Our mission at the School is to turn talented young dancers into aspiring professionals with the necessary discipline and skills to manage the rigours of performance.

The students are aware that they have chosen a very demanding career path. At the School we match their commitment and dedication with an excellent training programme to prepare them for the challenges they will face as professionals.

The School is always moving forward and our talented and skilful teachers make sure they keep up to date with new dance training techniques.

We have introduced a three year course that gives our students scope for extra performance opportunities and allows them more time to develop as dancers. In the first year we focus on building up the student’s physical strength and skills. In the second year we concentrate on perfecting their artistry and technique, and enable them to experience other dance disciplines such as Contemporary and Jazz. Finally, those students who stay at the School for the third year have extensive performing opportunities, especially with English National Ballet.

At English National Ballet School, I am very proud to say we produce thinking dancers, who have received a first class training and leave us equipped with the necessary life skills to go on to lead successful lives in the world of dance.
