🚨Closing date: 18th October🚨

We are so pleased with the response from and are greatly looking forward to the upcoming Boys Day of Dance!

The day is led by former @northernballet professional dancer, Simon Kidd. The aim is to bring young aspiring movers together and share a passion for dance in a warm and welcoming environment.

Coincidentally there is also a Boys Dance Too day being held @csbschool the same day. We understand that some are disappointed not to be able to do both, but as long as you are having a great day dancing, we are all very happy!

The next Boys Day will be held in April and if you would like to receive more information, please email skidd@balleteducation.co.uk

We’ve had a great Saturday with our Enhancement associate students, who worked with enthusiasm and focus from start to finish. Our level 2 students pictured began with strength and conditioning before ballet class and some repertoire. We look forward to sharing all the associate levels progress throughout the year.👏

What a wonderful end to a fantastic first week of term @balleteducation!👏

We have loved welcoming all new and returning students after the summer break and we look forward to all the fabulous opportunities ahead of us.🎉

Thank you to @balletgrandprix_scotland for a wonderful day of classes taught by the esteemed Tania Fairbairn-Della Valle and @kate_lyons_, our students attending had a joyful time and gained from the very positive experience.🙏

It was also lovely to see Alumnus @momoka_ballet who is currently training on the @enbschool Graduate Artists Programme, we can only assume she came to meet in her shiny new wheels!🤷‍♂️
