Content

Each day, Tuesday to Thursday, the children will be participating in a ballet class, creative dance class and an arts and crafts session, each with the duration of 1 hour. Over the course of the four days, the children will create two dances in their groups, with their ballet and creative dance teachers.

On the final day, families will be able to enjoy a relaxed sharing opportunity.

In ballet, the children will be introduced to ballet steps and classical mime appropriate to their age, with pianist accompaniment.

Children will be grouped by age: 4-5 years, 6-7 years and 8-9 years. The children are chaperoned across the day. They will need to come with snacks and a packed lunch.
