Mt Eden Ballet Academy offer a full range of Classical Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz and Tap classes at their dedicated studios in Newmarket Auckland.
Details and Fees are listed below.
Ages 2 to 5
Our early age ballet classes teach children the love of dance in a warm and caring atmosphere. These classes help to develop coordination and musicality. Our teachers are highly experienced RAD professionals and all classes are accompanied by a skilled live pianist. Our senior students always participate in our younger children’s classes to help demonstrate steps properly and inspire the juniors to learn to listen, be in a class situation and follow directions from the teachers.

Children have now progressed to enjoy a more structured form of learning through syllabus classes. The structure increases as they progress through the grades.
At MEBA we encourage children to take pride in their developing abilities and to appreciate their accomplishments. Exams are encouraged, as it gives students a goal to work towards but they are not essential.
The varied RAD graded syllabus includes barre work, centre practice, character dances and the development of performance skills.
