Course Content
Ballet, Pointe & Virtuosity
Ballet, pointe and virtuosity classes will explore classical technique to deepen students’ physical understanding of the form, strengthen technical skills and develop musicality and expressivity.
Contemporary
Classes exploring a range of contemporary techniques will be delivered to develop a strong physical understanding of contemporary dance, alongside improvisation and creative tools to support the development of the individual artistic voice.
‘I feel like I’ve evolved so much over these three days, both technically and my way of thinking. Thank you so much!’
‘I have felt really inspired after this course and I have loved things more than I usually would. All the teachers have been really friendly and amazing and the musicians have really changed how I approach my movement. I hope to improve harder techniques in ballet and continue to test my creativity to see where I can go’

Rambert School’s classes and courses are delivered with a gender-neutral approach, respecting and accepting the gender identities of our community. Through this work, we are redefining the stereotypical male and female technical movement elements, to allow for inclusivity in teaching and performance while widening artistic possibilities and challenging long held attitudes and behaviours within the teaching and dance community. All participants take part in both pointe and virtuosity classes. If you have pointe shoes, please do bring them to the course. If you have not worked en pointe before, you will work in these classes en demi-pointe.
