First day
At Zoe Epstein Ballet School we want every child's first day to be enjoyable and memorable. Every child is offered a free trial class where they can experience dancing at the School.
​
Your child can wear anything comfortable for the first day; for example leggings, shorts, a skirt and top or dress and either grippy socks or bare feet.
​
​
​
Classes are held on Mondays & Thursdays, after school in the Dance Studio at Alec Reed Academy for students age 3+.
​
Once you arrive, your child will be welcomed into the class and assigned a buddy to help them settle into the group. Parents can wait outside (and have a peak through the window to see your child enjoying their first class!)
Make friends
Learn to dance
Have fun!

Parent review
My daughter started Zoe’s Ballet School late last year and has loved every lesson. Zoe is very professional and informative about what their learning and the plans for the year. My daughter quickly felt comfortable, made friends and grew in confidence. Because she is naturally very shy I was a little worried but I am so happy we chose Zoe’s Ballet School and would highly recommend it.
Our school
At ZEBS we pride ourselves on providing the very best training for all children, whether your aims are to dance professionally or to build confidence dancing with friends.
​
Our classes are taught by ex-professional ballerina and current Royal Ballet School Associate Teacher Zoe Epstein and professional dancer Miss Charis. Classes are structured to challenge and inspire students whilst nurturing their love of dance.
​
Classes are based on the prestigious Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and opportunities for exams and class awards are offered to all students age 5+.
​
All students from age 7 who demonstrate potential for vocational training are eligible to be part of the Pre vocational programme.
Our classes
The School's ballet classes enable students to develop creativity, musicality and discipline, alongside physical strength and flexibility in a friendly and safe environment.
​
The School follows the RAD system of training which offers assessment and examination opportunities at every level. Classes include classical technique and character dance (from Grade 1 upwards) which promote natural co-ordination, balance, agility and artistic appreciation.
​
The discipline of ballet trains correct posture and strength, whilst focusing and stimulating the mind. Regular classes help develop a child’s musicality and imagination, increase confidence in their movement abilities and enhance their social skills through dancing with new friends.
​​​
Parents are invited to a demonstration class to observe their child’s progress at the end of each term.
​
Regular performance experiences and workshops are available to all students allowing children to develop creativity, social skills and self-expression.
​
Tap Dance
Tap Dance is coming to ZEBS! Tap dance is a fun and rhythmical style combining music and performance. Dancers use their feet to strike the floor, beating out a melody, with tap shoes which have small metal plates on the toe to give the distinctive sound.
​
Tap Dance compliments ballet training with a creative approach to movement and strong focus on rhythm and musicality – perfect for challenging all aspiring dancers!
