Highgate Ballet School

Miss Julie our director at Highgate Ballet School would like to offer our senior level students in Grades 6 and above and external pupils from other schools, the opportunity to take more classical ballet classes in the holidays and monthly on Sunday afternoons in the hall at the United Reformed Church. The classes will include pointework.

These classes will be aimed at enthusiastic dancers wishing to extend their ballet vocabulary as well as improve their technique. These classes can be attended as 'Drop-In' classes. However if all classes are attended and paid in advance, there is a 10% discount available. A single Drop-In class fee: £25.00 .

The classes are 1.75-2 hours long, non-syllabus with pointe, and will include elements of the Bournonville technique which has developed countless dancers of international renown over the past 80+ years.

The dates and times are:

Classical Ballet on Sunday Afternoon
CBoSA Sunday #2 26th April 5-7pm

CBoSA Sunday #3 31st May 4-6pm

CBoSA Sunday #4 28th June 4-6pm (in the chapel space)

CBoSA Sunday #5 26th July 3-5pm

Summer Holiday/ End of summer Term Classes:
Tuesday 7th July 5.30-7.30pm
Monday 14th, Tuesday 15th and Friday 17th July 5.30-7.30pm

‘Back to the Barre' Classes beginning of Autumn term 2026, Tuesday 1st, Wednesday 2nd September from 5.30-7.30pm.

The focus will be on developing the movement quality and strong jump technique of this training, which is garnering much renewed enthusiasm owing to Bournonville ballets being performed by students from the Royal Ballet School, Paris Opera Ballet School and others.

Miss Julie has been fortunate to have spent time learning this technique on occasion, over the past 20 years with top Bournonviliens including Flemming Ryberg, Dinna Bjorn and Peter Brandenhoff with whom she collaborated on a Cecchetti meets Bournonville workshop project in Italy last October.

If you would like further information and to register your young dancer's spot in the class please contact Ros or Julie on info@highgateballetschool or call Julie on 020 84581377.

Many Thanks

Ros and Julie

New Sunday and holiday ballet classes for students in Grade 6/Intermediate Foundation + above to take place at Highgate Ballet School beginning Sunday 29th March 2026

Classical Ballet classes take place on the last Sunday afternoon of each month at Highgate Ballet School, London N6, (except August and December) and at the beginning and end of the school holidays.

Aimed at pre-vocational dancers working at intermediate foundation and above who are looking to supplement their current ballet training, the focus is on jumps, turns and quality of movement. Some pointework may be included, for more advanced level students.

No prior knowledge or training in the style of Cecchetti or Bournonville is necessary.

Classes are taught by Julie Cronshaw RBS Dip. TTC FISTD, former professional dancer, Founder & Director of Highgate Ballet School, Creator of Ballet’s Secret Code and TheCecchettiConnection.com
