BalletBesque Professional ISTD Ballet Classes taught by two ex-Royal Ballet Students Carla and Kellie. Classes are in Crowborough and Hadlow Down, East Sussex.

Classes are in Crowborough Community Centre and Hadlow Down Village Hall, East Sussex. Classes start from 3 years with preschool ballet, then Pre-Primary through to Advanced following the ISTD Classical Ballet syllabus. Children are able to take exams if they wish, or just come for fun! We also run Adult Ballet classes in Crowborough for those wanting to continue their ballet training for a hobby after 18 (with no upper age limit!)
or even to get their ballet bodies and flexibility back after a few years off! We can also offer Private Lessons for any age at any Grade/Level in Crowborough. Kellie and Carla met in 1992 —when we were just 11 years old at The Royal Ballet School in London. Kellie continued her ISTD ballet training, and in July 2015 Kellie took her
Intermediate ISTD Ballet exam and passed with distinction in order to take her Diploma in Dance Education with the ISTD. NOW Completed May 2021! Carla continued her ballet training with The Royal Ballet School until she was 14, then moved to The English National Ballet School, and then had a career with the Hong Kong Ballet! Carla has also studied Pilates and Aerobics. Carla is currently taking her Diploma in Dance Education with the ISTD. Kellie and Carla perform with the Southern Youth Ballet Company in Eastbourne and performed in 'The Nutcracker' in December 2015, and with
Gilbert and Suillivan in 'H.M.S. Pinafore' in May 2016.

Coordination does not come that naturally to some children - and early dance classes can massively help with identifying any issues or helping them practice early and gain agility and confidence.

Enrol your child from age 3 to discover movement to music 🎶 and rhythm 🥁 and give them the best start for PE at school and/or learning instruments 🎸

Don’t take them home to beg for a device or the TV and drive you crazy. Bring them to dance classes to make friends and count with me. We count and march, and discuss colours of props and sing along!
