Are you a complete beginner wanting to start ballet for the first time? Or maybe you're someone looking at refreshing the basics after many years away from ballet?
If the answer is yes, you're in the right place!
Our four-week Introduction to Ballet course is back again in September – but hurry, as half of the spaces are already booked!
We developed this short course as many adult beginner ballet classes are often not truly a 'beginner' class, meaning that the absolute beginner dancer is sadly left struggling at the back of the class when everyone else is already familiar with the basics. However in this course, we take everything right from the start and with absolutely no prior experience necessary, everyone is in the same situation. The course is also strictly for over 18s only, so you are learning amongst like-minded adult beginner ballet dancers.
It's the perfect starting point in ballet whether you're looking to start with a solely ballet focus, or use ballet to help with your sports training. As it's online, you can join us from anywhere in the world 🌍

Starting September 2026, we are excited to announce the expansion of our live online Progressing Ballet Technique® programs to now offer a dedicated PBT class on Zoom, just for adults!
Are you aged 18+ and looking for a body-conditioning and strengthening program to build strength, muscle memory, and body awareness that transforms how you move, feel, and perform? Then Progressing Ballet Technique is the class for you!
PBT works from the inside out: through a graded series of exercises using equipment such as exercise balls and resistance bands, you develop precise alignment, coordination, and control, supported by music and guided by an understanding of both technical and artistic development. We currently run a PBT programme in our children's school and it's loved by not just dancers, but skaters and gymnasts, too (so it's perfect for athletes on our Ballet for Sports programme!)
“PBT proves invaluable for dancers, athletes and physiotherapists, enabling them to maximise their performance and excel in their respective fields. I hold PBT in the highest regard to strengthen, motivate, and support students.”
Leanne Benjamin AM OBE
Artistic Director, Queensland Ballet Former Principal and The Royal Ballet, London
Our online PBT classes are taught by a Level 3 PBT qualified tutor. This is the highest level of tutor in Progressing Ballet Technique®, two levels above the base PBT qualified teacher status. All of our online teachers are also fully qualified ballet teachers to Licentiate level.

Ten skaters attending... and six podium finishes! 4x British Champions and 2x Vice Champions! What a weekend of results in the GB Skate Artistic Youth-Senior British Championships for our Ballet for Sports skaters 🇬🇧
It is an absolute privilege to work with all ten skaters who competed across the weekend – developing your work throughout this season, not just across ballet for skaters training, stretch & conditioning, but also on competition program arms choreography and competition program artistry. Everyone's hard work truly paid off!
A huge thank you to all the clubs and coaches who place their trust in us and support us for working with their skaters.
(Full results will be included in our end of month competition round-up)
