Full-time training

Turn your dreams into reality with semi-private and unlimited private coaching. Under the guidance of professional pedagogues discover your true potential and be supported to take your leap.

Fledgling level students receive semi-private full time training in order to prepare for international auditions.

These classes run during the day and students are supported to continue their academic education via Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu or in partnership with schools such as Hagley Collge and Ao Tawhiti. Students are also prepared for Royal Academy of Dance examinations. All RAD classes are with a qualified RAD teacher and RAD approved examination pianist.

For those students who live outside of Christchurch homestay options are available.

Classes are capped at four students with unlimited private training. Simply put full Fledgling Programme students receive private training as they need and do not pay extra for private lessons with Miss Monica. This enables students to get the individual attention they need to meet and exceed goals. With 1-1 training progress is much faster, weaknesses can be addresses and strengths enhanced. Focus your energy on what you need at the moment in time.

Weekly contemporary, reformer and yoga classes are included in the programme.

The focus in this training is reaching an international level to audition for company affiliated schools in order for students to be in the best position to gain employment.

I want to say thank you to The Fledgling Programme team and Miss Monica especially for taking me on as a student, believing in me and helping me to grow my wings and take flight into the world of ballet. I know that without you I would not be here today and I hope to make you proud!
