About our ballet lessons, dance programs, and classes

At LG BALLET CENTRE, our ballet lessons follow a progression from our very popular nursery and preschool  Ballet Academy,  into the Junior Ballet school from 6 years old. Our students are taught in the Vaganova method. In addition, students are offered to study a syllabus from one of the major dance organisations in the UK. We follow the Royal Academy of Dance, and Imperial Classical Ballet system, and examination board, ISTD. These dance classes are taught in ways that are engaging and adaptable to a variety of learning styles. We encourage children to work towards examination standards and take exams, but exams are an optional part of the training. Dancers and families are allowed to choose whether this is the route they would like to take. Once children have reached a certain level, we recommend that they attend 2 classes a week, minimum. You will be contacted by the teacher regarding this as your child progresses. If a child is taking the exam route and is ready to take their exam, they will be required to do an additional exam class for the term of their exam. Performances are an essential part of our curriculum, where the students are given performing opportunities in the theatre on stage.  Live performances are an excellent opportunity for self-expression; the student's sense of creative fulfilment and self-expression is amplified during live performances.  Performing Arts: Theatre performances are an integral part of the curriculum at LG Ballet Centre, offering numerous benefits to our students. Engaging in live performances enhances their confidence, creativity, and teamwork skills. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for students to express themselves artistically and connect with audiences. Through these experiences, they not only grow as dancers but also as well-rounded individuals.
