Content and level

Suitable for complete beginners, this course is a perfect introduction to classical ballet technique. A fun, step by step guide, covering basic ballet positions and movements that will help you to improve your posture, coordination and strength.

Absolute Beginners is open to anyone aged over 18 and there is no upper age limit. If you have never danced with us before, we recommend taking one of the final classes of the Summer term as a taster ahead of booking the full Autumn term.

In order to progress to Improvers it is recommended dancers take three terms at this level – these can be taken in any order.

Please see full TERMS AND CONDITIONS here.

BALLETACTIVE Participants who book for the whole term are entitled to 50% off our online platform BalletActive to continue training whenever, wherever! After you have booked, you will receive an email containing your discount code. For questions please contact info@ballet.org.uk.

Please note that classes are not refundable: if you cannot attend class one week, we are unable to offer a refund except in exceptional circumstances. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you in our studios soon.
