The Royal Ballet School's Affiliate Training and Assessment Programme is a pioneering and unique method of training ballet. Launched in 2022, the programme offers an holistic and rounded education, where students not only learn ballet vocabulary but also enjoy creative practice and repertoire study.

ATAP students hone their skills at levels based on the Royal Ballet School's Model for Optimal Dance Training. 

An example of what students will gain:

​

* A love and knowledge of the art form as a whole

* Enjoyment of the learning process

* A solid technical foundation in balletic and generic movement skills

* Social confidence through the ability to work autonomously and within a group

* A positive and resilient approach to learning through a growth mindset.

​

Affiliate Teachers create their own classes, without a set syllabus, in order to meet the learning needs of their students. This approach also keeps the learning environment fresh and inspiring, rather than using repetition of set moves.

​

Assessments are offered (moderated by the Royal Ballet School) once the required standard of each level has been achieved.
