Classes
From a child’s very first ballet class to adult classes for beginners and returning dancers, each class is thoughtfully designed around the age, level and stage of development of our dancers, with programmes inspired by the Royal Academy of Dance and Irish Board of Dance Performance, allowing every student to build their technique, confidence and artistry at their own pace.
