October half term programme

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 October 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 magical ballet, Nutcracker. Choreographed by English National Ballet’s Artistic Director, Aaron S.
