Ballet

At Studio Blue Dance, we are proud to offer Classical Ballet training through the

Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, internationally recognised as a world leader in dance education and training. With over 13,000 members across 85 countries, the RAD is one of the most respected and influential dance organisations globally.

Ballet classes begin at the barre and focus on correct body alignment, posture, and the development of strong classical technique. Students are introduced to ballet terminology, anatomy, and artistry while learning the values of focus, discipline, and dedication in a fun, supportive, and nurturing environment.

Students have the opportunity, if they choose, to undertake RAD ballet examinations, which offer internationally recognised qualifications regulated by Ofqual. Examinations are optional, with classes available from beginner through to advanced levels, catering to dancers of all ages and experience.

Classical Ballet is highly recommended as a core foundational class for all dance styles. Ballet training supports strength, flexibility, coordination, and technical development, helping dancers build strong foundations across all genres.

If you are unsure about class placement for your student, please enquire with our team — we are committed to finding the most suitable class to support their learning and progress. Families are also welcome to enquire about the RAD examination process should their student be interested.
