Caballero Classical Ballet

Caballero Classical Ballet is a renowned dance school located in Frankston, Victoria. With a strong emphasis on nurturing and supporting each student, the school aims to promote a deep love and understanding of dance. The dedicated and highly qualified teachers at Caballero Classical Ballet ensure that every student receives excellent training, allowing them to reach their full potential.

What sets Caballero Classical Ballet apart from other dance schools is the prestigious Enrico Cecchetti Final Diploma qualification held by three of their staff members. This qualification exemplifies the high standard of training and expertise offered at the school. The fully equipped, modern, and professional studios provide the perfect environment for learning and growth.

To cater to the individual needs of each student, Caballero Classical Ballet maintains small class sizes. This allows for personalised attention and support, ensuring that students thrive and make progress in their dance journey. Additionally, the school offers Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), a unique body conditioning and strengthening programme developed by Marie Walton-Mahon. PBT enables students to develop muscle memory and achieve their personal best.

Caballero Classical Ballet offers a range of classes to suit different preferences and levels of expertise. For those interested in classical ballet, the school follows the Cecchetti Method, which focuses on grace, balance, and line. The syllabus is designed to teach coordination, poise, confidence, rhythmical sense, and musicality. From 3-year-old children to those pursuing the Enrico Cecchetti Final Diploma, there are classes available for all levels.

One of the most iconic elements of classical ballet, Pointe Technique, is also taught at Caballero Classical Ballet. Students undergo a year of pre-pointe training to strengthen their muscles and prepare them for learning Pointe Technique. This ensures safety and proper technique in this specialised aspect of ballet.

In addition to classical ballet, Caballero Classical Ballet offers classes in contemporary dance and jazz dance. Contemporary dance combines modern and post-modern dance elements with classical ballet to explore new forms of expression. Jazz dance is rhythmic and stylised, emphasising rhythm, stylistic flair, and creative movement. Both styles require flexibility, stamina, and strength.

For those interested in performing and competing, Caballero Classical Ballet offers competition coaching. Students have the opportunity to perform at various Eisteddfods throughout the year and receive private coaching from the experienced teachers. Solos, duos, trios, and troupe performances are all options available to students.

No matter the dance style or level of expertise, Caballero Classical Ballet strives to create a welcoming and inclusive community. With their dedication to excellence in training and their passion for dance, the school provides a nurturing environment for students to grow and succeed in their dance journey.
