Dance class is a blast!

The Nursery 2 Ballet syllabus continues to develop the student's proficiency in the rudimentary steps and skills of Classical Ballet and movement. At this level, music appreciation and improvisation focuses on music dynamics including rhythms. Students are exposed to a rich array of music genres. Class content is based on the appropriate development of skills for this age group. Students begins at the barre with a warm-up that includes all the major muscle groups. The exercises at this level focus on teaching the understanding of the dancer's body and posture.  Exercises include Port de Bras, Centre Practice and an introduction to steps that become the building blocks for Allegro.

Uniform: The visual appearance of a dancer is as much a part of the art of Dance as the movement itself. Classroom attire is particularly important. It must allow the dancer complete freedom to experience movement while maintaining safety. It must also allow the instructor and observer the opportunity to view the alignment of the body and the movement itself. At the London School of Dance, we maintain a strict policy regarding the wearing of regulation uniforms and correct grooming. Please see below for the required uniform for this level.
