Additional Ballet training for dancers who want to take their training further
Our Ballet Enhance classes have been created for VBDancers who have a real enthusiasm for Ballet and would like to complement their regular weekly classes with a different style of focused Ballet 
training.
Led by Miss Bridget, Ballet Enhance develops classical technique, strength, musicality and artistry through creative, concept based training rather than syllabus work.
The classes are particularly suited to dancers who are keen to progress towards vocational level Ballet, would like to challenge themselves further, or may be considering further dance training at college or university in the future.
But dancers do not need to have ambitions for a career in dance to join us. For some, Ballet is simply the style they really love and Ballet Enhance gives them another opportunity to pursue that passion with us.
A different approach to Ballet training
Ballet Enhance is not an additional syllabus class.
Instead, dancers explore the concepts and principles that underpin classical Ballet technique, developing a greater understanding of how and why we move rather than working through a set syllabus of exercises.
Classes explore areas such as alignment and placement, use of turnout, coordination, balance, elevation, musicality, dynamics and artistry, alongside developing the strength and physical understanding needed to support increasingly complex Ballet vocabulary.
Dancers are encouraged to explore movement, apply feedback, problem solve and become more aware of their own bodies and technique.
This approach complements their regular syllabus classes beautifully. Rather than rehearsing more of the same work, Ballet Enhance gives dancers the opportunity to take the principles they are learning and explore them in different ways, helping them become more versatile, thoughtful and confident dancers.
NEW Grade 3 and 4 Ballet Enhance
For this academic year, we are delighted to be extending our Ballet Enhance programme to Grade 3 and 4 dancers for the first time.
This new class introduces our younger graded dancers to this approach at an exciting point in their Ballet training, building strong technical foundations while encouraging curiosity, musicality, artistry and a deeper understanding of their movement.
As dancers progress, Ballet Enhance continues alongside their regular VBDance Ballet classes, supporting their development through the higher grades and towards vocational level.
Our senior Ballet Enhance dancers also work on developing the strength, technique and control required for pointe work as part of their ongoing Ballet training.

Is Ballet Enhance right for my dancer?
Ballet Enhance is for dancers who would like to explore their Ballet training further.
Your dancer might have their sights set on vocational Ballet in the future. They might be particularly motivated by Ballet and keen to challenge themselves. Or Ballet might simply be the class they cannot get enough of.
Ballet Enhance provides an additional training pathway for those dancers who want it, while remaining firmly rooted in the supportive, positive and professional approach they already know at VBDance.
