ballet lessons
Our studio offers annual examinations from Rosette Grade 1 through to Advanced plus Solo Performance Diploma. We also offer Baby Ballet Classes as a perfect introduction for your little one.
Ballet is an important base for most dance disciplines, and the NZAMD Ballet syllabus is designed to allow students to progress without pressure, each grade being of a length that makes it attractive for the once / twice a week student, as well as being progressively challenging for the more committed student.
NZAMD BALLET encourages students, from the age of 4, the development of strong musicality and expressive port de bras with dynamics and energy throughout the allegro section.
Baby Ballet can be started from 2 years old. It teaches your little one to have fun through movement while socialising in a fun and support environment.
