At Midlands Dance Theatre Centre we follow the Royal Academy of Dance method from Grades, Class Awards & Solo Performance Awards as well as all Vocational levels from Intermediate Foundation to Advanced 2 & the Discovering Repertoire syllabus.
Annually we do American Academy of Ballet Performance Awards from Levels 1-12. This gives the dancers a wonderful sense of achievement when they receive their medals and certificates.
Classical Ballet encourages a sound basic technique which is a foundation for all other styles of dance. It develops an understanding of posture, the body and musical interpretation, all essential to pure classical ballet.
