If you already have some ballet experience, perhaps you learnt as a child and want to keep developing your skills, this friendly and supportive class is for you. Each week, Claire will help you build strength, confidence and musicality, while refining technique and posture in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
Perfect for those who know the basics and are ready to progress, this termly class offers the chance to move with grace, enjoy beautiful music, and connect with others who share a love of dance. Wear something comfortable you can move in, with soft shoes or ballet pumps, and bring a bottle of water. Payment is for the full term at the time of booking.
If you are uncertain if this class will suit your skill level or you are nervous to return to dance, please do contact the LEARN coordinator for an informal chat to help you decide if the class is for you.
Please note we cannot accept weekly drop-ins, payment is for the whole term.

Waiting List & Re-Selling Tickets
While we have a no refund and no exchange policy, the Box Office facilitates a Waiting List for events which are sold out, and a potential Re-Sale list of tickets that customers can no longer use. If an event is listed as sold out, please phone the Box Office to add your name and phone number to the Waiting List.
If you can no longer use your ticket(s), please phone the Box Office to discuss. We may be able to sell them to another customer if the event is sold out. These tickets will not be for purchase online, but will be offered to customers already on the Waiting List or who enquire after the show has sold out.
If some or all of your tickets are re-sold, they will be refunded to you minus the non-refundable £3 commission on each ticket.
We do not guarantee any sales via this process, and we will only attempt to re-sell tickets when all other seats have been sold and the event is listed as sold out.
Essential Companions
For patrons who require an Essential Companion to access our venue, we offer one complimentary ticket per patron with access needs. This is available when booking in person, on the telephone, or online. Before you book for the first time, please give the Box Office a call or email us to register for this.
Essential Companion tickets are intended for customers requiring additional support. This must be due to disability-related needs, significant and in excess of what could be reasonably expected of family or friends already accompanying you. Please note: Essential Companions must be able to provide adequate assistance in the event of an emergency or evacuation.

You are welcome to bring babies under 24 months free of charge, seated on your lap, one baby per lap. You do not need tickets for babies and you do not need to notify us. Anyone aged 2+ requires their own ticket. Young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible person aged 18+.
