Teaching Philosophy
L’Académie ballet classes are based on the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, the world’s leading organisation in classical ballet education and our teachers regularly attend all courses the academy offers.
Our staff are fully qualified and have an extensive knowledge in both performing and teaching.
L’Académie classes for Pre Primary and above:
- Value technique as a foundation for all forms of dance
- Instil a sense of presence and dynamics in a dancer’s movement
- Facilitate an encouraging environment, coupled with hard work and patience, which ensures students reach their full potential.
Sugarplums classes for ages 2 to 5:
- Create a strong base for any dance specialisation
- Emphasise learning skills that will be important in a child’s future development.
- Are based on ballet technique and teach co-ordination, balance, rhythm and musicality.
All dance classes are taught in fully equipped and purpose built studios in Ashfield.
