About Us
At Turning Point Ballet Academy, located in Garsfontein, Pretoria, we are dedicated to sharing the beauty and discipline of ballet with dancers of all ages and skill levels.
Our mission is to foster a lifelong love for ballet through high-quality training and a nurturing environment. We follow the internationally respected Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus — a globally recognised program that builds a solid foundation in classical ballet technique, musicality, and artistry.
Lessons are held at the Lux Mundi church hall and at selected schools in the area for our Pre-Primary and Primary Ballet students, offering flexibility and convenience for families.
