Our Classes and Timetable

Our Classes

Classes at KT Leigh Dance Academy are tailored to different age groups, following the TDSC syllabus for Ballet, Tap, and Modern exams and Acrobatics Arts for our Acro classes and examinations.

Exams help develop technique, artistry, and movement quality while providing goals for dancers to work towards.

Baby Ballet

Our Baby Ballet class is designed for preschool children aged 2.5 to 4 years old. By using props like scarves, fairy wands, pom poms, and ribbons, we inspire our youngest dancers to explore their creativity while enhancing rhythm, musicality, and coordination. We follow the TDSC Pre-School syllabus, allowing children to participate in their first Preschool Ballet exams.

Our Minis Technique class is suitable for children aged 4 - 6 years who are in Reception and Year 1. In this class children are taught Ballet, and Modern Jazz and Lyrical technique is also introduced. We often use props in this class such as scarves, ribbons and flower petals to encourage the children to story-tell through dance.

We focus on the TDSC syllabus where children can take their Pre-Primary Ballet exams.

We follow the Acrobatic Arts programme, where dancers learn the correct progressions in Acro and take their Acro exams. Classes include Mini Acro for ages 4-7 and Junior/Intermediate Acro for ages 8-14.

Students are taught Acro Troupes in this class that can then be entered into competitions and performed in shows and events.

To join our Acro class, children must already attend their age group technique class in Ballet as Ballet is the core of all subjects.
