The Royal Academy of Dance is the largest examining and teacher education organisation for classical ballet in the world. The syllabus includes free movement and character dance as well as classical ballet and provides an excellent introduction to classical technique.

NURSERY – PRIMARY

Classes are for children 2.5 to 7 years.
The nursery – primary programme uses a combination of resources from La Four Prima Dance; the ‘Dance to your Own Tune’ pre school programme and the new Pre – Primary & Primary syllabus from the Royal Academy of Dance. Children begin to develop core control and stamina and learn fundamental classical vocabulary and steps; through engaging in music and improvisation children are also encouraged to use their imagination and combine steps learned through out class. Our aim is to engage the imagination and harness the enthusiasm of children during the sessions. We focus on listening skills, body awareness and moving to music, the very basics of dance.

GRADE 1 – VOCATIONAL GRADES

At Marble Hill we are able to offer exam tuition from RAD Primary to Advanced 2 level.
