The Primary Programme is the first year of structured dance technique at Studio One. Students in Grade R are ready, developmentally, for the beginning of formal instruction: correct posture, basic alignment, the earliest positions and vocabulary of each discipline, delivered in a way that keeps the experience joyful and energetic throughout.

​

Across Ballet, Modern, Acro, and Hip Hop, Primary students begin to build the physical intelligence that will carry them through every level that follows. The work is real; the environment ensures it never feels like work.
