BALLET
Ballet is considered to be the core foundation for all dance training and students at KSDA are encouraged to take Ballet as a crucial part of their dance training.
For Younger Students starting Ballet classes, the sessions are fun and exciting introducing the use of props, extra costumes, storytelling and mime.
As the pupils increase in their ability and age, they work their way through the Royal Academy of Dance Grades learning more complex steps, positions and dances which demand a greater deal of strength, flexibility, performance and musicality.
Students are offered the opportunity to take their RAD Ballet Examinations or Class Awards when they have reached the required standard.
Ballet classes encourage young dancers to self-critique, develop poise, confidence, awareness and resilience, and establish personal goal setting skills.
