Pre-School and Toddler classes introduce classical ballet in a fun and caring atmosphere. Through the use of props and music pre-school classes are a way for children to engage in social interaction and develop coordination. Our professional teachers are there to encourage and assist the students in developing their musicality and creativity. 

 

Revolution Dance Academy will be offering ballet classes for students aged 5+ to learn classical ballet steps and movements. This is great for students to take the pressure off exam work and allow for expression and creativity through gaining strength, control, posture, balance and flexibility. Ballet is a fantastic genre for confidence, focus, determination and discipline. 

 

In 2024 from age 5+ we will follow the NZAMD Examination Syllabus. The NZAMD Ballet syllabus is designed to allow students to progress without pressure, the length of the lower grades making it attractive for the once a week student, as well as being progressively challenging for the more committed student.

We encourage the development of strong musicality and expressive port de bras with dynamics and energy throughout the allegro section.
