Thank you to all who came and shared in our joyful festive awards evening. Congratulations to all who were recognised for their achievements and endeavours. The level of talent across our programmes is so high that it made it a very difficult task to choose the recipients this year. We are truly grateful to have such exceptionally talented young aspiring dancers to work with and we look forward to seeing where all your hard work and dedication will take you.👏👏👏

How quickly time goes by and aspirations will turn into achievements. It is undeniable that incredible amounts of effort and hard work go into developing and succeeding as a dancer, but it is the wonderful opportunities and friendships that will hopefully become the overall experience of a students journey. There are many highs, but also lows and both can aid in forming lasting bonds between those in search of a common goal. We look forward to welcoming students from our programmes to celebrate achievements and acknowledge key moments that hard work and determination have attained. 2025 has certainly brought great change, but the fundamental continued caring development and success of our students remains ever strong and true.🩰

🩰Happy World Ballet Day!🩰

You don’t really need to give us an excuse to celebrate and rave about all the joy ballet brings to our lives.
Whether it’s all the hard work and dedication behind the scenes, or the wonderful performances, we stand united with all who join and celebrate ballet particularly on this day.
We always enjoy our Wednesdays, with creativity, multiple ballet classes and teacher training, but today we reflect with that extra focus on appreciating just what Ballet means to us all.
Thank you to all the dancers in training, teachers, choreographers, Directors, families and all who help to keep Ballet so accessible and valuable to those who in return receive so much reward.
We hope everyone has found a great way to celebrate and look forward to all the moments still to come on our unique and joyous Ballet journeys.🎉🎉🎉

👏👏Bravo!👏👏

What a brilliant day for the future of dance, as these talented young men came together to inspire and share a part of their journey in dance with each other.

A huge thank you to @orlandoballet artist, @ficki500 for joining us online from USA and answering some very challenging and interesting questions from the boys.

Joshua’s great advice to the boys was, “enjoy what you love doing and work hard to achieve your dreams.”

All the boys worked extremely hard today and from strength exercises, creativity to Le Corsaire, a great day was had by all. There will be more boys days of dance ahead and if you want to register interest, please email skidd@balleteducation.co.uk

🌿Wellbeing Wednesdays🪺

We love our music and Cecchetti Syllabus lessons on Wednesday and in our Drama class today we took an expedition through nature in search of inspiration and stimulus. Our stroll took us around @towneleyhall and amongst the changing seasonal colours we found all manner of things to inspire our creativity.🎭
