ENBS Juniors & Courses

ENBS offers a range of opportunities to young aspiring dancers. These range from ENBS Juniors, our Short Courses Programme and work with local schools. We believe passionately in sharing the excellence we have within our School with the wider community.
 
ENBS Juniors provides high quality weekly ballet classes for children from pre-school age. Open to all without audition, these classes focus on embedding strong ballet technique within a creative and fun atmosphere. At the end of each term there is an opportunity for family and friends to attend an open class and see their child's progression.
 
Our Short Courses offer a range of opportunities to young dancers wishing to enter professional training, ranging from one day workshops to week long courses. Our very own Studio Theatre allows us to invite local schools to exclusive performances of our work where they have the opportunity to meet our dancers and learn more about professional dance training.
