The Kensington Ballet School was founded by Karen Lowe in 2002 and offers a fun but structured introduction to the world of ballet for children aged 15 months through to more formal RAD syllabus classes. There is a strong emphasis on theatrical performance from Karen’s team of classically trained ballerinas, many of whom have performed in the West End, and who actively dance and demonstrate with the children ensuring that each class is taught in a stimulating but instructive manor. The benefits of ballet to the child are numerous. Enhanced agility, co-ordination and concentration, whilst developing an understanding of music and rhythm are the keys to a graceful and elegant dancer. Your child’s ballet journey commences with our fun-filled “mum’s and babies” classes where the toddlers learn to interact with other children in a structured environment with our gentle and encouraging teachers. From the age of 5 years your young ballerina has the option of taking a more formal path and enrol in the internationally recognised Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus ballet classes.
