Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, classes will be running at a reduced capacity this term and will be available to current students only. We are closely monitoring the situation and hope to review the schedule in the new year and extend registration to new students. We will announce any changes to the current situation here.
As a professional ballet company with a wealth of experience in training and nurturing dancers, we are perfectly placed to set aspiring young dancers on pathways to achieving rewarding careers in dance.
