We are delighted to announce that our first exam candidates did brilliantly with a Distinction and a high Merit. Really proud of the girls who loved it so much they said, "We wish it could be an exam every day!"

Roll on Grade 1 !

RAD Primary Exam

Butterfly Ballet entered their first set of pupils to take their RAD Primary exam in March and were delighted to recently learn that the children were awarded a Distinction and a Merit.  It was a brilliant experience for the children who immensly enjoyed visiting the headquarters of the RAD and I am very proud of the hard work they put in.

Happy New Year!

We hope you have had a wonderful Christmas break and a great new year. Classes start back the week commencing Monday 6th January and we look forward to a busy term ahead.

Butterfly Ballet is 2 years old this month having started up with 6 pupils in January 2012. I have loved teaching and thank you very much for your support which has enabled her to fly!

Autumn term return

Welcome back to the new term!
Historically the Autumn term is a very busy term and this year is no exception. It's such a delight to see all the familiar faces and also welcome lots of new ones.

This year, due to demand there are more classes in the timetable, if you would like to arrange a free trial class then do not hesitate to get in touch.

Summer classes

If you are at a loose end over the Summer then Butterfly Ballet is holding pay as you go classes starting this Weds 14th August and running every Weds until September.

Classes will be held at St Osmunds Church Hall, Castelnau, next door to the Barnes Library and there is a car park behind the Hall.  Buses that run to St Osmunds are 32, 72, 209, 485, 283. The stop is Washington Road

The timings are:
Baby Ballet - 3.30pm - 4.00pm      (18mths - 2.5yrs)
Nursery Ballet - 4.00pm - 4.30pm  (2.5 yrs - 4yrs)

You do not need to be a member of Butterfly Ballet and there is no obligation, it's just to offer something to do over the Summer break.

Due to the nature of it being holiday time if you would like to attend a class then just send me an email at info@butterflyballet.co.uk to make sure the class has enough attendance to run.

There are also 1 or 2 places left in the Cinderella workshop on 28th August for children over age 4.

RAD Children's summer classes

A wonderful week was spent at the Royal Academy of Dance teaching the children's summer classes. Each child participated in ballet classes as well as creative classes and at the end of the week we did a little performance for the parents.  Children travelled from as far as Belgium and France to attend and it was a brilliant week.

I love teaching at the RAD, the place is steeped in history and you also never know who you are going to bump into!!!
