Nicola Peros, the driving force behind Nicola Peros Ballet Academy, has a message for the sports community.
Nicola Peros Ballet Academy, founded by Nicola herself—an RAD Registered Teacher—offers top-notch classical ballet training for both children and adults in Barry and Cardiff. The academy follows the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus, catering to levels from Pre-Primary up to Intermediate and Advanced.
The academy boasts a solid record of helping students secure spots in top-tier ballet programmes and vocational schools. Many have joined Associates Programmes with renowned institutions like Ballet Cymru, Ballet Boost, Kings International, Cecchetti, The Royal Ballet School, and English National Ballet School. While it has had connections with National Dance Company Wales in the past, the school is currently nominating students for their Associate programme.
Nicola prioritises creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment at the academy. Emphasising the importance of good technique from day one, she ensures students advance gradually, minimising the risk of strain or stress on their bodies.
One unique aspect of the academy is its use of a method developed by Marie Walton-Mahon. This approach focuses on muscle memory, helping students grasp the depths of ballet training and achieve their personal best.
Classes run in both Barry and Cardiff with updated timetables available for those interested. The academy offers sessions ranging from Pre-Primary to Advanced levels, including Vocational and Non-syllabus classes. There’s also an Adult ballet class and the popular Silver Swans class for those aged 55 and above who want to start ballet or rekindle their passion for dance.
Fees are charged monthly and vary by class level, with discounts available for siblings and students taking multiple classes per week. These discounts can range from 20% to 80%, depending on the number of classes attended.
Nicola Peros Ballet Academy is committed to delivering classical ballet training at its finest, focusing on technique, artistry, and personal growth. Whether you're aiming to be a professional dancer or simply want to enjoy ballet's many benefits, you'll find a nurturing and inspiring environment at Nicola Peros Ballet Academy.
