RAD Ballet Grade 2 classes is where our young dancers will learn complicated dance positions and difficult moves. We will push their talents and abilities to enhance and develop stamina and memory skills. There knowledge of ballet language will enhance as well as their ability as their muscles get stronger. Ballet can offer physical, social and creative benefits to people of all ages, and in this class we step it up a gear and start to encourage more ballet disciplines to enhance techniques. These routines will challenge the dancer to achieve their very best morphing these dancers into beautiful swans. All our classes are taught by professionally qualified dance teachers with a passion for dance.
