About Our Classes
RAD Ballet
Royal Academy of Dance
Aspire Dance Academy is dedicated to providing a welcoming dance environment where individuals can build and enhance their creative and artistic abilities through the love of dance.
At Aspire we follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) classical ballet syllabus.
The RAD offers an internationally-recognised portfolio of examinations designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities, outlining a progressive structure for learning and achievement in dance.
Students can start from the age of 3, move through Pre-Primary and Primary levels and then into eight Graded and six Vocational Graded levels. All examinations offered at Aspire are optional and don't begin until age 6.
Students at Aspire are also given the opportunity to take part in our annual show in December. We love seeing the students' confidence and enjoyment shine on stage.
Please contact us for more information on classes available to you.
Silver Swans
From The Royal Academy of Dance
Our Silver Swans classes have been developed by the RAD so adults, no matter their experience, can take part in ballet classes. Whether you’re an experienced dancer, have briefly dabbled or are a complete novice, we welcome all learners of any ability or age to try out Silver Swans.
The health related benefits of dance are well documented as scientific research has established that 75% of the factors affecting quality of life and longevity are lifestyle related. Research has positioned dance ahead of other physical activity in terms of the extent of its health promoting benefits. Including: improving balance, slowing down ageing, increasing cognitive ability, strengthening muscles and increasing flexibility (to name a few!), but perhaps more important are the psychological benefits.
Try Silver Swans now and enjoy a new way of keeping fit and active to beautiful classical music.
Pilates
Mat Pilates
Pilates took off in the 1920's, as Joseph Pilates combined controlled movements with a focus on breathing and alignment; developing an exercise technique for building strength and flexibility, while improving balance, coordination and endurance.
At Aspire, our intimate classes are all about attention to detail, moving in the correct way, breathing with every move, all given with specific direction to help you understand the activation and engagement needed to get the most out of the class.
Expect to experience a full body workout, as we work from the inside out.
Whether you're experienced in Pilates, beginner or somewhere in-between, all our classes are mixed ability. Each class works with the ball, band, hoop and roller accordingly, to target specific muscle groups.
