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.
Children's Classes
Introduction to ballet: 8-11 year olds
This class introduces young students to dance and teaches basic ballet technique in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Students will develop a greater sense of body awareness, rhythm, flexibility and co-ordination as well as learning exercises to aid proper body alignment- essential for all forms of dance. Students from this class can either progress onto more intensive courses or continue in the open division by joining one of our more advanced classes as they get older.
Thursdays 17.30-18.30

Open Classes
These classes are for anyone who wishes to start or continue ballet training. Depending on your schedule you can attend as many or as few classes as you like and we have flexible payment schemes to suit your needs.
Adult Beginners Ballet – 18 and over only
An ideal place to start for people who have always wanted to try ballet but didn’t have the chance when younger. This is a relaxed approach with a solid introduction to ballet technique including barre work and special exercises. The class is open to men and women.
Intermediate Class
A faster paced class where the exercises will be set at an Intermediate standard. The classes will incorporate barre work, centre practise and body conditioning. 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.
Men’s Intermediate Class
As the intermediate class but with a focus on the development of the male dancer. Following from this class is the men’s variations class- this is at an advanced level and is by invitation only.
