Alloa Ballet Company
Our dance studio is a supportive and non-competitive learning environment. Through high-quality teaching, every child flourishes as their confidence builds. With optional examination and performance opportunities, our students are encouraged to reach their own personal goals. We are passionate about the development of confidence, creativity and the exploration of our emotions through dance.
“The ethos of Alloa Ballet Company is one of family and we feel glad to be part of it”
- Susan, Ailey’s mum
Here For All The Family
As a parent/guardian you too are part of Alloa Ballet Company’s Family. Every term you are welcome to watch your child’s developing technique and progress. We also create memories where you can join in and dance with your child in their class, a fantastic experience for both parents and children alike. There are also opportunities to help out with show fund raising activities, take part in one-off family events and also participate in the adult classes that we offer.
“Dancing is my happy place, the teachers all encourage me to be the best I can be everyday. They have taught me it’s ok if I don’t get it right first time and to ask for help and guidance, this shows courage and not failure”
- Emily, current pupil

Dance Examinations
We offer a wide spectrum of vocational and graded exams following the Royal Academy of Dance and ISTD dance syllabus, as well as presentation classes. The exam process is an excellent way for students to work towards their goals and we support them to achieve this. Exams are a great way for students to develop:
Self Esteem
With teamwork, mutual respect and a shared studio environment, exams help our students to improve their self-esteem too. Exams instil character, values and a passion for excellence in our students.
Discipline
Dance is not only about technique and hard work; our students also need to study theory. Exams help in strengthening techniques, developing strong fundamentals and clarity about the dance form.
Recognition
The exams are a way for our students to mark their progress in the dance form. Certificates and medals are presented in class to show students that we value their achievement.
PASSION
“I would love to go to ballet school and be one the big stage on day to make my nanny proud.”
- Olivia, current pupil
