Royal Academy of Dance Ballet Training
At FirstPointe, we offer ballet training following the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, one of the world's most recognised and established systems of ballet education.
The RAD syllabus provides students with a structured and progressive approach to learning ballet, developing technique, musicality, coordination, strength, performance quality and an appreciation for the art form.
More than learning steps
Our RAD classes are designed not simply to prepare students for examinations, but to build a strong foundation for their development as dancers.
As students progress through the syllabus, they are introduced to increasingly complex movements and concepts while developing greater body awareness, musicality, coordination and confidence. We also place emphasis on understanding how and why movements are performed, rather than simply reproducing exercises.

A progressive pathway
Students begin with age-appropriate foundational training before progressing through the RAD levels as they develop the necessary skills and readiness. Each level builds upon the previous one, allowing students to develop their technique progressively and safely.
We believe that students progress best when they have clear goals and a strong technical foundation to build upon. For this reason, RAD examinations form an integral part of our ballet programme.

RAD Examination Progression
Students are expected to work towards their examinations as part of their progression through the RAD levels. Each examination provides an opportunity to consolidate the skills learned at that stage, identify areas for development and ensure that students have developed the necessary foundation before moving on to more advanced work.
Progression is therefore not based solely on age or how long a student has been attending classes. Students need to demonstrate sufficient technical readiness before advancing to the next level.

Ballet is for Everyone
At FirstPointe, we believe that age should never be a barrier to pursuing a passion for dance. Whether you are returning to ballet after many years, beginning for the first time, or looking to continue developing your technique as an adult, there is a place for you here.
We believe that everyone learns and grows at a different pace. With the right guidance, commitment and consistency, adult dancers can develop strong technique, confidence, artistry, and achieve far more than they may have imagined.
