A warm, supportive space from day one. | Ashtead Ballet School

😊 Every dancer’s journey starts with the exact same moment: standing at the studio door, holding a parent’s hand, and taking a deep breath before stepping inside.

We know how big that first step feels for a child. That’s why at Ashtead Ballet School, our focus from minute one isn't on perfection - it's on making sure every dancer feels safe, seen, and supported. When a child learns that the studio is a place where trying matters more than getting it right on the first go, real confidence begins to bloom.

🩰 By the end of the class, those hesitant steps usually turn into a skip on the way out.

Pre-School Classes (Ages 3+) | Ashtead Ballet School

😊 To a three-year-old, a simple silk scarf isn't just a piece of fabric - it's a flying bird, a floating cloud, or a magical shield.

In our early years pre-school classes, we channel that organic imagination to teach the fundamental building blocks of dance. Children are learning spatial awareness as they move around the room, active listening as they match their movement to a musical tempo, and gross motor coordination through play.

💫 It’s an environment designed to foster a genuine love for movement while helping young children build the focus and social confidence they’ll use when they start nursery or school.

✨ Help your little one take their first big steps.
Trial spaces for our September intake of early years classes are open now.

Rediscover Movement with Low-impact adult ballet | Ashtead Ballet School

🩰If your usual routine feels repetitive, a weekly hour at the barre might be exactly what you need.

Our adult ballet sessions at Ashtead Ballet School strip away the intimidation. There are no performance pressure and no formal exams. Instead, we use classical ballet technique to work on core physical strength, joint mobility, and posture.

What to expect:

Better Balance: Deep core work that improves everyday stability.

Mental Reset: Concentrating on movement patterns gives your brain a total break from the workday.

Gentle Conditioning: Low-impact exercise that builds long-term mobility.

Suitable for total beginners as well as those returning to dance after years away.
We have both a beginner/improvers class and an advanced class!

✨ Give it a go this September:
Come take a trial session - we have classes on Thursdays starting at 7.00pm

Quality training, supportive space. | Ashtead Ballet School

🙂 A new school year is always a great time to build fresh, positive routines.

Dance is one of the few activities that challenges the mind and body in equal measure. At Ashtead Ballet School, we teach our students the value of showing up, working through challenges, and taking pride in their own dedication.

From foundational pre-school classes to graded RAD examinations, our classes give students a space where they can disconnect from screens, build real physical strength, and make friends outside of school.

✨ Get set for the new term:
Trial spots are available across all age groups for our September intake.

🩰 Early Years Classes (Ages 3+) | Ashtead Ballet School

Long before a child learns formal ballet positions, they need to master the basics: balance, spatial awareness, and rhythm.

Our early years classes for ages 3+ are designed to turn fundamental motor skills into an engaging, structured activity. We use music and simple movement patterns to help young children learn body control, practice active listening, and burn off energy in a positive environment.

It’s a gentle, supportive way to introduce your child to a real class setting before school or nursery routines start.

RAD Ballet Syllabus | Ashtead Ballet School

🩰 Ever wonder why structured syllabus training and repetition matters so much in classical ballet?

We follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) framework because it is built around human development. Young bones and joints develop at specific rates, and RAD training ensures that every leap, turn, and posture exercise is introduced only when a child's body is physically ready for it.

✅Our focus in classes:

Safe Mechanics: Protecting joint health while building core alignment.

Clear Milestones: Giving students a tangible sense of growth as they progress through grades.

Artistry & Control: Developing expression and musicality alongside physical agility.

It’s expert, safe, and structured training designed to last a lifetime.
