Classical ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. Children and students are encouraged to acquire a sound basic technique combined with an understanding of co-ordination and musical interpretation which are the essentials of a pure classical training. Numerous outstanding teachers, and classical dancers in major international ballet companies, have been wholly trained within the Imperial Classical Ballet syllabi.
From grade 4 it is advised that you participate in two ballet classes per
week to reach the required standard and strength for examinations.

Modern Theatre Dance defies a single permanent definition. This is largely due to its ability to adapt, develop and evolve with the changing fashion in dance. Through a carefully planned and well established examination syllabus, which combines modern dance, jazz and other more funky dance styles, young people are trained to become disciplined and versatile dancers who have a professional attitude towards dance.
