Ballet at Simon Says Dance
Ballet classes at Simon Says Dance take a focus on movement quality, dynamics, musicality, technique and expression, following the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus.
The study of ballet improves posture, general health and coordination whilst allowing the opportunity to express and communication through music and movement. SSD Ballet classes are taught by Certified RAD Teacher Amy, who has a wealth of Ballet experience. With her contemporary outlook to this beautiful style of dance, Amy brings a fun element to her Ballet classes here at Simon Says Dance.
Students who follow the Graded RAD syllabus will eventually have the opportunity to enrol into RAD examinations in the future (from late 2020 - TBC).
Classes are open to boys and girls aged 3 - 18yrs.

Ballet is great fun at SSD!
"My daughter attends a ballet class on a Wednesday with the lovely Amy, who does a FANTASTIC job at keeping the kids entertained and has built a great relationship with my daughter. Not only is she learning ballet, she is having great fun and I think that is the most important part. Thank you so much for making her smile!"
