West Yorkshire Theatre Dance Centre

Life is for Dancing

Ballet

All Students are trained within the syllabus of the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance). The RAD is a worldwide organisation and is unrivelled in its training of Classical Ballet. This prepare students in a subject that could be a once a week ‘hobby’ class, or for the more serious student who wishes to eventually join a Ballet Company.

Students are carefully monitored and are never pushed to do more than they can cope with, however by taking more than one class per week a student is always going to progress to a higher level quicker. This does of course also depend on the growth rate of the body. All Students are encouraged to take a Ballet class as those who do not, tend not to progress as fast in other disciplines as compared with their counterparts who do, due to a lesser understanding of posture and co-ordination.

Older students have the option of also studying the IDTA and/or ISTD syllabi to further enhance their training.
