Week course designed specifically for adult beginners who have always wanted to try ballet but never had the opportunity.

Our classes are designed to cater to the individual needs and goals of each student, providing a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where dancers can thrive and make progress.

We are proud to offer pre-vocational training for dancers who are looking to pursue a professional career in ballet. Our rigorous technical training, artistic expression, and focus on flexibility, alignment, and coordination prepare dancers for the demands of the industry. With our strong foundation, improved technique, and fostered discipline and love for ballet, our students have gone on to achieve great success.

Nicholson School of Dance also offers private lessons and dancers' screenings. Private lessons provide individualised attention and customised training for dancers who are looking for extra support or want to focus on specific areas of improvement. Dancers' screenings are a valuable opportunity to discuss future training possibilities and receive guidance on the appropriate class for your personal situation and needs.

In addition, our Associate programme provides a unique opportunity for talented dancers to receive specialised training and guidance from experienced professionals. We are proud to have a high success rate in our Associate programme and have helped many dancers secure places at both lower and upper school levels.

Our beautiful studios in Digbeth are equipped with sprung flooring, mirrors, and barres to provide the best environment for learning and practising ballet. We also offer studio hire for those who are looking for a space to practise or host their own dance-related events.
