Open Classes

At Northern Ballet Theatre, all instruction is based on healthy physical principles. Our Open Classes allow students to train with leading professionals in a relaxed and friendly environment. Ballet is a great way to keep fit regardless of age. It improves alignment and helps posture.

This class is perfect for students who have just moved to Leeds who want to keep up their ballet training or adults who have danced to a fairly high standard before and wish to take it up again. The first class each student joins will act as a trial class to assess whether it is the right level class for you. The class is open to men and women.
