Ballet
Ballet is the foundation for all dance styles and is at the heart of the training at our school. Ballet is also a beautiful artistic dance style that can be enjoyed by anyone. We have ballet classes for pupils aged 3 - adults and it is never too late to join in.
​
All pupils have the opportunity to take examinations with bbodance. Pupils progress through graded examinations up to grade 5 before selecting to continue with graded examinations and/ or vocational examinations. Vocational examinations are important for the most talented students if they have aspirations to progress onto a professional career in dance.
