CHARLENE MELLING SCHOOL OF DANCE

Our Grade 1 Ballet class is a wonderful next step for young dancers beginning their formal ballet training. Designed to strengthen coordination, posture, and musicality, this level introduces key ballet fundamentals through structured barre work, centre practice, travelling steps, and simple allegro. Dancers build confidence as they learn correct technique, develop body awareness, and improve balance and control. With a focus on expressive movement and enjoyment, the class encourages each child to grow at their own pace while nurturing their love of ballet. Grade 1 provides the perfect foundation for future progress through the graded syllabus, all within a supportive and positive learning environment.
