Holistic Ballet® keeps ballet technique in its purest form and uses principles derived from yoga, Pilates, and functional anatomy to create a safe and effective training method. Thus, it enables professional dancers and students who do not possess the ideal physical attributes needed for conventional ballet training to progress and advance whilst minimising the risk of injury.

Intermediate/Advanced

More strength and coordination are needed to follow movements and combinations with increased complexity.

The pace is faster and although the barre work is still a major part of the class, more time is spent in the centre.

Challenging movements are explained in detail and you always have the opportunity to ask questions for clarification.
