CHILDRENS CLASSES

Susyballet offers high quality, nurturing ballet classes for children aged from two upwards.

Our First Steps & Little Steps ballet classes aim to introduce children to the enjoyment and technique of ballet through songs, games and stories. For children aged 5 and upwards we follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus with a view to entering children for examinations and class awards. Examinations can be a wonderful performing experience for children which they enjoy immensely. Furthermore, it provides a feeling of pride and achievement and helps to prepare children for the next level in ballet. For our older & more experienced ballet dancers (children & teens), we have an invite only strength, technique & performance class which is a fun, engaging class designed to develop strength, technique & performance skills, helping dancers to grow both technically & artistically.

 We also run successful curriculum dance classes at Englefield Green Montessori School and after school ballet clubs at ACS Egham (K, Grade 1, 2 & 3) & Bishopsgate School, Englefield Green (Reception upwards). Our Modern & Tap dance classes are currently only for children who are enrolled at Bishopsgate School (Year 1 & up). We run these as after school clubs for Years 1 & up. 

 

Dancing increases strength, develops co-ordination, balance & musicality. Dance is inclusive and gives children an opportunity to express themselves. It boosts cognitive performance, is sociable and boosts self-esteem. Tap dancing, teaches children to hear different layers of music & to understand different & complex rhythms. The feet become percussion instruments in their own right. It is great cardiovascular exercise & tones and strengthens the legs, ankles and feet. Modern dance, whilst providing all the health benefits above, is a more relaxed form of dance than ballet and provides students with a good base knowledge for further dance genres and is useful for building technique.
