We are delighted to offer adult dancers an opportunity to attend a repertoire workshop as part of our Summer 2025 programme, based on Giselle.

The workshop will start off with a ballet technique class, before moving on to learn a piece of repertoire from Giselle, featuring live piano accompaniment.

For weekly classes that focus on solo choreography from the classic ballets, please refer to the RAD syllabus Discovering Repertoire.

“Thanks for a wonderful afternoon. The music, teacher, facilities, and experience were excellent and I would recommend to anyone. Can’t wait to attend another.“
