N° 01 — How we teach
Live piano, small classes and a lot of patience.
Ruth plays for every ballet class, so children learn to listen to music, not a speaker. Classes are capped at fourteen, and every teacher gives each dancer at least one correction by name in every class.
Teachers meet each half term to talk about every pupil’s progress, and parents get a short written report at the end of the summer term.
