Early childhood is a critical period for developing flexibility and coordination, which is why it is essential to seize the opportunity to provide your child with the proper training during this stage. At the age of 3-6, it is much easier for children to master a split or establish excellent coordination; this is why it is so important to not miss this stage in your child’s development.

Our Tippitoes and PreBallet classes are designed to not only provide your child with a foundation in dance, but also to promote overall health and well-being. By participating in these classes your child will develop concentration and discipline, and build flexibility and strength, which will help to prevent scoliosis and flat feet. Whether your child chooses to pursue a career in dance or another discipline, the benefits of these classes will stay with them forever.

WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US

"The Russian School of Ballet SA gives children an amazing solid grounding in ballet. Teaching the Vaganova style of ballet which is from Russia who were considered the Masters of everything ballet, it teaches from a young age the discipline and strength required to become a world class dancer. Vaganova trained dancers are also more likely to win a coveted dance job in a company overseas, well because throughout Europe the dancers who have Vaganova training usually win these positions."

"Yana and her team of dedicated teachers are so amazing with our kids. They are so passionate about their craft, that as a parent observing the class either online or in a classroom, we feel their love, patience and dedication with every interaction❣️ Yana creates unique opportunities for the kids both locally and internationally to build their confidence and love for dance. I find that so empowering to all the students as their exposure is not limited to just a classroom! Well done Yana and team...onwards and upwards 🙌🏽"

"I’m still in awe of how much Pilates training these little ballet dancers do, how fit they have become and how amazing their core strength is! It was a delight to watch their exams and we look forward to the concert!"

"I have seen a huge difference in my daughter since joining RSB. The classes offer more than just dancing -- it's also about getting stronger and healthier. The strength training and body conditioning has made a phenomenal difference. She says she works hard but loves it!"
