This course is open to adult dancers of all levels, including complete beginners. Whether you’re brand new to ballet, returning after time away, or looking to build confidence, you’ll be fully supported throughout the programme.
What will I learn during the course?
You’ll build on your existing skills by learning more complex footwork, transitions, and combinations. The focus is on performance, so you’ll also develop musicality, stage presence, and confidence, culminating in a choreographed routine performed live.

Will I be in a class with more advanced dancers?
Where possible, participants will be grouped by experience level to ensure everyone is working at a pace that suits them. The course is designed to be accessible yet challenging for all.
Do I need to be on pointe?
No, pointe work is not required or expected for this course. Conditioning or technique classes will be offered in place of pointe work where appropriate.
Is there a performance at the end?
Yes, the course ends with an informal studio showing. It’s a relaxed opportunity to celebrate your progress and share your experience with invited friends or family — entirely optional, with no pressure.
Can I attend just one week of the course?
The course is designed as a cohesive two-week programme, but we understand schedules vary. If you can only attend one week, please get in touch - we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
