Children's ballet
Cecchetti ballet from Pre-Primary through the graded syllabus, with pointe work and competition classes for students who progress that far.
Children's balletKids classes
From age four upwards, our children's classes split into two broad routes. The graded route — ISTD ballet, tap and modern — leads to examinations accredited by Ofqual, and to festivals and competitions for those who want them. The other route is simply about dancing: street and breakdance crews, and musical theatre.
Plenty of students do both. Neither is treated as the serious one.
Street & breakdance
Three crews by age and experience — Lil' Crew from age four, Inter Crew from ten, and the Advanced Crew. Thursday evenings.
Street & breakdance
ISTD modern & tap
Graded modern and tap alongside ballet, from Primary upwards. Examinations are optional and taken when a student is ready, not to a schedule.

Musical theatre
Singing, dancing and acting together, for age eight and above. No prior experience needed — just a willingness to have a go.
Musical theatreExaminations
We enter students for ISTD examinations in Cecchetti ballet, modern and tap. These are Ofqual-accredited qualifications, and for older students they can carry UCAS points. More about ISTD exams.
