Adult Classes FAQ

What shall I wear?
There is no specific dress code for our classes. For your first class just wear something comfortable that you can move in. As you progress you may prefer to wear a leotard and tights. You don't need to wear ballet shoes for you first class but we recommend you wear them for subsequent classes. Contemporary classes are taken barefoot.
Which class is right for me?
Absolute Beginners (David Kierce)
Perfect for people who have never done a ballet class before. Or people who did ballet as a child and would love to get back into it! You learn from the start, with an easy guide to how to use your body correctly. With a focus on posture which helps with every day life and self confidence. The class is fun and uplifting perfect for all ages!
Beginner (Improver) Ballet (David Kierce)
Perfect for people who have taken ballet for a year! This class is designed to take you further in ballet technique! Less time is spent on the barre, more time in the centre. Focusing on moving across the floor turning and jumping. This class is fun uplifting and perfect for all ages!
General (Paul Lewis)
This class is aimed at people who have a good grounding in Ballet and are either keeping them selves in shape for auditions or are just doing it for fun as they love to dance and move and want to keep themselves in shape. It is less technically challenging than my Advanced/ Professional class but does require the student to have considerable prior learning in place. (Even if they are a bit rusty!) Paul teaches the class at a slightly slower pace and he is very happy to explain movements that students don't understand. The class recently has attracted people returning to ballet after quite a few years absence and they had a great time!
Can I pay in advance, or for a block of classes?
Our classes are drop in only and are payable with cash on the door. We are unable to take advance payment or block bookings.
What facilities do you have?
We have men and women's changing rooms, with showers which are available for your use, however we recommend that you take any valuables with you into the studio.
