Discover the joy of ballet at Dance St Andrews led by our expert instructors. We offer classes for all ages and skill levels, from preschoolers, to professionals, with classes also available for adult dancers. With small class sizes, we focus on safe technique, personalized guidance, and building confidence.
Our preschool pupils attain a strong background in ballet led by our teacher Ella Grace. But we want to create versatile and strong dancers so we include training in tap and jazz dance once per month. The classes are full of fun and dames whilst mastering strong foundations.
We support dancers who would like to dance en pointe through extensive pre-pointe training before getting their first shoes once they are physically strong and mature enough.
Preliminary dancers engage with the UKADance preliminary syllabus, which bridges the gap between beginning dance and more formal graded study.
Our junior ballet programme delivers the early grades of UKADance graded syllabi developing focus, alignment, strength and grace. Dancers can progress through the levels without formal assessment if they wish.
Our senior ballet programme delivers the more advanced grades in the UKADance syllabus, up to Grade 8. As for our junior pupils, individual dancers can decided whether or not they wish to be formally assessed.
Our professional training programme follows the UKADance Pre-Elementary to Advanced syllabi, providing pupils with advanced skills in technique, theory of dance and artistry. These classes support entry to vocational dance schools and progression into internationally recognised teaching qualifications.
We deliver weekly classes in gentle and more vigorous ballet classes. Our adult dancers join us for fun, exercise and a few of them recently joined us on stage at our summer show where we were delighted to see them!
