Adult Ballet

Love to dance

At The Odette School of Ballet we offer Adult Ballet classes that strive to create a fun, welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Many of our students are returning to ballet after some time off and others have danced consistently for years - with this big range of experience in the class, we are all there to dance, enjoy movement and progress in our own way. 

Dancing is a great way to exercise in an enjoyable way! Adult Ballet is a place where people can get lost in the music and the moment.

All teachers are registered ballet teachers with the Royal Academy of Dance. We provide high-level of ballet training that is suitable to each individual dancer. Students will get the opportunity to develop classical ballet technique, increase strength and flexibility, build control and coordination, and increase their musicality and performance skills.
