Excellence comes in all forms. The heart, root and centre of the School is its dance technical training. Rambert School is a registered charity.
The full title of the School is Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, with the terms “Ballet” and “Contemporary” listed in this order because it is alphabetical. At Rambert School both these major genres of western theatrical dance are treated equally and as major studies. Neither is undertaken largely or only to supplement the other. This approach, which is unique in the UK, is adopted

“As dancers we problem solve with our bodies”
We hear from MA graduate Shireen Talhouni who is based in Amman, Jordan as she reflects on her experience and evolution her postgraduate thesis work and original choreographic solo.
As part of our recent MA Intensives, Shireen came to London to collaborate with Rambert School undergraduate students, using the opportunity to revisit, develop and share her work. The project formed part of her ongoing artistic and research practice, demonstrating how creative inquiry can continue to evolve beyond the completion of a Master’s degree.

All the best to our students for the start of solo assessments this week! First off, ballet solos🩰💫
How is ballet taught at Rambert School?
technical training at Rambert School. Our longstanding approach emphasises clarity of line, placement and precision, always allowing these to grow through a developing sense of movement. Beyond technical prowess, musicality, expressivity and artistry are emphasised and valued.
The study of ballet encompasses daily classes, pointe work for any student wishing to work on pointe, coaching, classical partnering work, virtuosity, and learning/performance of classical repertory. No ballet classes are split by gender.

We are extremely saddened to hear of the passing on 8th June of Rambert School alumna, Sara Matthews.
Sara trained at Rambert School before joining Rambert Dance Company in 1985, where she enjoyed a distinguished 11-year performing career, working with three Artistic Directors - Robert North, Richard Alston, and Christopher Bruce- and appearing in works by numerous choreographers.
After retiring from the stage Sara pursued her passion for nurturing artistic excellence, returning to Rambert School to teach and later joining Central School of Ballet, first as Head of Dance and then later as Artistic Director, where she made a lasting contribution to the training and development of future generations of dancers. Her commitment to the advancement of dance training continued in her roles at Trinity Laban as Dean of the Faculty of Dance, and subsequently as Director of Dance.
Sara will be remembered with great affection and admiration by the Rambert School family. Her contribution to dance, both as a performer and educator, leaves a lasting legacy. Our thoughts are very much with her family and friends at this difficult time.

MA Intensive Days 2026❤️🔥
Our MA Intensives are designed as a space for connection, exchange and collective learning. They offer our MA practitioners the opportunity to share their evolving practices with undergraduate students and with each other, creating a dynamic environment where ideas, processes and research can be experienced first-hand.
Across the Intensive Days, we engaged with a rich spectrum of work emerging from the MA cohort - spanning diverse modes, approaches and perspectives. Graduates of the course also returned to share the evolution of their work since completing their Masters as well as external keynote speakers sharing their expertise.
At the heart of the experience are dialogue, reflection and participation — the key ways in which we deepen our understanding and learn from one another as a community.
Keep your eyes out for more about the days and about our research practitioners👀
