There is a strong emphasis on theatrical performance from our teachers who have all performed at professional level with ballet companies. They have been chosen for their gentle and encouraging manner with the children. The classes are conducted to a mixture of classical and children's music to stimulate imagination and musicality. Exercises and storytelling help the children learn the appropriate steps in a creative atmosphere.

The School’s priority is for the children to look forward to their classes as an outlet to self-expression through movement and dance whilst providing a disciplined backdrop to participate in a group environment with other children.
