At Gibsons Dance Centre, ballet is the foundation of all dance training. We encourage all students who are serious about dance to take part in at least 1 ballet class per week. The discipline, technique and strength acquired in Ballet are utilized in all other forms of dance and help to improve the over all dance ability. At GDC three syllabi are taught. The I.S.T.D. (Imperial Society Teachers of Dance) and the R.A.D. (Royal Academy of Dance) and the Vaganova method. Full examination and assessments in both RA & ISTD are offered at GCD and highly encouraged. For those pursuing professional careers, performing or teaching examinations are necessary. Our classes in Ballet are offered from the pre-school age up to adult, novice to pre professional and also vocational studies. In the Pre Primary & Primary programs a love of dance is fostered for beginner dancers with a strong emphasis on musicality, motor skill development, balance, self expression and creativity.
