Services
Ballet
We have previously partnered with Bellarinas Surbiton to bring inclusive and magical ballet classes to children aged 3+. The use of props combined with both classical and modern music provides a fun and engaging class. We follow both the Royal Academy of Dance syllabi as well as our own bespoke Bellarinas creative framework.
Act development & Dramaturgy
These sessions are aimed at artists wanting additional help on their solo acts. We offer sessions on dance technique, musicality, overall act development and feedback, and dramaturgy.
Choreography
Unleash your creativity and master the art of storytelling through movement in our choreography sessions. We offer custom-made choreographies tailored to your needs or can train instructors in tips and tricks to creating your own routine.
