Ballet Club

Ballet Club gives young people access to professional artists, opportunities to develop their dance skills and the confidence to have an artistic voice in the work they co-create.

Calling all aspiring dancers aged 9 – 12 years, who live in Newham or Tower Hamlets and love to dance!

Join us this May half term for Ballet Club, dancing and creating new moves with professional artists at English National Ballet’s state of the art studios in Canning Town. Take part in daily ballet class, explore other dance styles and put your creative skills to the test in choreographic workshops exploring the classic fairytale ballet, The Sleeping Beauty, choreographed by Sir Kenneth MacMillan.

We look forward to welcoming you into the studio to experience all that is grand, gleaming and gorgeous as we are inspired by one of the world’s best-known fairytales.

The programme is FREE OF CHARGE and is available for Newham or Tower Hamlets residents. Places are offered on a first come, first served basis.
