Join Our Ballet Family: Admissions & Programs

How We Train

We teach ballet as a lifelong skill, not just a performance piece. Our foundation is built on the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabus. This ensures that what you learn here is internationally recognized and technically sound.

We provide specialized training for different stages:

• Little Dancers (Ages 4-7): We use storytelling and movement games to teach the absolute basics. It is about listening, waiting for turns, and developing spinal alignment.
• Graded Academic Term (Grades 1-6): For students ready to go deeper, this is where we focus on muscle isolation, turnout, and the core engagement needed for future pointe work. These are intensive, twice-weekly sessions.
• Adults (18+): No prior experience? No problem. Our adult program is a mix of fitness and classical technique. We focus on neuroplasticity, core strength, and the joy of dance, all in an environment that welcomes every body type.

The TLFCB Difference

We do not cut corners. Our studios are equipped with sprung floors to protect developing knees and ankles. We believe in the Montessori-style approach, meaning our mixed-age classes allow younger students to learn by observing the older, more experienced ones.

Admissions FAQ

Do I need a uniform? Yes. We enforce a strict dress code (leotard, tights, leather ballet shoes) because, in ballet, your teacher needs to see your form to ensure you are training safely.

Can I watch my child's class? We hold dedicated 'Open Class' weeks where parents are invited into the studio to watch the progress, connect with teachers, and understand the work happening in the room.

What if I have never danced? Our adult beginner classes are designed specifically for you. We focus on tactile corrections and steady progress, stripping away the intimidation factor often found in dance studios.
