Our Dance Days
What are dance days?
These Dance Days are thoughtfully designed to support dancers both physically and artistically. Combining Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) with classical ballet training, the day allows time to prepare the body carefully, work in detail at the barre and in the centre, and bring everything together through enchaînement. Classes take place on a professional Harlequin dance floor in a peaceful North Norfolk setting, with small numbers to allow for individual attention and thoughtful correction. The day is designed as a complete experience, with a relaxed lunch included — served by the pool if the weather allows, or in the dining room.
