What you will cover across the 5 days

DAY ONE

Day one starts with friendly introductions. You meet your tutor, who will mentor and guide you over the next five days. As with most days, you start with a warm-up and progress on to your first ballet class. You are introduced to the repertoire you will be learning during the week.

DAY TWO

You are introduced to choreography and repertoire today after your warm-up. You focus today on a contemporary creative movement workshop to create a sense of awareness of your body, and continue to strengthen your muscles and posture.

DAY THREE

After your morning warm-up, you will take part in a barre-fitness and flexibility workshop to get those muscles burning! Don’t worry, you will cool down with a session on choreography and repertoire.

DAY FOUR

Kick off the day with a technical ballet class and get stuck into choreography, borrowing from Musical Theatre to really bring out your inner performer. By the end of the day you are feeling confident about performing, your physicality and your ballet skills.

DAY FIVE

The final day of the course is centred showcasing your learning, and a chance to see all of your hard work come together.
