The adult ballet courses are non-syllabus classes and are taught by highly experienced RAD teachers. Classes are run as a course and are not available on a 'pay as you go basis':

General Level
A fun and informative class which is suitable for beginners and for those with some Ballet experience. This class will allow you to gain a good understanding of ballet steps and enable you to further develop classical ballet technique. This is a mixed level class with an emphasis on enjoyment. This class is structured as a short course and therefore participants will not have to commit to a whole term. The term is divided into a five or six week block and is only available for this level class.

Beginners
Suitable for those with little or no previous experience in dance, this class teaches the basics of ballet technique with the view to move up a level after a year's course.

Improvers
Suitable for those with previous ballet experience and who already have a grasp of ballet technique. This class will enable you to progress to a more advanced class.

Improvers 1
This class is suitable for those with at least two years training in ballet technique and who wish to develop their skills and technique further.

Advanced/Professional
For advanced/professional participants with more than two years training.
