Introducing our 2023 Dance Captains... Grace & Megan.
Always striving to be the very best that they can be, as performers they embrace every opportunity to shine, work well within a team and push themselves individually.
In training they take the positives and learn from their feedback. They support their peers, demonstrate work and ask for help and advice when needed.
They are true advocates of our school, and we are delighted to have them at the helm of our student support network.

So saddened to hear of the passing of Dame Beryl Grey, an advocate for ballet all around the world, Dame Beryl became a principal for the royal ballet aged just 15 before becoming the first British ballerina to work with the Bolshoi ballet of Russia.
Our thoughts are with her family and everyone who has been inspired by her lifelong passion for balletic arts...
RIP Dame Beryl
Dame Beryl Grey, British ballerina with ‘all the gifts’, dies aged 95 Shooting to fame as a teenager with the Royal Ballet, Grey won international acclaim as a dancer and was artistic director of the company that became English National Ballet
