At Art of Dance, we take great pride in presenting three exceptional avenues that open up the captivating realm of dance for our exceptionally talented dancers.
REGISTERED TEACHERS
With registered teachers of the Royal Academy of Dance, Rambert, and affiliated teachers with the Royal Ballet School, we can offer truly world-class training and support for our dancers.
Why Choose a Registered Teacher?
Choosing a registered teacher is a decision rooted in a commitment to excellence and a deep passion for dance education. Our principal has undergone rigorous training and is equipped with the knowledge and experience that comes directly from one of the world's most esteemed ballet institutions. With a focus on their honoured techniques and values, our registered/affiliate teacher brings a wealth of expertise to their classes, ensuring that students receive a world-class dance education. Their dedication to nurturing talent, instilling discipline, and fostering an enduring love for ballet sets them apart. When you choose a registered/affiliate teacher, you are choosing the very best in ballet education, providing a strong foundation for students to thrive in their dance journey.
The Royal Academy of Dance, a renowned institution, delivers meticulously designed dance examinations based on a thoughtfully curated syllabus. These examinations are crafted to establish a robust groundwork in ballet technique, musicality, and artistic expression. At Art of Dance, we extend the privilege of engaging in these examinations, starting from preschool levels with RAD Dance to your Own Tune and progressing through to Grade 8. This progression offers a comprehensive and structured path for dancers to elevate their skills and knowledge.
Royal Academy of Dance
By participating in The Affiliate Training and Assessment Programme (ATAP), Art of Dance provides our students with an opportunity to tap into The Royal Ballet School’s principles and expertise. This innovative initiative presents an alternative to the examination-centered approach commonly adopted by many recreational dance organisations. Instead, its core emphasis lies in delivering top-tier training rather than focusing solely on assessing students. ATAP's involvement enables our students to engage with a comprehensive approach to learning dance. In addition to refining technical and performance skills, ATAP students delve into the broader spectrum of dance education. This encompasses choreography, repertoire, and cultivating a genuine appreciation for the art form. This methodology is deeply rooted in the most up-to-date pedagogical concepts, with a focus on guiding children in mastering effective learning techniques, moving beyond the mechanical memorisation of exercises.
Royal Ballet School
At Art of Dance, we are proud to offer the esteemed Rambert Grades, a groundbreaking contemporary dance syllabus developed through the visionary partnership between the renowned Rambert and Rambert School and supported by the Royal Academy of Dance. Embracing innovation and artistic exploration, Rambert Grades empowers young dancers to embrace their uniqueness, foster creativity, and develop confidence in their abilities. Our curriculum is built upon three fundamental pillars: Technique, Performance, and Creative expression, encouraging students to cultivate their individuality while honing their skills. At Art of Dance, we cherish each student's journey, nurturing their artistic growth and encouraging them to explore their passions with authenticity. Join us as we embark on a transformative dance education journey, where every step is a celebration of creativity, expression, and self-discovery.
