The Academy will offer 36 students over 3 stages extra training over the year, so taking their dancing to the next level.
The Academy will be structured into 3 groups: Junior, Intermediate and Senior. With 12 students accepted at each level.
Student’s must do ballet (Grade 1 exam class and above) to apply but do not need to currently take lessons in the other styles, being part of the academy will give students the chance to primarily strengthen their ballet training but also experience a variety of styles thus broadening their dance education.
The Academy will be based at Cropthorne Village Hall.
It will run over 6 Sundays throughout the academic year (which students must commit to) and there will also be lots of optional guest teacher workshops throughout the year.
The main 6 Sunday sessions will be run by ex Royal Ballet dancer and Elmhurst teacher Laura Green. She is an amazing professional teacher who we are so unbelievably lucky to have leading this new group!
Each Sunday session will be 2 hours 10 mins long and will cost £15 per Sunday.
Dates are : 12th Sep, 7th Nov, 16th Jan, 6th March, 8th May, 17th July
Junior 9-11.10
Intermediate 11.15-1.1.25
Senior 1.50-4.00
The Sunday session time will be focused on Ballet technique, giving students a more professional level of training so really pushing them to the next level.
There will also be optional days throughout the year with other amazing guest teachers focusing on a variety of dance styles.
