The NDM’s ballet preparatory course is a selective studio. The types of recruitment are regular or individual. Admitted students can be enrolled not only into the first year but also into higher years according to their disposition. The purpose of recruitment to the NDM Ballet Studio is to select gifted children with a talent for ballet.
When recruiting, we verify:
• physiognomic disposition of the child for ballet (hip range of motion, flexibility and suppleness of the back, body proportions)
• ability to keep a rhythm
• body coordination during movement
• ability to repeat simple step combinations
• ability to do movement improvisation
• ability to maintain attention
COURSES
All the required abilities are naturally given to children to a certain extent. Therefore, there is no need to prepare children specifically for their recruitment.
To express your interest in participating in the recruitment process, please e-mail pavlina.machacova@ndm.cz (include the child’s name, date of birth, and e-mail address of the parents).
Be sure to bring a change of clothes for practice and soft ballet shoes or socks.

• BABY (age 6+) – first ballet and dance steps
