Chantry School's Foundation Associate Programme for Classical Ballet is for young dancers aged 18 and under. It is our advanced level programme for students who are looking to refine and develop their classical ballet technique. It is called "Foundation" since classical ballet is the foundation dance technique for all dance students who are serious about their art. It is suitable for any dance student who is looking for additional intensive classical ballet technique training each month. |
