Professional Ballet Training

Classical method. Individual attention.

At T&Y Ballet Studio, classical training is rooted in the Vaganova tradition and guided by the experience of professional ballet artists. Our approach combines academic technique, individual coaching, classical repertoire, pointe work where appropriate, conditioning, musical interpretation, and stage preparation.

Beyond technical precision, we place particular emphasis on movement quality, artistic intelligence, musical sensitivity, and the ability to communicate through dance. Students benefit from the direct involvement of the artists who founded the school, alongside our experienced ballet faculty.

Our objective is not simply to develop technically accomplished dancers, but to cultivate thoughtful, expressive artists with a lasting foundation in classical ballet.

Little Dancers

Ages 3–6

A thoughtful introduction to ballet through music, movement, and imagination. Young children begin to develop coordination, posture, rhythm, and awareness of space in a structured, encouraging class. Age-appropriate exercises introduce the habits of listening, concentration, and working together, while allowing children to enjoy the expressive possibilities of movement. Our faculty guide each child with patience and clear demonstration, laying the foundations for further classical training.

Junior Ballet

Ages 7–10

Junior Ballet establishes the foundations of classical technique through consistent, carefully guided practice. Students work on posture, placement, coordination, strength, and musical phrasing, progressing towards more complex combinations as their understanding develops. Individual correction helps dancers build clarity and confidence, while expressive exercises encourage an attentive relationship with music. The programme supports both technical progress and the focus, responsibility, and enjoyment that sustain long-term learning.

Intermediate Ballet

Ages 11–14

Intermediate Ballet develops the technical control and artistic awareness needed for more advanced classical work. Students refine alignment, coordination, strength, flexibility, and the quality of transitions, alongside turns, jumps, and increasingly complex combinations. Musical phrasing and expressive intention remain part of each stage of training. Placement reflects previous experience and readiness, with faculty helping each dancer identify a suitable level and a clear direction for further development.

Pre-Professional Ballet & Competition Program

Ages 11+

Advanced Classical Training. Individual Artistic Development. International Competition Preparation.

Our Pre-Professional Ballet & Competition Program is designed for dedicated young dancers who demonstrate the motivation, discipline, and readiness required for advanced classical ballet training.

Rooted in the Vaganova method, the program provides a structured and demanding educational environment guided by experienced ballet educators and former professional artists with international stage experience.

Training focuses on the progressive development of classical technique, correct placement, coordination, pointe work where appropriate, strength, musicality, classical repertoire, and artistic expression. Individual coaching and carefully selected repertoire help students refine their technique, interpretation, stage presence, and artistic identity.

International Competition Preparation

Competition preparation is an integral part of our advanced training pathway. Selected dancers are prepared for recognised international ballet competitions, including Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), ADC IBC, Global Dance Open (GDO), and Universal Ballet Competition (UBC).

Preparation may include classical variations, Pas de Deux where appropriate, contemporary repertoire, technical refinement, performance coaching, and individual artistic guidance.

Participation is based on each dancer’s technical readiness, artistic development, commitment, and faculty recommendations. Competition is a valuable part of training, but not its sole purpose: our priority is to develop technically secure, musically sensitive, disciplined, and expressive young artists.

A Long-Term Artistic Pathway

Our Pre-Professional Program prepares committed students for sustained development in classical ballet and, where appropriate, auditions for more advanced training opportunities. We value consistent progress over short-term results, balancing high expectations with individual guidance and respect for each dancer’s stage of development.

Beyond technical training, students develop an understanding of classical repertoire, musical interpretation, stage etiquette, and the artistic responsibility that comes with performing ballet at an advanced level.

Adult Ballet

Ages 18+ · Beginner to advanced

Classical Training at Every Stage.

Our adult ballet classes offer a thoughtful introduction to classical technique as well as opportunities for experienced dancers to refine their movement, musicality, and artistry. Rooted in traditional ballet principles, classes emphasise alignment, coordination, strength, and the expressive qualities of classical dance.

Whether beginning ballet for the first time or returning to previous training, students are welcomed into a structured and encouraging environment where individual progress is valued. Pointe work is considered separately, according to previous training and readiness.

Private Ballet Coaching

Individual coaching

Individual coaching offers focused work on the details that shape a dancer’s technique and performance. Sessions may address placement, pointe work, variations, repertoire, musical interpretation, or preparation for an audition or performance.

Faculty tailor the work to the dancer’s experience, current needs, and artistic goals. Alignment, strength, and control develop alongside performance preparation and stage confidence.

All sessions take place within the artistic direction of the studio. Please contact the studio to discuss the focus and availability of coaching.
