My experience of SDA is that the teachers work with you to achieve whatever your goals/ expectations in ballet are. As a more mature student (mum of two small children), it was a great opportunity for me to go back and complete my Grade 8 RAD ballet exam this year. It was a wonderful way to stretch myself and work towards something. I have also attended adult ballet classes at SDA which are beautifully choreographed, cater for all levels, and always leave me with a feeling of having truly worked my body. The atmosphere in all the classes I’ve joined is friendly and relaxed, whilst still focusing on developing technique and dance quality. Isabella
