1. My child has never done ballet. Where do they start?
A: Simply let us know their age and we will guide you from there. Each age group has a class suited to the child's level of development — no prior experience required.
2. What is the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) programme?
A: The RAD is one of the most recognised ballet teaching programmes in the world, based in London. Classes follow this structured curriculum, allowing students to progress consistently and, if they wish, sit internationally certified examinations.
3. Is special clothing or equipment required?
A: Yes. Ballet classes require specific attire — a leotard, tights and soft ballet shoes. All guidance on the required equipment will be provided at the time of enrolment.
4. At what age does pointe work begin?
A: Pointe work is introduced gradually from the age of 12, and only when the muscular and skeletal structure is sufficiently developed. The safety of our students is always the priority.
5. Are there performances throughout the year?
A: Yes. Students actively take part in the creation and production of performances, making the experience far more complete than classes alone. It is a moment of great pride for students and families alike.
6. Can an adult with no experience really start ballet?
A: Absolutely. The adult class was created for those who have never danced before. Flexibility and prior experience are not required — these develop with regular practice. The only requirement is the desire to learn.
7. Are boys welcome?
A: Of course. Ballet is an extraordinary discipline for boys and men — it builds strength, coordination, agility and posture. Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender.
8. Is it possible to sit international examinations?
A: Yes. The RAD programme allows students to sit internationally regulated examinations, with certification recognised worldwide — a valuable asset for those wishing to pursue a professional career or simply validate their journey.
