This class gives dancers the physical foundation to excel in every other discipline.

Vocational Division
For dancers aged 8 to 18 who aspire to a professional dance career. Our Vocational Division delivers rigorous, intensive training across multiple disciplines — by audition only, for an extremely small number of dedicated students.
The programme is designed to be taken alongside home education or flexi-schooling, allowing the kind of daily training commitment a professional pathway demands. Miss Danielle personally mentors every student, shaping their development around individual strengths and goals.
The Programme
Students train in RAD Ballet, Cecchetti Ballet, Contemporary (our own syllabus), Body Conditioning, Pointe, Repertoire and Open Ballet. This is total dance education built for those who want to make it their career.
Audition Entry
Places are awarded through audition. Due to the rigorous training demands, this programme is open to only a very small number of dancers. Ages 8 to 18. Commitment to the full training schedule is essential.
Examinations & Pathways
Students work through RAD and ISTD vocational examinations — including Cecchetti — building an internationally recognised portfolio. Whether the goal is a top vocational school, a degree or a performing career, the pathway starts here.

Individual Lessons with Miss Danielle
En Pointe offers individual tuition for dancers who prefer personalised one-to-one learning. Private lessons are open not just to existing students but also to dancers from outside the school who want focused, expert coaching without joining group classes.
Whether you want to refine technique, prepare for an examination, work through an injury or simply explore dance at your own pace — individual sessions are tailored entirely to you.
