Guest Teachers
2008 has been busy at English National Ballet School as a host of Guest Teachers have been sharing their expertise with the students. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Years have had the chance to continue working with renowned artists such as Wolfgang Stollwitzer, Gillian Revie, Julie Lincoln and Christopher Carr. Also teaching at ENBS this term will be Mikhail Tchoupakov and Cynthia Harvey.
 
ENBS students are continuing to achieve high standards both inside and outside their studies. In January Nancy Osbaldeston became the only UK finalist at the Prix de Lausanne and in March Laurretta Summerscales won third prize in The Young British Dancer Awards.
 
Many students have already been on stage with English National Ballet this year, both at home and on tour, in productions of Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, The Snow Queen, Etudes and Coppelia. Other students were also performing at the Peacock Theatre for the London run of ENB’s Angelina Ballerina.
 
Graduate Contracts
For 3rd Years the often difficult task of finding that crucial first contract can loom largely in their final year of study and English National Ballet School is proud to announce that the following students have been accepted contracts with English National Ballet; Ruth Brill, Nancy Osbaldeston, Ksenia Ovsyanick, Sayako Tomiyoshi and Junor de Oliveira Souza. Benjamin Griffiths has accepted Ballet Graz and 2nd Year students Benjamin Poirier and Luiza Lopes will leave the course early for contracts with Leipzig Ballet and City Ballet, Sao Paulo respectively. Some of the students were in the privileged position to have received offers from several companies.
