Rachelle School Of Ballet

The Rachelle School of Ballet meets at St Lawrence's Church Hall, High Street, Abbots Langley on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Times of classes and days vary according to the age of the children.

It is open to children aged 4 years and upwards.

The Cecchetti Method of classical ballet which is taught in the school offers a complete and well-structured system of training which caters for the small child through to the professional dancer and the future teacher.

Examinations are entered but enjoyment is of prime importance for a young child beginning to dance. When the children are ready, the syllabus for Class Examinations and Performance Awards is followed and these provide ideal opportunities for those attending classes for recreational purposes on a once-a-week basis. For children wishing to study in greater depth there are the more technically demanding Grade Examinations. In all the children's work a steady build-up and safe practice are of great importance.

The Vocational Graded Examination syllabus is followed for older students.
