About Redbridge Classical Dance Studios

Redbridge Ballet School offers ballet and dance classes across multiple locations in the Wanstead area of London. The school teaches students from early childhood through adulthood, beginning with Baby Bear Ballet classes that focus on movement through music and rhythmic awareness. Children aged three move into Nursery Ballet sessions before progressing to the Royal Academy of Dance graded syllabus from school age onwards.

The school provides vocational ballet training with examinations from Intermediate Foundation through Advanced Two Ballet. This training emphasizes classical technique, musicality, and developing mature artistry, with students introduced to pointe work as they advance. The school also offers tap classes following the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance syllabus from Pre-Primary through Advanced Two, and Modern Jazz classes using ISTD syllabi from Primary through Advanced Two.

Adult classes accommodate both beginners and experienced dancers. The school runs a Silver Swans programme and holds an annual summer school during the last week of July. Classes take place at six community venues in Wanstead, including churches, a scout hall, a library, and a community association.
