Vaganova 1-8
Classes are 90 minutes, with a course running for 2 terms (October to January and March to June). Training starts punctually and dancers are advised to undergo their own general and specific warm up before joining training. Appropriate warming up and cooling down is being explained and taught with the aim to make the dancer able to conduct warm up and cool down routines themselves for all classes (except small children and Dance Mouse-classes, where warm up is conducted with the teacher’s guidance).
Most of our ballet classes can be combined with pointe work and repertory classes when the dancer is ready to work on pointe to avoid injuries.
