Contemporary Dance

We have recently introduced the new ISTD Contemporary Dance Syllabus.

The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) have spent the past two years working with a team of dance experts led by Dr Ross McKim, the well-known dancer, choreographer, philosopher and Artistic Director of the Rambert School (from 1985–2015). Pupils will be able to prepare for Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate vocational exams.

Classes are available for ages 10-12 years, 13-15 years and 15+ years.

Adult Ballet

A conditioning and strengthening class is taught, focusing on core strength, balance and cardiovascular development. The class starts with barre work, followed by floor conditioning and then sequences of allegro footwork.
