Youth Development Programme

 We are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new ‘Youth Development Programme’ as part of our drive to make elite classical ballet training accessible and inclusive for everybody. 

This course will take place on an annual basis and will be a weekly programme (Term Time Only - 36 Sessions per year), commencing on Thursday the 11th of September 2025. Start time: 5.00pm - 7.30pm. 

This programme will focus on the fundamentals of ballet technique that will allow you to progress at a great rate, see your ability soar and give you the confidence and ability for associate training. 

  We have placed a guide age range of 9-13 though the course content is not age sensitive and we are very focused on class content, improvements and physical developments during the year. This is a very new methodology and approach which places all dancers on a level playing field so that the information shared is relevant, regardless of age. 

We are aware that people prefer to train in their own age groups but the beauty of our courses is that the information and practicalities of each class are suitable for a wide range of ages and ability levels. 

  We would recommend that a dancer has some history of ballet training, though our courses will take every student from the very origins of classical technique through to the completion of the tasks set in class. 

  Our aim is to make elite ballet training as accessible and inclusive as possible but we will need to see a video application to see if you are suitable for the course.  We are not looking for ability as such, just that you are ready and willing to absorb a great deal of information and instruction to get the very best out of this development year. 

Placement will be limited on each course as the ballet teacher has expressed a desire to work with a smaller group of dancers to make the experience more personal and targeted.
