Content and level
Suitable for complete beginners, this course is a perfect introduction to classical ballet technique. A fun, step by step guide, covering basic ballet positions and movements that will help you to improve your posture, coordination and strength.
Absolute Beginners is open to anyone aged over 18 and there is no upper age limit. If you have never danced with us before, we recommend taking one of the final classes of the Summer term as a taster ahead of booking the full Autumn term.
In order to progress to Improvers it is recommended dancers take three terms at this level – these can be taken in any order.
