Online on-demand ballet training for students and teachers
The Ballet Method gives you instant access to a full library of RAD-inspired online courses — each one designed to build strong technique, confidence, and clarity. Lessons are mapped to RAD grade levels but work just as well for open classes or teachers using other syllabi. Created by Dawn Thomas — a professional dancer, teacher, and studio owner — the platform reflects what actually works in real classrooms, with step-by-step instruction and practical tools to support students and teachers alike.
Designed by a teacher, not just a dancer
Created by Dawn Thomas after decades of professional dance, teaching, and running her own studio — these lessons reflect what truly works in a class setting.
Mapped to
RAD grade levels
Courses follow real-world RAD structure but can be adapted to suit other syllabi or open classes — giving you flexible, level-based progression.
Built for clarity, not choreography
Each lesson breaks down the “how” and “why” — so students can build real technique, not just follow routines.

FAQs
Who is The Ballet Method for?
Our courses are designed for ballet students aged 5–18, teachers looking for structured lesson content, and studio owners who want consistent, high-quality training tools.
Do I need to be doing RAD exams to use this?
Nope — while the courses follow the RAD grade structure, anyone looking to improve their technique will benefit from the content.
How does access work?
All plans give you full access to every course level. You can watch videos as often as you like and move between levels whenever you’re ready.
If you purchase a single course, you will only have access to the material available in that particular course.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — you can cancel your subscription at any time. There are no lock-in periods or hidden fees.
What if I have more than one child learning?
A single subscription gives you access to all currently available grades — making it easy for multiple children to learn under one account. If you prefer, you can also make one-off purchases for individual grades instead of subscribing.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. Our step-by-step structure helps dancers build confidence and progress safely — whether they’re just starting or catching up.
