About the School
'Judith Keyes School of Ballet' was established in 2015 by our Ballet School Principal, Judith Keyes.
We have created a space in which our students can: connect with fellow students allowing them to form friendships, become inspired ​allowing them to develop a passion and love of dance & to grow both emotionally & within their dancing ​​as they progress through the school.
​
Our dance school is unique as we provide classes where children can progress from walking age right through to pre-professional level meaning seamless progression through the school, regardless of level.
At JK Ballet, Classical Ballet is taught through the Associated Board of Dance (A.B.D.) Syllabus where we have a 100% pass rate at examination level, including our most recent Summer 2024 examination session.
We also offer instruction for those who do not wish to take exams and would like to focus on the physical fitness, friendship & fun side of dance.
​
Opportunities for our dancers include: recreational classes, graded examination classes, medal tests competitive classes and show work.
Our latest show was in August 2024 in Corr's Corner Hotel, Newtownabbey. We also believe that the social element of dance is extremely important for children and regularly host events such as discos and camps that are enjoyed by all.
