Teeny Tots 1 & 2
Teeny Tots is a creative movement dance class for boys and girls that incorporates fun themes such as “Enchanted Garden”, “Circus”, and “The Secret Island” to name a few to enhance your child’s class experience.
“Young children love to move. Watching children at play in the park or at nursery school; running, jumping, turning, sliding and swinging, illustrates the necessity of movement to their well-being and contentment. Not only does movement help children feel good about themselves, it helps them to learn. Through movement children develop their bodies, their minds, their confidence and their ability to communicate and express. Young children are learning all the time. In these early years most of their learning is connected to movement.” -RAD

Pre-Primary and Primary Ballet
Pre-Primary and Primary Ballet are the first official levels of the RAD. With set syllabi, the children are introduced to basic ballet terminology in a fun and fantastical way.
“An absolutely enchanting introduction to the world of ballet. Using music and movement and the children’s imaginations to tell the stories about catching butterflies, approaching tigers and even ‘becoming’ Cinderella or a pirate. All this at the same time as learning the first basic steps of ballet technique.” – Dame Antoinette Sibley, DBE, President of RAD
