Advanced Ballet Training

📅 Mondays & Saturdays | 👟 With Miss Rose

The RAD Vocational Syllabus offers an in-depth study of ballet, focusing on the development of technique, musicality, and performance skills. This rigorous training path is designed for students who have both the physical ability and the dedication to meet the demands of intensive classical ballet, including pointe work.

Vocational classes are held two or three times a week and run alongside regular grade ballet classes. Students must demonstrate a natural ability, strong potential, and a commitment to the discipline to succeed in this program.

This highly-focused training is ideal for students aspiring to pursue a career in dance or a dance-related field. The syllabus is suitable for students aged 10 and above.

Vocational classes are by invitation only.
