Traditionally, a ballet class lasts 1.5 hours. Part of the class takes place at the bar and the other part in the center. Whether you are a beginner or a principal dancer, it's the same thing!

The class begins with folded, stretched, released, etc. In this level, you learn the basics of classical technique. This is an Initiation level course (0 to 1 year of experience and / or fitness!)
We will give you a very practical example. Say you decide to start running, are you going to wait until you are able to run the marathon before you start? No, obviously! Does "I can't run because I can't run a marathon" make sense? No...
It's the same thing in ballet: there is no one who begins by being already flexible, by already having the body in shape for ballet ... it can be learned ... at any age, like the race!
After an appropriate amount of Ballet is studied, dancers may begin training “en pointe”. Dancing in toe shoes requires strength and correct body alignment. Dancers must be at least 12 years of age and have instructor’s approval.
Once these levels are completed the dancer will move into classical ballet training. When studying the Cecchetti syllabus, a minimum of two ballet classes per week are recommended in order the dancer to become a candidate for exams
Ballet is the foundation of dance. Ballet develops excellent body placement and technique. Ballet is a prerequisite for all competitive students.
Learn poise and precision while developing flexibility and strength
The Syllabus used incorporates Classical, Free Movement and Character work in nine grades of examination (Primary to Grade 8 Award). Serious students who are sufficiently prepared have the option of taking an examination, in which their work is evaluated by a visiting RAD examiner.
