Best Ballet Classes in Birmingham

When you enrol, we will ask you to set up a direct debit to pay for your trial and any subsequent fees. We send invoices at the start of each term. The price per term will depend on the number of weeks in the term. Invoices can be paid termly or can be split into monthly instalments by prior arrangement. (This monthly cost will also vary depending on the length of the term). Fees will be collected using your direct debit. You will have plenty of warning and can cancel the direct debit at any time.

The Royal Academy of Dance and Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing are both organisations that train dance teachers, and provide a range of exams and awards for dancers from age 5. We follow the RAD system of training and exams for ballet, and the ISTD system for modern and tap.

We offer exams and class awards, as well as in-house rosettes and medals. Exams are never compulsory however some parents like the opportunity for their child to experience the chance to show an examiner what they have learned. We believe that preparing for, and taking a dance award/exam in front of a visitor prepares children for future exams/interviews and gives them a sense of achievement and pride.

Festivals are competitions where dancers from different dance schools perform solos, duets, trios and group dances in lots of different dance styles on a stage in front of an audience and an adjudicator. They are given a mark out of 100 for their performance and can win medals for 1st-4th place. Trophies are awarded at the end of the festival for dancers who win with very high marks.

Any student who shows commitment and works well in classes can be invited to do festivals. If they want to perform solos, they will need weekly private lessons.
