Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative program designed to help students to understand the training of muscle memory in order to achieve their personal best in Classical Ballet.
Using a gym ball and resistance band, children begin to gain an understanding of different muscles groups and reinforces their technique and strength required for turn out and core stability. Developed in Australia by an experienced ballet teacher the programme is currently practised in over 40 countries worldwide and has produced excellent results.
All Upper Juniors, Intermediates & Seniors do PBT as part of their Ballet training.
What is Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) ?
Contemporary and Lyrical are expressive styles of dance that combines elements of several dance genres including Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and Lyrical. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.
Studying this style helps the students to connect emotions with dance steps, resulting in a more connected and emotional performance. Lyrical & Contemporarya are important dance styles in today's professional industry.
All children in Grade 3 Modern and above have the chance to study Contemporary and Lyrical.
