Le Petit Ballet Class Guide
Preschool Ballet 2-5 years
Our preschool programs are designed to inspire imagination and creativity. We believe in letting your child's spirit roam free, cultivating confidence, and giving them permission to have fun. We know many petits dream about tutus and pointe shoes. Your child will follow a magical story each term unleashing their creativity, while they learn foundation ballet steps.
Sub Junior
Kindergarten - Year 1
Our Primary Ballet combines elements of the RAD syllabus with our own story-based themes. We give children the chance to develop their own creative flair while building confidence. We introduce many of the foundation ballet steps. Our Primary Ballet is a bridge between petit ballet and RAD ballet syllabus classes.
Junior and Pre-Senior
As your child grows and progresses, we guide them through the renowned Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus – a worldwide organisation on the highest quality dance education. Your child will start to develop a good understanding of the foundations of ballet and also begin to develop their unique artistry. Students may be invited to enrol for an exam with the RAD.
Jazz 3+ years
Jazz is an upbeat dance style that is accompanied by pop music. It will keep your child moving and grooving. Your child will learn basic jazz technique and steps including jazz runs, kicks, turns and leaps. This class is a great compliment to ballet or on its own.
Lyrical 6+ years
Lyrical dance is a modern style that combines ballet and jazz technique. The term Lyrical comes from the word “lyric,” which means to have a poetic, expressive quality. Lyrical is performed to music with lyrics to inspire expression of emotions through movement. Lyrical can be a wonderful extension from ballet and also a beautiful introduction to dance as it instills a sense of enjoyment by simply moving to the music.
Tap Dance 3+ years
Tap dancing is an energetic style focusing on movements of the feet to create sounds from tap shoes. Tap dance helps to build strength in the body and precise movements of the feet. It really is lots of fun!
Stretch and Condition 6+ years
The perfect accompaniment to every class. This class focuses on stretching and strengthening. Our dancers always ask to stretch. We have dedicated an entire class to help those dancers waiting to get more flexible and improved their technique.
We can't wait to welcome your child into our warm and inclusive community. Contact us and let the dance magic begin!
