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.
Class swaps
Both pay-as-you-go bookers and term packages bookers can attend an alternative class, subject to availability, should they have to miss one class whatever the circumstance.
We ask that you contact engagement@ballet.org.uk as soon as possible, a minimum of 48hours before the class you expect to miss, and encourage you to attend the alternative class within the current or following week. You must contact us via email to inform us of the class you will miss and which class you hope to attend as a replacement: you will then receive confirmation of whether the space is available to change.
We cannot offer refunds except in exceptional circumstances, and class swaps are limited to one per person, per term.
