Primary Ballet Classes Our primary ballet classes run every Saturday in our venues at , and BDB. Taken by Miss Alison, Miss Chloe and Miss Julie and their wonderful classroom assistants, these classes offer the very youngest students a fun and strong foundation in the early ballet stages. Concentrating on musicality, movement and coordination, they follow the RAD curriculum designed to seemlessly move them through the earlier classes before the graded classes. We are constantly assessing each individual child’s progress before moving them to the next class. At the same time we recognise the necessity that these classes ensure a sense of joy in the beauty of movement and music; the fun of improvisation, the freedom of self expression and the encouragement of a child’s unlimited imagination. These elements are paramount to any early activity whether or not a child wants to continue on a dance or performance path.
