Course Details

Our Sapphire Gemstone is the second tier in our Gemstone curriculum and holds students in years 3 to 6 at primary school. Our Sapphire dancers take one 45 minute ballet lesson each week to continue their foundational technique, along with their choice of tap, jazz, and lyrical. Many of our Sapphire dancers take 3 styles of dance with us and we help make this easy on families by scheduling back to back classes where possible into our timetable.

Our unique curriculum continues to guide students through learning age appropriate technique in their styles, and Sapphire dancers work towards their gemstone assessments, a mid year showcase and our end of year production

In addition to our R.A.D. Ballet Extension class, Sapphire dancers can also be invited to our competitive extension stream, which encompasses soloist competitors and our troupe teams. At the end of primary school, Sapphire dancers are invited into our Emerald stream.

After meeting up with Francesca Lamott in 1994 they decided to work together and Lorraine began teaching with Francesca at Lamott School of Dance. Lorraine was responsible for all R.A.D. graded and major examination ballet students and throughout her time with Lamott School of Dance and in 2006 when Francesca decided to persue other interests Lorraine took over Lamott School of Dance, re-naming it Elite Dance.
