Spring 'Swan Lake' Intensive 2025

Held during the February half-term our Spring Intensive is for students aged 13-17 years old. 

Taught by the ENBS faculty, students will have the opportunity to attend three days of training at our School in Chelsea. The course is designed to give students a taster of life at English National Ballet School. Students will participate in daily ballet classes, contemporary, and choreography sessions, as well as repertoire and variations classes featuring iconic excerpts from Swan Lake. This timeless masterpiece, with music by Tchaikovsky and choreography inspired by the classical works of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, is celebrated for its elegance, emotional depth, and technical demands. Students will learn the enchanting Dance of the Four Little Swans and the Waltz of the Swans from Act II. 

On the final day, students will be coached on how to prepare for auditions, they’ll experience an audition-based class with a Q&A for students to ask questions about the School. 

Accommodation
The Spring Intensive Courses are non-residential and so students are responsible for securing their own accommodation. The Course will take place at English National Ballet School’s main premises, Carlyle Building, Hortensia Road, Chelsea, London, SW10 0QS
