Ballet is a great foundation for all other dance forms, and we begin ballet classes from age 3. The classes work along the ISTD syllabus and improves many things such as co-ordination, strength, posture, and allows students to feel included and have fun. When students are ready examinations may be taken after learning the syllabus. Attending ballet classes can also lead up to pointe class in their later years. It is compulsory for ballet pupils to also take modern classes at the Abigail Barlow Dance Academy.
