5 - 6 Year old Beginners
The Pre Primary classes in Ballet, Tap and Modern start to expand what they learnt in the baby classes with more dance movements, and develop a body awareness that is needed for the following grades. Previously in the Baby Classes the Ballet and Modern were combined, now in the Pre Primary classes they are studied in separate classes so the student can learn the fundamental differences between them.
The classes in this age group:
Pre Primary Ballet held on Monday, Friday and Saturday
Pre Primary Tap held on Monday, Friday and Saturday
Pre Primary Modern held on Monday, Friday and Saturday

Ages 9 and above:
For ages 9 and above It's best to call as the rest of the classes are attended on ability rather than age.
For the Jazz classes you do need to be at a certain level, see Jazz section. As you need to be attending and attained an exam at a certain level, Jazz is not suitable for new beginners.
Drama and Singing Classes:
As a guide the Drama and Singing classes are for 7-18 years old.
All Drama classes work on improvisation, which develops imagination, and script work as a group and as a monologues.
The Singing classes work on technique using warm-up exercises through to some basic reading of music.
It is compulsory to study both Drama and Singing as both are required to take part in our shows. As well as our main shows, there are cabaret evenings for singing and musical productions for both the Drama and Singing Classes.
