The Reigate School of Ballet and Commercial Dance provides two adult ballet classes per week - a brand new beginner's class, and an intermediate class for those who have danced previously as children.
Although ballet is considered to be one of the most challenging dance forms to master, it lends itself well to adults as a form of fitness. The classes provide something very different from the usual high octane fitness classes, but this doesn't mean it cannot be challenging. Ballet dance classes provide a perfect way to maintain and improve flexibility, learning specific routines which really helps co-ordination, and finally provides an artistic way of expressing yourself with other like-minded people in a calm but creative environment.
Ballet gives much more however. It teaches us to re-align our posture and move gracefully with poise. We're not expecting you to fly through the doors of your office on Monday morning with a pirouete while holding your Starbucks espresso, or become a princess from the film Enchanted (a film our younger dancers loved to watch at our last movie night). But as we get older, our spine needs more support and ballet helps our posture and hold throughout our body.
Our classes are fun but we work everyone hard so that they feel they have achieved something. In fact, one mum mentioned after just one lesson that she felt a few inches taller after the class! Evidence of extending our back and posture all the way through to the neck.
Our teachers...
Our school has the best ballet teaching staff in the area, and we have always been known for the quality of our teaching, for both children and adults. Led by our principal Miss Evans, she trained at the prestigious Royal Ballet School in Richmond and is also an official ISTD examiner.
We also have Miss Rachel who trained at the Royal ballet School also, and all our teachers are extremely qualified (RSB is the only school with 3 teachers having gained a Licentiate qualification) with years of experience.
