A demonstration class at the Adult Ballet Centre showcase is a short, curated ballet class performed on stage in front of an audience. It's designed to "showcase the training and progression" of dancers in a class format, rather than a traditional ballet company repertoire, choreographed performance.

Here’s what it typically includes:

- Dancers Participate in Unison: Dancers follow along, showing barre or centre work as a group.

- Level-Appropriate Work: Each level demonstrates exercises/dancing suited to their training, from foundational movements for lower levels to more complex sequences for higher levels.

- Performance Element: Even though it’s a “class,” it’s polished, confident, and presented like a performance—think of it as ballet class meets stage show.

Why Include a Demonstration Class?

- Gives dancers a chance to shine without needing to learn a full dance routine

- Helps friends and family see what dancers are actually learning, showing the beautiful and amazing progress that you have all achieved.

- Provides structure and confidence for dancers who are new to performing, we are there with you all the way and you are all together.

- Works well for larger groups or multiple levels sharing the stage

The repertoire at the Adult Ballet Centre Showcase refers to the choreographed ballet and contemporary pieces performed by adult dancers. These are polished, rehearsed works that highlight the artistic and technical aspects of traditional ballets.Including costumes and music. A wonderful and rare experience that we offer our adult dancers, inviting them into the world of the art or classical ballet. All the Adult Ballet Centre teachers bring their professional stage experience to you!

What You Might See in the Repertoire:

Classical Ballet Repertoire

Adapted excerpts from famous ballets (e.g., Swan Lake, Giselle, Don Quixote, La Bayadère, La Sylphide)

Neo-classical works or original classical-style choreography created specifically for adult dancers

Solos, duets, or group works based on traditional repertoire with simplified or customised choreography.

Coaching and Performing a Solo at the Adult Ballet Centre - Limited spaces for this in the showcase.

Working one-on-one with our professional teaching artists to learn and perform a solo is a deeply rewarding and technically enriching experience. It offers dancers the opportunity to refine their technique, elevate their artistry, and experience personal growth that is rarely found in most ballet environments. This is a unique and highly tailored service we proudly offer to our Adult Ballet Centre community.

Solo coaching is available to dancers in Level 3: Ballet Progression and above. At this stage, dancers have developed the foundational strength, technical ability, and developing artistic maturity needed to approach solo work with confidence and depth. The process of preparing a solo encourages independent learning, musicality, and expressive interpretation—all key milestones in a dancer’s journey.

If you’re looking for deeper growth in your dancing and want to challenge yourself, this is a valuable next step.

Please note: A minimum of 10 hours of private coaching commitment is a requirement.
