Thursday Mid-Week Associate (Ages 11-16)

Thursday Mid- Week Associate - (11 -16 Years )Our Thursday Weekly Sessions are focused on advanced classical ballet training, building on from the fundamentals of technique and the core basics to developing a greater vocabulary, discipline and delivery of the more complex and challenging steps and exercises. 

Athleticism in particular will take a more dominant role in this programme, as many of the advancements in ballet are not essentially based on just coordination, rather the strength and condition to be able to complete the many tasks that require a dancer to attain the necessary level to master those key skills. 

Pirouettes, turn from the corner, batterie, barre/centre adage, demi-pointe & pointe , petit/mid/grand allegro, artistry and classical repertoire will be implemented at a more advanced level. This, in turn, will enable our dancers to evolve on a daily basis by understanding, that we only truly improve by making mistakes, adapting and eventually succeeding our biggest challenges by trusting the process. 

OPTIONAL CLASSES

Keeping all our programmes aligned, we are also including the optional classes that we run on all of our Mid-Week Programmes. Each student will get the opportunity to sign up to additional training in Strength & Conditioning and Pointe/Pre Pointe. These sessions are the perfect complement to ballet training.
