Our Classes
Here at Perfect Pointes School of Dance, we follow the Professional Teachers of Dancing (PTD) syllabus in Ballet, Tap and Jazz. The organisation are accredited by the government meaning that all exams taken from Grade One earn students UCAS points to help gain entry into university. All classes are for one hour, ensuring that students have ample time to warm up correctly and get the most out of their class, whether that be for exams or show work.

Mr Paws
Our Mr. Paws classes are specially designed for children aged 2 to 6 years, providing a fun and nurturing environment for young dancers.
We start with the Mr. Paws 1st Steps class, tailored for little ones as young as 2 years old, where they begin learning Ballet and Tap through engaging games and activities.
The Mr. Paws Combined Ballet and Tap class introduces students to the pre-primary syllabus, laying the groundwork for their future dance education. In this class, they begin to develop essential skills such as posture, balance, coordination, and moving to music. However, the most important lessons our youngsters learn are building confidence, working as part of a team, and discovering the joy of dancing.
Ballet
Ballet is the cornerstone of all dance forms, and at Perfect Pointes, we emphasize its importance by encouraging the majority of our students to take at least one Ballet class each week. Our Ballet program begins with the Mr. Paws Syllabus, designed to instill the basics, and progresses through to Advanced Level under the PTD (Perfect Training Development) framework.
As students advance through the syllabus, they not only enhance their overall fitness, strength, and body alignment but also work on developing their individual dance style and musicality, which are vital in shaping a well-rounded dancer. Upon reaching the Intermediate Foundation level and beyond, students begin focusing on more advanced techniques, such as Pointe work, leaps, and flexibility, which are crucial for their growth and success in Ballet and other dance forms.


Tap
Tap dancing is an energetic and exhilarating way to stay fit while having fun. It builds self-confidence, hones timing, and allows dancers to cultivate their unique style.
At Perfect Pointes, our Tap classes begin with the Mr. Paws Combined class, where students study Pre-Primary techniques, and progress through to Advanced Level with our PTD (Perfect Training Development) program.
Jazz
Jazz Dance offers a range of different styles incorporated into one style. Jazz Dance allows students to improve their flexibility, their ability to isolate their body, and to adapt to a range of dance styles.
At Perfect Pointes, we provide our students with the opportunity to explore a diverse array of styles through our Jazz classes. Our curriculum covers various elements, including lyrical and contemporary, hip hop, disco, and even the Charleston, ensuring a well-rounded and exciting dance experience.
