On Pointe Ballet, located in Chertsey, is a prestigious ballet school that offers a range of classes for all ages and abilities. The school is dedicated to providing a fun and supportive environment for students to learn and develop their ballet skills.
For the youngest dancers, On Pointe Ballet offers Baby Ballet and Preschool ballet classes for children aged 2–6 years old. These classes focus on introducing the magic of classical ballet while also teaching the fundamental elements of dance. Handmade props, such as wands and wings, are used to engage young imaginations and create a delightful experience. The classes not only develop coordination and boost confidence but also foster a love for dance in a caring and supportive atmosphere.
All ballet classes at On Pointe Ballet are based on the syllabus of the prestigious Royal Academy of Dance (RAD). The RAD is a globally recognised dance organisation that ensures the high quality of dance teachers. Students who are interested in taking examinations are assessed by an RAD examiner and can achieve various levels of distinction. Some exam results at certain levels can also be converted into UCAS points, which can benefit students when applying for university or higher education courses in the UK.
The RAD registered teachers at On Pointe Ballet follow a strict code of professional conduct and continually update their skills through Continuing Professional Development courses offered by the RAD.
On Pointe Ballet also caters to adult dancers, offering Adult Ballet classes for all levels of experience. These classes are a wonderful way to develop strength, flexibility, and coordination. Whether a beginner or an experienced dancer, everyone is welcome to join these inspiring classes. Each class concludes with a lovely long stretch, leaving participants feeling great about themselves.
For those seeking more personalised instruction, On Pointe Ballet offers one-to-one classes for both students and adults. These classes are tailored to the individual's needs and can focus on technique improvement, exam preparation, show rehearsal, or competition training.
Led by Cindy Corinne Ciunfrini, a highly qualified and experienced dancer and teacher, On Pointe Ballet provides expert instruction to students starting from 18 months old to adults.
