LONDON SUMMER SCHOOL 2024
Ages 8 – 18 grouped by ability and age
The 5-day Ballet Boost Summer School is a fantastic opportunity for pre-vocational and vocational students to grow their confidence and expand their knowledge under the guidance of a highly experienced faculty of teachers.
With Ballet, Repertoire and Pointe work for the girls, and Virtuosity for the boys, Summer School classes will also take the time to focus on body conditioning, plus Contemporary and Musical theatre. This comprehensive schedule follows the Ballet Boost programme which aims to furnish students with the technique, mindset and artistic approach required of professional ballet dancers today. In previous years, Ballet Boost Summer School students have displayed a wonderful sense of growth in both knowledge and confidence in only five days!
We are delighted to be able to offer one, two or three day options to this year’s Summer school. We hope it will assist families both financially and to allow for bespoke training across the summer (or throughout the year) that can be bought alongside our 121 training and pre audition packages. This exciting new offering across your summer is an extremely wise investment in both your dancers experiences as well as the all important progression towards their ultimate goal and everything is arranged on an individual basis to fit your schedule.
Our team of guest teachers will impart their unique style and knowledge in an environment that is nurturing and inspiring – a truly fantastic opportunity for students to access the wisdom and industry experience from those who know it best.
