Foundation in ballet is the perfect accompaniment to all other dance styles. It builds strength, flexibility, core stability and improves your posture. WAPS Ballet Foundations is a specialised class for adults to get extra practise working on the foundations of ballet. An excellent class for students who are new to ballet and want to familiarise themselves with the techniques and terminology of ballet, or even for more experienced students who want some extra practise during the week. This class is open to students even if they are not enrolled in Lady Velvet Cabaret Ballet classes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
Cost varies depending on the length of the term and class. A standard 12 week term costs $80, which works out to $8 per 30 minute class. All students in ongoing courses pay a $30 annual registration fee each year. For more flexible enrolment options, including casual and multiple class passes, check out our timetable page.
I've never danced or performed before - will I be able to do this?
Of course! Our open and beginner courses are designed for complete ADULT beginners who have either never learned Ballet or even dancing before, or are coming back after an extended break from the style. Check the
timetable to see if a more advanced class is available for you. If you wish to perform, you can participate in a spectacular showcase at the end of each year.
Can I trial a class first?
Your first Lady Velvet Cabaret trial class is $15 so you can try before you enrol. Any subsequent trials (including trials of other styles) will be billed at the $25 Casual rate. If you are looking to attend on a more casual basis, you should consider our Multiple Class Pass.
The term has already started, can I still join?
Yes! We take enrolments at any time of year (check out our timetable
here). Fill out an
enrolment form and we will be in touch to confirm your payment and book you in for the remainder of the term!
Am I too old for this class?
You will not be too old, regardless of your age! Our instructor is completely qualified and will teach you the basics at various paces so you can choose one that suits you. It is never too late to learn, and this is an ADULT class so all ages above 18 welcomed!
How long do classes go for?
Each class runs for 30 minutes each week.
What should I wear/bring to each class?
A leotard or form fitting top, leggings, shorts or tights will be fine. You should be able to move comfortably in your clothing with your posture visible to the instructor. You may wear ballet shoes or you can take the class in bare feet – we do sell canvas ballet shoes in studio. Please bring a bottle of water and a towel!
Will I get a discount if I enrol in other classes?
Yes! Enrol in two courses with us and you’ll receive 5% off your class fees. Enrol in three courses and you’ll receive 7% off your class fees. Enrol in four courses and you’ll receive 8% off plus your fifth course will be free!
What if I want to attend casually?
If you cannot commit to attending regularly, you should consider our Multiple Class Pass. Once your $30 Annual Registration fee has been paid, you can purchase either a 5 Class Pass for $110 or a 10 Class Pass for $190. Your Class Pass will allow you to enter any of our ongoing courses (not 6 week or one day workshops), provided they are not full. Class Pass holders will have to register at reception each session to have their pass stamped. If you’re interested in purchasing a Class Pass, contact us today!
