Class Levels & Requirements

Ballet Beginners 1 (Level 1)

This class is designed for beginners with some experience, building on the basics of ballet. It teaches foundational steps, vocabulary, and technique and will allow you to gain a good understanding of ballet. Barre and centre work include various exercises created uniquely by our professional teachers to increase strength, mobility, and correct placement. This is the perfect class for your first month (up to a year) of ballet training. Some previous ballet experience needed. If you have never danced before we highly recommend our Introduction to Ballet Course. Ballet shoes and appropriate dancewear required.

Level 1 Classes will run on a 4 module cycle. Each module will last a total of 4 weeks. You are welcome to drop in at any point in the cycle. Most students will join for an average of 3 full cycles in order to gain a full understanding of the material before moving on to Level 2. The amount of time spent in Level 1 will vary greatly depending on the individual, how much previous experience they have, how often they are taking class etc. Your teacher will let you know when you are ready to progress to Level 2.

This class also introduces pointe work. Pointe Work is an optional part of the class, recommended for students who have had at least two years of recent ballet training or for those returning to ballet after a break.
Several years of previous ballet experience, ballet shoes and appropriate dancewear required.

Our classes are taught exclusively in English.
