Adam’s Beginners class is designed to give people with limited experience of ballet, or those coming back to it after a break, the opportunity to participate in a fundamental, yet well-rounded ballet class. He provides explanations of basic technique but also aims to give the dancer an experience of all facets of ballet, including simple combinations and preparation for turns and jumps. Although not ideal for absolute beginners, those with any kind of dance or stretching/fitness training experience will find the class challenging yet manageable.

Adam Pudney

Born and trained in Australia, Adam moved to London to pursue a career as a professional dancer.

After a long career, both with ballet companies and as a freelance dancer, Adam began teaching in 2007 and has been giving tuition in ballet to dancers ranging from beginners to professional ever since.

The most important element in Adam’s classes, apart from technique, is the dance and performance aspect of ballet, and he attempts to provide his students with the opportunity to incorporate these elements, supported by solid technique, into their training.
