Ballet students are introduced to a variety of syllabus exercises in the first years of their training.
Last year the RAD introduced a new syllabus for the junior children. It is extremely good for developing imagination and musicality. The exercises are not traditional ballet exercises but will instill a love for movement and dance.
The BBO work offers these traditional technical exercises as well as imaginative exercises and partner work.
We feel that by introducing exercises from both syllabi we will be able to keep the students interested and stimulated as well as providing a solid technical base for the students to develop from. From Grade One onwards we teach the RAD syllabus.
Anna Lee School of Dance is one of the premiere dance schools in the greater Christchurch area.
We have studios in Papanui, Sumner, Ferrymead, Halswell and the Selwyn District, students have the opportunity to learn dance styles including ballet, jazz, hip hop and contemporary.
