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.

Please see full TERMS AND CONDITIONS here.

50% off Ballet Active for a year

*All Summer package bookers will receive a confirmation email once booked which includes a 50% off code to our online platform BalletActive. This code is valid for 12 months once redeemed and can only be used once.

Class swaps

The Classes for All Terms and Conditions will be updated for the Summer term, and from then we will no longer be able to offer class swaps.

In the interim, we are making changes to the administration of class swaps, taking immediate effect. This will be in place for the remainder of the current term, with last classes taking place on Tuesday 25 March and Wednesday 26 March.

Please note the updated changes below:

Class swaps are not guaranteed.
Class swaps are only available to Term Package bookers, we cannot accommodate any class swaps for pay-as-you-go bookers.
Only one class swap request is offered per person, per term, subject to availability.
We require a minimum of 1 week notice by email to engagement@ballet.org.uk to administrate a potential class swap.
Please note our working hours are 10:00-16:00 Monday to Friday only. Please do not email outside these times.
We regret we cannot facilitate class swap requests by telephone.

The Summer term classes will go on sale in the week commencing 10 March, and the new Terms and Conditions will be applied from Summer term onwards.
