Ballet is a fantastic way to improve your posture, balance, muscle strength, and overall fitness. Taking ballet classes are also highly recommended if you want to improve your dancing ability in other styles like ballroom, Latin, belly dancing, samba etc. They will help you understand your body better, how to create beautiful lines and styling as well as having more control and expression when you are dancing.
Our Ballet Taster classes are intended for those with little or no experience in ballet who want to give it try before committing to a full course.

I did really enjoy the class and I thought the teacher was great. I really liked the mix of classical piano music and other more contemporary songs!

FAQs
-
Why should I choose your ballet classes in London?
London is a hub for dance, but it can be intimidating to find a school that welcomes adults. Our ballet classes in London are specifically designed to be inclusive and friendly. We focus on helping you understand your body better, creating beautiful lines, and developing the control and expression that ballet is famous for—all while enjoying a great workout in the heart of the city.
-
What happens during a Ballet Taster class?
The Taster class is a condensed version of our beginner experience. You will be introduced to the foundational elements of ballet, including:
The Barre: Introductory exercises for balance and muscle toning.
The Centre: Learning how to move with grace and poise.
Posture & Alignment: Understanding the "ballet stance" that benefits your everyday health.
-
Do I need experience to join a taster session?
Not at all. Our Taster classes are intended for beginners, including people with little or no previous experience in ballet. We provide a "no-pressure" environment where you can try one of our classes firsthand, meet the instructors, and see if our style of teaching is the right fit for you.
-
How do ballet classes help with other dance styles?
Many students come to our ballet classes in London to supplement their training in Ballroom, Latin, or Belly Dancing. Ballet is the foundation of almost all dance forms; it strengthens your "centre," gives you better body lines, and improves your overall stability, making you a more controlled and expressive dancer in any style you choose.
-
What should I wear for my first trial class?
Since this is a trial, there is no need to buy professional dancewear.
Clothing: Comfortable leggings and a T-shirt are perfect.
Footwear: You can wear a pair of snug-fitting socks. You don’t necessarily need ballet shoes until you decide to sign up for a full course!
-
Where in London are the classes held?
To make our ballet classes London-accessible for everyone, we hold our sessions in central locations including Kings Cross, Soho, Marble Arch, and Baker Street. All venues are near major tube stations, making it easy to drop in after work or on the weekend.
-
What is the next step after the Taster class?
If you enjoy the sensation of being graceful and elegant during your trial, you can move straight into our Beginner Ballet Course. These 8-week programs allow you to progress with the same group of people, building on the foundations you learned in your trial session.
-
