Saturday Dance Classes

Page Navigation

Overview

Our weekly dance classes offer students the opportunity to receive expert tuition in a welcoming and supportive environment. They take place in our state-of-the-art ballet studios at the Royal Conservatoire’s Wallace Studios campus.

Our youngest dancers (3 and 4 years of age) will be introduced to dance by our professional teachers in a fun, friendly and structured class. In these weekly sessions they will develop their co-ordination, musicality, and be introduced to the basics of ballet and modern dance technique.

When children reach school age we offer classes that are a blend of ballet and modern dance.  These styles complement each other and will develop the dancer’s physical, artistic and creative skills.

Dancers will attend the class relevant to their school age or level of ability.  The uniform information for these classes will be provided on enrolment.
