'Inspiring Passion, Fulfilling Potential'

​

*Acceptance is upon successful audition.

The Training

The Vaganova method is the training style most internationally renowned full time ballet schools base their teaching systems. This is not a syllabus of set classes, but  a method of teaching that produces the beautiful use of the upper body with liquid like extensions and athleticism, that we see in Companies today.

​

I feel that it is so important that students wishing to attend one of these prestigious institutions, start to train and gain knowledge of this method at an earlier age.

​

​

Body Conditioning/Pilates enables students to gain both anatomical knowledge, increased strength and mobility to engage the correct muscles with postural alignment to acquire a clean and sound technique.

​

Variation coaching provides students with the vital coordination skills, artistic development and understanding of classical ballet repertoire that are vital for a career in classical ballet.

​

Pointe classes allow for a methodical and comprehensive approach to strengthening. Students are provided with essential knowledge and skills that allows them greater opportunities in the future.
