Year 7+ Dance Classes in Worthing

Ballet, Tap, Modern and Contemporary for ages 11–18, from pre-pointe work to expressive, creative dance.

About these classes

Technique, artistry and confidence

By Year 7, students who have reached Grade 4 Ballet begin pre-pointe exercises, preparing for pointe work around Grade 5 once they are strong enough. Alongside Ballet, Tap and Modern, students from around Year 8 can try Contemporary, a mindful class exploring natural movement and individual style alongside strong technique. Older students may also be invited to assist with early years classes as part of their personal development.
