PART TIME ACADEMY OVERVIEW

The Tanya Pearson Academy offers elite level classical ballet training for students of all ages, from Tiny Tots through to Young Adults. The Academy, founded by Tanya Pearson OAM in 1972, is renowned for its long history of excellence in classical ballet training.

The Part Time Academy teaching and administrative team are committed to maintaining a positive learning environment that fosters self-worth and respect for others.

The part time classical ballet program provides the necessary foundation and coaching to support students who wish to progress to full time classical ballet training, but also those who simply wish to achieve their personal best and gain the most out of their classical ballet training. Complementing the solid ballet training, the Academy also offers classes in Contemporary, Repertoire, Character, Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theatre, Pilates and Conditioning.

All TPA students are supported through their Royal Academy of Dance examinations from Primary through to Solo Seal.
