    Our Youth Ballet Workshop on Sunday 23 November at the Royal Ballet and Opera Studios has now taken place, and booking is closed. It was a pleasure to welcome so many young dancers for a morning of classical technique, repertoire coaching and live piano in such an inspiring setting.

    We will be announcing further opportunities for young dancers in 2026, and we invite parents, guardians and students to subscribe to our mailing list to stay informed and be the first to hear about upcoming workshops, classes and events.
