Ballet School

Ballet, the basis of all dance forms, combines the beauty of music with dance. The benefits of learning ballet include development of good posture, self discipline while learning technique and musicality. Ballet training provides young ballet dancers with opportunities to develop grace, fitness and self confidence while enjoying learning to dance professionally or for recreation.

Perform Art Studios Ballet School offers Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet syllabus and exams. The Royal Academy of Dance has an international reputation for ballet training excellence. The purpose of this training and the exams is to develop discipline, confidence in performance, and a personal sense of achievement. Our Ballet exam preparation classes, taught by certified Royal Academy of Dance ballet teachers, specifically prepare students for successful completion of an exam administered by an RAD examiner.

Perform Art Studios offers Royal Academy of Dance & Non Syllabus Ballet classes in North Vancouver for all ages and levels who wish to learn to dance from our First ART preschool dance program to our Pre-Professional/ Half Dance Division.
