The Royal Ballet School Affiliate Training and Assessment Programme offers an inspiring journey that nurtures each dancer's unique potential. Students immerse themselves in classical ballet, dive into celebrated repertoire, and explore their creativity through choreography. This flexible, student-centered approach ensures every dancer thrives at their own pace, with opportunities for Royal Ballet School-moderated assessments when the moment is right.

For those seeking the time-honored tradition of structured progression, our Royal Academy of Dance program provides a clear path from Pre-Primary through to Advanced levels. This celebrated syllabus enriches students with both classical ballet and character dance, bringing to life the magical movements seen in beloved ballets like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. Students can choose to celebrate their achievements through optional examinations, while advanced dancers can embrace the elegance of pointe work with dedicated training.
