The activity

Dance, explained

Dance classes help children build coordination, rhythm, musicality, balance and confidence. The youngest dancers usually start with music and movement games that teach them to listen, copy and move to a beat, before progressing to set steps and short routines. Classical ballet adds posture, strength and careful technique, while styles such as modern jazz, tap and contemporary bring more freedom, speed and self-expression. Many ballet schools follow a graded syllabus, such as the Royal Academy of Dance grades, where children work towards optional exams that mark their progress from one level to the next. Classes are often grouped by age and level, so beginners can join at the start and move up as they grow.

Who it's for

Children from 3 years (Kinderdance) and 4 years (Music & Movement), recreational ballet at Pre-Primary and Primary from 5-6 years, and RAD graded and vocational exam training from Grade 1 up to Advanced 2. The school's September 2026 Instagram post describes its RAD Pre-Primary & Primary Ballet classes as for ages 5 to 7. The school says it trains students for RAD exams from 5 years old to professional level. Adult classes also run.
