BALLET DANCE COMPANY - IS IT FOR ME?

Dancers interested in the Ballet Company must be proficient in an advanced/intermediate knowledge of diverse ballet vocabulary and technical execution as time is focused on technical advancement and rehearsal, rather than foundational learning and vocabulary. 

It is a safe space of challenge, exploration, discovery, and creation.  

The Ballet Dance Company is for those who have completed Improvers level ballet classes at City Academy, an equivalent ballet course, or who have experience in ballet performance.

No Venue

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
