FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Choosing the right ballet teacher is one of the most important decisions for your child’s training and development. At my school, every student benefits from fully qualified, professional instruction in a safe and positive environment.

As a Registered Teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and a qualified Primary School Teacher, I bring both technical expertise and educational insight to every class. I also regularly complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to ensure my teaching reflects the latest best practices in ballet education. This ensures lessons are carefully structured, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to each student’s individual abilities.

With years of experience preparing students for RAD examinations, I provide expert guidance, clear progression pathways, and a supportive, inclusive environment where every child can thrive. Parents can feel confident that their child is receiving a high standard of ballet training, delivered with care, professionalism, and passion.

I am a part-time Primary School Teacher and a Registered Ballet Teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD).

I have a lifelong passion for both education and the performing arts, and I bring a combination of classroom teaching experience and specialist ballet training to all of my classes.

I have completed my Royal Academy of Dance examinations up to Advanced 1 and am a fully registered RAD teacher. In addition, I am a qualified Primary School Teacher, which supports my structured, child-centred approach to teaching.

The RAD is an internationally recognised organisation that provides a structured ballet syllabus and examination system.

Yes, we do offer trial classes. Please get in touch through the website today and we’ll be happy to help organise a trial class for your child.

For the trial period, there’s no need to buy a ballet uniform straight away. We recommend your child simply wears comfortable clothing they can move easily in, such as leggings or a dress. Socks or soft ballet shoes are welcome if you already have them.

Once you decide to continue classes and your child is enjoying ballet, students are asked to wear the official RAD regulation uniform.  The uniform can be purchased from Dance World or Dance Emporium.

Ballet is a highly technical discipline that requires correct training to ensure safe practice and proper development. A qualified teacher has the knowledge and training to teach technique accurately, reduce the risk of injury, and support each student’s progression in a structured and appropriate way.

Not all ballet teachers hold recognised teaching qualifications. While many may have performance experience, teaching ballet, particularly to children, requires specific training in technique, anatomy, and pedagogy. My qualifications ensure that students receive safe, high-quality, and structured instruction.
