Baby Ballet
For students aged 3 - 4½ years old
Our Baby Ballet class is for our youngest students.
​
This class is specially designed to develop a basic dance technique in an exciting yet nurturing environment. With fun games that help develop musicality and imagination, this is a great place to form new friendships and build confidence.
​
Parents are able to stay close at hand should they be needed during class.
This is a great introduction to dancing for those little feet.
Ballet
MINI, JUNIOR, PRE-ELITE & ELITE LEVELS
For students aged 4 - 18 years old
A truly magical discipline that takes careful training and dedication to master. A very rewarding genre that will take students from a very young age to adulthood.
​
At TDA we offer specialised classes for our younger students, that offers the in-depth training needed in a fun and nurturing environment through games and 'make-believe'.
​
As students progress through the grades we keep the technique honed while building a thorough understanding of the language and artistry.
​
A very special discipline!
Ballet Theatre
PRE-ELITE & ELITE LEVELS
For existing Ballet students aged 6+ years old
As our students develop their core ballet technique, they are given the opportunity to join our Ballet Theatre class, where students enhance their performance skills and learn additional ballet tricks.
As a performance class, we learn routines, dances and set pieces all year round and are involved in TDA Productions projects.

Pointe Work
PRE-POINTE & POINTE LEVELS
For existing Ballet students
Pre-Pointe Work
​
For students aged 9+ years old who already take a ballet class. This is a preparatory class for pointe work which involves strengthening and technical exercises, and gives all our students a smooth and successful transition to the challenging technique of pointe work.
It is combined with our pointe work class on the timetable, providing new students an insight into starting work in pointe shoes.
​
For students aged 11+ years old who already take a ballet class and have strong ballet technique. Pointe work is started slowly and with care and is combined with the pre-pointe work class to ensure a good level of strength and technique.
As students gain confidence, we progress to learning classical pointe work set pieces that all young dancers aspire to.
Students upon reaching this level, really begin to appreciate the joy of their chosen discipline.
As a theatre school, we're always looking to test the boundaries of dance and style by creating our own standalone pieces.
