Children’s classes
Our dance school in London offers a variety of extra-curricular dance classes for children and young people.
Syllabus ballet
We offer internationally recognised exams designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities.
Non-Syllabus ballet
Our non-syllabus classes develop responsiveness to ballet exercises and steps, as well as improving vocabulary.
Hip Hop
Fun, energetic and professionally taught, our classes for ages 4–17 develop coordination, introduce technique, and build confidence in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Fun and energetic Jazz classes are offered at three levels, to develop technique, including preparation for turns, leaps, and isolation movements.

Ballet
Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate ballet classes for students aged 18+ offer the opportunity to work toward a Vocational Graded exam. We also offer Silver Swans classes for the over 55s.
Contemporary
Beginners to advanced levels develop movement skills and vocabulary while stretching physicality and creativity. Fun and informative, this class also helps with technique for GCSE or A Level Dance.
Stretch and Strength
Developing strength will improve posture, core, balance, pointe work, and speed required in the dance of all genres.
Move to the Musicals
Specially designed for older learners (55+), ‘Move to the Musicals’ classes improve posture and balance through exercises and movement sequences inspired by musical theatre and jazz dance.
Our Dance School in London
Our new global headquarters gives us better education and training facilities for our members, students, teachers, examiners, and staff. These include seven new studios, and the Aud Jebsen Studio Theatre.
The building also houses the RAD shop, and a café offering somewhere to meet before or after a class – or just because you fancy popping in for a coffee with a friend!
