Our Improver Ballet classes focus on developing your technique, flexibility, and poise both on the barre and in the centre.
These courses are suitable for those who have completed three to six of our beginner ballet courses, each covering a different syllabus, or those who have previously danced regularly and are coming back wanting a faster paced and more challenging class.

I thought the ballet class was really good and I left with such a big smile on my face! I had done a lot of advanced ballet years ago but was missing a lot of confidence and was convinced I’d have forgotten everything so was caught between going straight for an improvers class or going right back to basics. I am so glad I chose this course as it’s given me a big confidence boost to carry on dancing.
