The Primary RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) Ballet class is designed for young dancers, typically aged 6–8, who are building on foundational ballet skills and preparing for the Primary in Dance assessment. This class nurtures discipline, creativity, and technical development while maintaining a sense of fun and achievement.
Key Features of the Class:
• Technical Development: Students learn basic ballet movements and positions with a focus on correct posture, coordination, and alignment.
• Rhythm and Musicality: Exercises are designed to improve timing, dynamics, and the ability to respond to music.
• Grace and Expression: Emphasis is placed on developing poise and storytelling through movement.
• Physical Skills: Activities enhance balance, strength, flexibility, and spatial awareness.
• Group and Partner Work: Social skills are nurtured through collaborative exercises that promote teamwork and interaction.
