- [CWS Dance reflects on: Why the Cecchetti Method Matters](https://cwsdance.com/2026/04/24/cws-dance-reflects-on-why-the-cecchetti-method-matters/): As parents, we often look at our little ones, full of endless energy, spinning around the living room or waving their arms to the radio, and wonder where that spark might lead. We see the joy in their movement and want to nurture it, but we also want to ensure they are getting the best possible foundation for whatever path they choose.
- [Ready for Your Licence to Dance? Our Ballet Barre Proficiency Challenge!](https://cwsdance.com/2026/04/24/ready-for-your-licence-to-dance-our-ballet-barre-proficiency-challenge/): The Licence to Dance – Ballet Barre Proficiency Licence is a simple way for pupils and parents to understand the expectations that come with starting barre work.
- [Why We Choose the Cecchetti Ballet Method at CWS Dance, London](https://cwsdance.com/2026/04/07/cecchetti-children-ballet-london/): When you step into our studios, you aren’t just entering a dance class; you are stepping into a legacy of elegance and artistic excellence. Here at CWS Dance, we believe that choosing the right foundation for your child’s dance journey is one of the most significant decisions you can make. While there are many methods of teaching dance, we have dedicated ourselves to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing's Cecchetti Method and Syllabus, a globally recognised syllabus that pairs the history and heritage with modern pedagogical excellence. It is a training system that evolves with the latest in sports science, prioritising your dancer's safety and technical precision in equal measure
- [The Easter Holiday Choreography Challenge: Let’s get Creative!](https://cwsdance.com/2026/04/05/get-creative/): Easter is just around the corner, and while we are all looking forward to a bit of a rest and perhaps a chocolate egg or two, we don’t want those brilliant dancing brains to go into hibernation! At CWS Dance, we believe that dance is about so much more than just perfecting a plié or mastering a pirouette. It is about storytelling, expression, and finding your own unique voice through movement.

- [Why is uniform required from Pre-Primary/Reception](https://cwsdance.com/2025/09/09/why-is-uniform-required-from-pre-primary-reception/): Wearing a uniform from the beginning of a child's ballet journey is crucial for several reasons. It instills a sense of discipline and professionalism from a young age, preparing them for the more rigorous aspects of dance training as they progress. The uniform also promotes a sense of equality and unity within the class; when all children are dressed the same, it removes distractions and helps them focus on the instruction and movements. This sense of cohesion is particularly important in ballet, where working together as a group—a corps de ballet—is a fundamental part of the art form. The uniform is the first step in creating this shared identity and fostering a feeling of belonging.
- [Information about Ballet Exams](https://cwsdance.com/2025/09/09/information-about-ballet-exams/): Those children who have graduated to the Primary class at the beginning of this academic year, will be embarking on the beginning of a more formal ballet training; they will be learning the ISTD Cecchetti Ballet Examination Syllabus.
- [Taking the Next Step in Your Child’s Ballet Journey](https://cwsdance.com/2025/09/09/taking-the-next-step-in-your-childs-ballet-journey/): As your child grows and their passion for ballet blossoms, you might be wondering how to best support their development. While a single weekly class is a wonderful start, increasing their training to two classes a week from the age of 7 or 8 can make a significant difference. This commitment is crucial for building the strength, technique, flexibility, and musicality required to progress through the grades at a steady pace.  A second class a week is a key requirement for joining our Wednesday Associate classes for children aged 9/10/11 yrs and this opens doors to accessing more advanced opportunities.  This year we will be exploring some CWS Dance Performance opportunities, invitations to audition will only be extended to those who currently commit to a minimum of two ballet classes a week.
