about our online classes

Ballet 1 is a Classical Ballet class for adults with no/little experience in dance. It is suitable for people who never did Ballet in their lives and for those who tried it but are not very experienced dancers. The focus is on establishing the foundations of ballet technique, expressiveness and musicality, following the guidelines by the Royal Academy of Dance.
-
Ballet 2 is suitable for dancers who have done Ballet in the past. At this level, students will learn the RAD Intermediate Foundation syllabus, where they are expected to be familiarised with Ballet vocabulary and to have a solid base in classical dancing. Students will need Miss Inês’ approval to enter this level.
-
Ballet 3 is suitable for dancers who have done Ballet 2 with us and are ready to move up. At this level, students will learn the RAD Intermediate syllabus, where they are expected to be comfortable with Ballet vocabulary and technique, and to demonstrate a strong sense of musicality and artistry. Students will need to pass an official or internal RAD Intermediate Foundation exam to access this lesson.
-
Ballet 2&3 is suitable for dancers studying Ballet 2 and above. This is a non-syllabus class, with work at the barre and centre.
-
Ballet 4 is suitable for dancers who have successfully completed the RAD Intermediate exam and are ready for studying the RAD Advanced Foundation level. Students are expected to securely demonstrate all the vocabulary leaned up to Intermediate with strong technique and artistry. Students will need to pass an official RAD Intermediate exam to access this lesson.

This class works your feet's and legs’ strength, alignment and mobility and it is designed for people who are not dancing on pointe yet - so no pointe shoes required! In each class, students are carefully observed and guided so that they can progress safely and achieve their goals of dancing en pointe. This lesson is suitable for Ballet 1 and Ballet 2 students.
-
This class focuses on building the foundation of pointe work, developing a mix of non-syllabus work and RAD Intermediate Foundation pointe work. It is only suitable for students who were given the “green light” for pointe work - students who are not doing pointe work yet should join Pointe Preparation. This class is suitable for students doing Ballet 2 and above.
-
This class is tailored for students taking the Ballet 3 and/or Ballet 4 lessons who are already en pointe. It will consist of RAD Intermediate and Advanced Foundation syllabus and free work in both barre and centre.

Core Training is a class for the strength and mobility of the abdominal, spinal and arm muscles. It helps increasing balance and core stability while reducing back pain and improving posture. Since dance movements are mainly supported by our abdominal and spinal muscles, this class is a key addition to any schedule.
-
Flexibility Training was made to thank our bodies by carefully stretching and lengthening every muscle. Stretching is vital for a healthy body, prevents muscular injuries and increases posture. Expect to visibly increase your flexibility and finish every class as if you are levitating.
-
Legs Training classes are workouts for all leg muscles, including quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves. The main focus is to build strength, stamina and endurance you need to keep a healthy dance practice. Every week, a different combination of exercises will improve your fitness level, accompanied by the most energetic playlists, a good amount of sweat and the best laughs.
-
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program that has been designed to enhance students' technique by focussing on training the muscle memory required in each exercise in all forms of dance. The program helps with injury prevention and rehabilitation and enhances the ability of athletes to perform at their best. PBT focuses on core strength, weight placement and alignment of the body with a gradual approach of carefully designed exercises and repetitions of these exercises that trigger their muscle memory. This class is suitable for students in Ballet 1 and Ballet 2.

This group is available to all current STUDIO B students. Here are the WhatsApp guidelines.
What You Can Share:
Ask questions about classes, schedules, events, or other Studio B-related matters
Request advice or support when buying ballet supplies, or share helpful discoveries (like great leotards, shoes, warm-ups, etc.)
Invite fellow students to ballet-related performances, workshops, or events
Let us know if it’s your birthday - we love celebrating with you
Notify the group if you’ll be late or need to miss a booked class (you can also message Miss Inês directly)
Share your progress pictures or videos, talk about your latest achievements, or simply let us know you're sore and proud
(Optional) If you'd like to share or chat about non-ballet topics, feel free to start a separate student-only group with others who are interested
What to Avoid Sharing:
Off-topic content not related to Studio B or ballet (unrelated photos, personal updates, or general chat)
Questions or opinions on complex or sensitive topics like anatomy, injuries, recovery, nutrition, or pointe readiness — these should be discussed privately with the teachers, as they require professional context
Long one-on-one conversations in the group chat - if a back-and-forth exchange starts to feel personal or only relevant to a couple of people, please continue it in a private message
Negative comments, venting, or complaints about other dance schools, other dancers, your dancing, your body or other people’s bodies - harassment or violence of any sort will not be tolerated.
Please note:
The WhatsApp group is not monitored 24/7. Messages will not be filtered as they come in, so we ask everyone to use discretion and kindness in how they communicate. Studio B is not responsible for moderating the content of every conversation.
Responses from teachers: Messages may not be answered by Miss Inês or Miss Teresa outside of STUDIO B working hours. Our hours are:
Tuesday to Friday: 12:00–20:00
Saturday: 9:30–13:30
Use gender-neutral language when referring to fellow students. Our community includes people of all genders, and we want everyone to feel equally welcomed and respected.
These guidelines are here to make sure no one misses important updates and that we all feel comfortable and included. Thank you for being a part of this amazing community!
