Aspire Overview
A vital extension of Core Plus, Aspire is The National Ballet School’s exclusive development program for aspiring young dancers.
Designed by our eminently qualified Associate Director of Ballet, Ms Jane Inglis-Keen, Aspire is a tailored program of Saturday classes that aims to cultivate well-rounded and multi-talented dancers on their journey to a career in dance. The Saturday extension program includes ballet classes based on the Vaganova method of training, pointe and repertoire classes, and character dance classes based on Alida Segal’s international syllabus.
Suitable for aspiring dancers aged 7 and above interested in extending their ballet training through new methodologies and styles, while building a strong foundation for a career in dance.
