Senior
Ages 13 - 18
At Farnborough Academy of Ballet, we are proud to be a Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) studio, dedicated to helping every dancer reach their personal best through expert, high-quality training.
As students progress to the Senior level, they experience a deep sense of achievement and pride as they advance through the upper ballet grades. Pointe preparation and pointe work are introduced thoughtfully, supported by Vocational classes to develop the technical strength, control, and confidence needed for safe progression onto pointe.
To complement ballet, Senior dancers can also study ISTD Modern, Jazz, Tap, and Contemporary classes, providing a versatile, well-rounded dance education. We also proudly offer Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) classes, a world-renowned system designed to enhance alignment, strength, and injury prevention while boosting overall dance performance.
Our Senior programme focuses not only on technical skill, but on nurturing confident, expressive, and motivated young dancers. Students are encouraged to set goals, work hard, and take pride in their progress, whether through regulated RAD and ISTD exams, our bi-annual show, or end-of-term Showcase.
All classes take place in our beautiful, fully equipped studios, complete with mirrors and ballet barres, creating a focused, inspiring environment where artistry, discipline, and lifelong friendships flourish.

With small class sizes, each dancer receives the care and guidance they deserve. Spots fill fast, don’t wait to book!
