Content and level
Our Improvers class is for those who have already completed Absolute Beginners or are returning to ballet and want reminding of the basics.
Classes are designed to improve technique, develop ballet vocabulary and increase confidence. Building on the basics, classes introduce preparation for turns (pirouettes), jumps (allegro), develop arm movements (port de bras) and explore artistry and musicality.
Improvers is open to anyone aged over 18 and there is no upper age limit. If you have never danced with us before or would like to move into this level, we recommend taking one of the final classes of the Summer term as a taster ahead of booking the full Autumn term.

Class swaps
Both pay-as-you-go bookers and term packages bookers can attend an alternative class, subject to availability, should they have to miss one class whatever the circumstance.
We ask that you contact engagement@ballet.org.uk as soon as possible, a minimum of 48hours before the class you expect to miss, and encourage you to attend the alternative class within the current or following week. You must contact us via email to inform us of the class you will miss and which class you hope to attend as a replacement: you will then receive confirmation of whether the space is available to change.
We cannot offer refunds except in exceptional circumstances, and class swaps are limited to one per person, per term.
