Junior
(Ages 7 - 12)
At Farnborough Academy of Ballet, we proudly follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, guiding young dancers through a structured and inspiring journey across the ballet grades.
Grades 1, 2, and 3 builds on strong foundational technique while fostering confidence, discipline, and resilience, qualities that extend well beyond the dance studio. Students learn in a calm, supportive environment, guided by an experienced teacher who is committed to each child’s growth and wellbeing.
Junior dancers often form lasting friendships, making each class a highlight of the week. From the moment they join, they become part of a close-knit community that celebrates every student’s individual journey.
Alongside ballet, students can explore ISTD Modern Dance, combining jazz and lyrical movement inspired by West End performances. These lively classes help dancers develop coordination, musicality, strength, and flexibility, while encouraging creativity and self-expression in a fun, upbeat atmosphere.
Dancers have opportunities to showcase their progress in our bi-annual show and end-of-term Showcase, and can participate in RAD and ISTD, if desired. All classes take place in our fully equipped studios, featuring professional mirrors and ballet barres, providing a safe and inspiring space for every dancer to flourish.
With small class sizes, each dancer receives the care and guidance they deserve. Spots fill fast, don’t wait to book!
