Our qualified and RAD Registered Teacher is Charis Dunn BA Hons (Dance Education). Holly Paul is working towards her registered teacher status. Charis is her mentor.

We offer classes from the age of 3 years. Darcy, our bear comes to class. She goes home with a child each week. The children write in a notebook the adventures they have with Darcy whilst she is with them. From 4 years, children start on the RAD ladder. Assessments, Class Awards and Examinations are available to all children who take ballet. Vocational classes can be taken alongside graded dance classes from the age of 11.

We currently have examination/assessment classes from Pre-Primary through to Grade 6 and Intermediate Foundation.

When looking for the right ballet class for young children, age is the first consideration. 3 – rising 4 years would start in Pre-Primary* and 6 year olds in Primary.

The Hayes branch of the school trial children from the age of 3 and depending on their response during the lesson, we would have a conversation with parents to make the right decision for the child and the class.

Older children are also made welcome, with or without prior training.
