receive two pointe-focused classes per week, accelerating progress, building strength, and ensuring safe and effective development.
