Focus classes
Each of these classes focuses on one or two specific elements of classical ballet technique.
Focus topics include alignment, épaulement, port de bras, pirouettes, allegro, pointe work and more. Our teachers will carefully guide students in exercises to help them understand each element and execute them with accuracy and flair.
Each class has a recommended age band and reflects the level of training given to students of that age group at The Royal Ballet School. This is a guide only, and students may take any class they feel is suitable for their level, provided they meet the minimum age recommendation. Please check the ‘Who can participate’ guidance under each class and check with your dance teacher if you’re not sure.
