Many other dance forms as well as physical activities such as gymnastics and skating recommend ballet because of the inherent qualities that are developed.
Students are trained in classical ballet through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, which progresses through the Graded levels: Pre Primary, Primary, Grades 1-8, and through Vocational Graded levels:
Starting at the Grade 2 level, students must enroll in two ballet classes per week. For the Covid - 19 year we are having dancers at the Grade 2 level attend once class a week. Students are eligible for exams at the recommendation of their teacher.
The graded levels concentrate on the exploration of movement, musicality, with the development of technique, artistry and self-discipline. Emphasis is placed on proper posture and alignment, correct and safe technique, and a genuine sense of performance.
Many other dance forms as well as physical activities such as gymnastics and skating recommend ballet because of the inherent qualities that are developed. At Dance Steps ballet is recommended to all students (but not mandatory) either to be studied on its own or to enhance a dancers’ training in other genres.
To ensure the health and safety of our students, teachers and staff, Dance Steps has implemented Covid - 19 procedures to diminish risks associated with the virus.
