BALLET AT SCD WITH THE ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL
SCD is proud to be affiliated to The Royal Ballet School
SCD's Ballet programme, affiliated to The Royal Ballet School, takes a uniquely holistic approach to the learning of dance and is taught to children in year 1 upwards.
Alongside performance skills, students learn about the art form as a whole, including repertoire, choreography and appreciation.
Students will have the opportunity to be assessed and to receive a certificate from The Royal Ballet School every 2 years, but the focus will be based on providing high quality training, not on student assessment.
New students joining in 2025/2026 may not join a class which is due to assess in the same year. New students may join a class assessing in 2026/2027 and may be invited to take part if the teacher feels that they are ready and the required number of hours have been completed.

Non-Assessment class uniform
For children who are not in assessment classes, we recommend leotards, tights, leggings or tight fitting clothing - similar to the uniform above. This helps our teachers to clearly see development, lines and shapes of the body and ensures children are safe to dance.
For dancers who enjoy wearing ballet skirts, please ensure these are short in length so as not to get in the way during classes.
Ballet Shoes
NO DRESS UP SHOES PLEASE
We recommend the following shoes which can be bought in your children's shoes size.
LEVEL 1&2 PINK
Hair
Long hair MUST be tied back into a bun, with wispy strands away from the face. We don't mind a messy bun - but dancers are much more able to turn and focus without their hair tickling their face or their pony tail whipping into their eyes!
