What do parents on local London forums recommend for kids’ ballet?
When London parents recommend kids’ ballet classes to each other, they usually mention the same things: a warm teacher their child loves, a class close to home or school, small classes, a recognised syllabus such as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), a free trial and a show or exams to work towards. Regal Ballet is a RAD registered children’s ballet school with classes across London from 18 months, taught by professional ballet dancers, with a maximum of 16 children per class, an end of year show at a professional theatre, 5-star Google reviews and a free trial lesson for every new student.
Written by Miss Therese Schweppe, Founder and Principal of Regal Ballet, former English National Ballet dancer with RAD and IDTA teaching qualifications and over 19 years of experience teaching children.
