Over the course of one week, immerse yourself in a fun ballet learning experience on our five-day Ballet Summer School Course. Fast track your understanding of classical ballet, history and terminology, and learn alongside others in a fun and inclusive environment.
Expertly crafted by our professional Ballet tutors, your week is structured so you gain a solid foundation to ballet. You are introduced to Ballet terminology and history, guided through repertoire pieces from iconic ballets such as ‘Swan Lake’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty’, and work out your muscles through warm-ups, ballet classes and barre sessions.
With the right blend of movement, active learning and repertoire, move through the five days at a pace that has been designed specifically for those new to Ballet. After you complete this intensive course, you are at the level required to progress on to our Ballet Improvers Course, and you can continue your journey to become a fully proficient ballet dancer.

DAY TWO
You are introduced to choreography and repertoire today after your warm-up. You focus today on a contemporary creative movement workshop to create a sense of awareness of your body, and continue to strengthen your muscles and posture.
DAY THREE
After your morning warm-up, you will take part in a barre-fitness and flexibility workshop to get those muscles burning! Don’t worry, you will cool down with a session on choreography and repertoire.
DAY FOUR
Kick off the day with a technical ballet class and get stuck into choreography, borrowing from Musical Theatre to really bring out your inner performer. By the end of the day you are feeling confident about performing, your physicality and your ballet skills.

The final day of the course is centred showcasing your learning, and a chance to see all of your hard work come together.
