BALLET LESSONS IN DULWICH – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I pay for Dulwich ballet classes?
Our school offers a trial class (or ‘taster’) billed as a one-off payment of a single class. After the trial class, all fees are paid per half term.
For example, if you would like to try adult beginner ballet:
The trial class would be a single payment of £9.70. Then, the five weeks left in the half term would be billed for £48.50.
We also allow you to make up any missed classes on a different day of the week during the same half term.
You can book your taster directly by the booking form on this page!
Should I take ballet or tap classes, and what is the difference?
Ballet refers to classical technique which has been developed since the 15th century, using precise and highly formalised set steps and gestures.
Tap dance is of course the style that you’ll know best from the west end, but we tap to all sorts of music, from showtunes to modern pop!
The two classes are quite different in format, and ultimately which you prefer is down to your own personal preference.
Do you teach adult ballet and tap classes to complete beginners?
Yes. We currently teach beginner ballet classes in Dulwich to both beginner and intermediate level dancers. So if it’s your first time, beginner is for you, but if you already have a solid foundation then come and find our intermediate classes!
Can I take ballet exams with your school if I’m learning with you in Dulwich?
Yes! Our school is IDTA registered, and every year around June we offer all ballet and tap students the opportunity to enter for an exam relevant to their grade. It is not mandatory, but has proven to be very popular, as students are able assess their progress and feel a sense of achievement.
If they choose, adults will prepare for a ‘medal test’, which consists of a few dances that the whole class will learn over the Spring term.
IDTA is recognised by the Council for Dance Education and Training (CDET), and more information can be found on the IDTA website.
What are the differences between your beginner, intermediate and pointe classes?
Beginner classes are suitable for anyone who has had no previous experience, or for those who are returning to classes after a long break.
Intermediate classes are for anyone who has previous experience of dancing or has attended the beginner class for a while and would like to take their technique to the next level.
Pointes classes are more advanced, and are only open to people with previous dance experience at an intermediate level. The shoes worn in this class are reinforced at the tip to allow the wearer to stand on their toes.
Will I need any specific clothing or equipment for Dulwich ballet lessons?
If you are a beginner, you are very welcome to attend the class in socks and any sport clothes you feel comfortable moving in. For tap, trainers for your first class will be fine.
We recommend not wearing anything too baggy, to allow the teacher to see and correct the posture if necessary.
We also recommend wearing ballet/tap attire if you wish to carry on with a regular practice, and have an affordable uniform for ballet and tap lessons, which can be ordered directly from teachers.
