Feedback from our students
"The teachers' instructions and explanations are excellent. Very easy to follow and understand thanks to the demonstrations from the students at the same time. The teachers' advice about how to make it applicable to individuals at home is also excellent. Very worthwhile to listen to several times."
"The class contact is exactly what my daughters are looking for. They provide technical elements needed and are perfect preparation for their summer at The Royal Ballet School this year!"
"It’s very helpful for my daughter to learn repeatedly even if she lives in Thailand. And then she is very happy because she can feel joining the class at White Lodge."
"Excellent video and great idea in inserting messages like "pause if you need to prepare for centre work" and so on "
"The introduction to pointe was for a student, the pirouettes was for me as I find them difficult even though I am over 18. I will probably get some more of the Upper School classes. Thank you, they are lovely. "
"The classes you are offering are wonderfully helpful, and a real joy for those of us who want to learn deeply and authentically, but never had the opportunity to engage with this level of training. There are many online platforms of course, but this is something much more profound."
FAQs
What do I need to take part?
We have developed these classes with care to ensure they can be executed in a smaller space than a ballet studio. They are suitable to do at home, but we do ask that you make sure your dance space is safe and clear of any hazards. You should have room to fully extend your arms and legs and the floor should not be slippery or uneven. If you can’t fully execute an exercise, you should either adapt appropriately or not participate.
Who can take part?
Each of our physical classes are tailored to a particular age group, from aged 11 and up. We have included details of the recommended skill level for each class on the individual class pages.
These classes are not suitable for beginners and students should be studying a syllabus recognised by a classical dance awarding body. The classes will supplement, develop and strengthen the existing training each student is doing.
Our talks and interviews are suitable for ballet students and parents of any age and ability, or just those interested in ballet and the dance world.
There is no limit on the number of students who can take each class.
How much do the classes cost?
You can access our Video on Demand content for as little as £5 each for our talks and interviews with Royal Ballet School staff. Pilates and focus classes are priced at £10 each, and our ballet and contemporary classes are priced at £12 each. You will have lifetime access to your purchased class.
