This helps towards annual costs such as licences and insurance, whilst keeping our class costs low. It also gives our customers benefits such as access to our second hand uniform list and discounted theatre tickets.
Class costs are as follows, paid via direct debit every month.
30-minute classes - £5 per class
45-minute classes - £6 per class
1-hour classes - £7.50 per class

Class descriptions
Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Ballet Classes
The RAD offers an internationally-recognised portfolio of examinations and assessments designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities. These syllabus classes provide a structure for our students to progress their learning and achievement in dance.
Pre-school Ballet
A fun and lively dance class for 3-4 year-olds that uses props, storytelling and imagination to develop physical movement and encourage creativity, expression and confidence. The perfect foundation for the RAD ballet syllabus.
Contemporary Dance
Our contemporary dance classes are the perfect way to start the weekend, giving dancers the chance to let go, use their creativity, feel the music and simply enjoy movement. Our current Contemporary Advanced class challenges our dancers with more knowledge of contemporary technique and performance skills. Previous dance experience is required before joining this class.
Jazz Dance
Our beginner jazz dance class is a dynamic and fun introduction to the energetic world of jazz! This class focuses on building solid dance technique, strength, and flexibility, all set to lively, trumpet-based music that will keep you moving. With choreography designed for beginners, no prior dance experience is necessary.
Strengthening/PBT Class
This class alternates between Pointe Strengthening and Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), a revolutionary programme that uses fit balls and resistance bands to help train muscle memory and build strength.
Pointe Class
A dedicated pointe work class for our senior students to build up their strength and confidence in pointe work. This is an invitation only class for those in Grade 4 and above attending multiple classes a week and who have gained the strength required to dance on pointe.
Private lessons
Private one to one classes for children are available at a cost of £25 per 30-minute session (£50 for 1-hour or £37.50 for 45 minutes). These are ideal for beginners to ballet or those with specific aims such as improving knowledge of an RAD syllabus or developing muscle strength and fitness through progressing ballet technique (PBT) exercises.
