Recreational Studio
The school runs every afternoon of the week giving children the opportunity to learn classical ballet as an extra-curricular activity. Children are given the opportunity to enter for eisteddfods, competitions, workshops and examinations where technical ability, emotional maturity and regular attendance is closely observed.
Classical Ballet
Studies have shown that ballet training can have astonishing benefits for students, benefits that will stay with them throughout their lives, such as improved proprioception, co-ordination, posture and cardio-vascular health; as well as discipline and realisation of the importance of fulfilling commitments and team work. Other benefits include self-esteem, communication skills, cultural enrichment and better cognitive abilities, including reading and mathematics.
