Learn a famous Ballet variation - Central London

Join us at The Place, world famous dance studios, for an evening of inspiring movement and work towards learning a famous variation. These classes aim to help those with some experience and knowledge of ballet work towards learning famous repertoire and variations from iconic classical ballets.

The classes focus on one variation every four weeks, giving students the time to develop skill, technique and artistry. We teach you the variation, exactly as the professionals do it, so you can challenge yourself and dance to your hearts content! However, for those struggling, we always have a simplified version of the steps, so don’t be intimidated and have a go!

You will learn ballet terminology and moves, but we also have a strong focus on your individual artistry, expression and style. Learn how to tell a story through your movement and connect with your audience. We want you to come to class and dance with us, not just train with us!

So, if you have always wanted to learn some repertoire, at a level suited to your own needs, now is your chance! Each variation will be taught over the course of 4 weeks, however, you are welcome to join a single session as a drop in if you prefer.

Upcoming variations include:

Odalisque pas de trois 2nd variation - Le Corsaire

Giselle Act 1 Variation - Giselle

Gazmatti 's Variation - La Bayadere

Sylvia Variation Act 3 - Sylvia

Note: Class suitable for those with some ballet experience, those who danced as a child and are returning to ballet and intermediate and advanced students (pointe shoes welcome). If you are a beginner who would like to attend one of our ballet classes, please check out our other events.
