Ballet Classes at KJ Theatre Arts

We offer two free trial classes of all our classes and 20% off the first term.

We offer Ballet classes from age 2.5. Following the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Syllabus, students have the opportunity to work towards examinations as well as performances. Ballet encourages strength, flexibility, style, elegance, good posture, as well as discipline and team work.
