# Dance Club Steps into Ballet

  ![Image of Dance Club Steps into Ballet](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/news/IMG_1829.jpeg)  22 September 2025

This term, our Dance Club has been enjoying learning ballet with Mrs Wilson. The children have worked hard to develop their flexibility through warm-ups and stretches, helping them to move with balance and control.

Mrs Wilson introduced the group to the basic ballet positions, showing how dancers hold their arms and feet carefully to create graceful shapes. The children also practised turns, learning how to stay steady while moving, and discovered how to perform *pliés* – bending their knees gently to the rhythm of the music.

Everyone showed great focus and enthusiasm, and it has been wonderful to see their confidence and teamwork grow each week. We are very proud of the children’s efforts and look forward to seeing how their ballet skills continue to develop!
