A very special Happy Birthday to our Barnabas Centre Studios!!!
From where we were a year ago to where we are now has been an incredible transformation!

We have two purpose built studios in The Barnabas Centre allowing all our classes to be held under one roof and strengthening our lovely dance community!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us over the move and to all our new dancers and families that have joined us in our new home! Special thanks to all who have gone the extra mile to help us on our new adventure at The Barnabas Centre from knocking down a wall to picking up a paintbrush, or supporting our fundraising every little bit is truly appreciated!

A special shout out goes to our wonderful Principal Miss Katie for showing our lovely students that with enough hard work and dedication anything is possible!

This will be a fantastic few hours of TV for any ballet lover!

Ex-student Luc Foskett and the Royal Ballet Company will be showing their daily warm up live on the Royal Opera House stage in Covent Garden, followed by some rehearsals of up coming ballets and it’s all live streamed directly to your living room!

Follow Royal Ballet and Opera and remember to watch during the half term! 🤩

🩰 Save the date 🩰

World Ballet Day will return on Thursday 29 October, and this year's theme is How Stories Are Made.

The Royal Ballet will present a three-hour livestream, beginning with daily Company Class, before moving into rehearsals and conversations exploring the transmission of knowledge, and sharing how choreography is passed on to new generations

We'll be taking audiences inside the rehearsal room to discover how teaching and coaching bring ballet to life, and we're excited to be featuring The Royal Ballet School and Birmingham Royal Ballet in our livestream.

The stream will also be supported with BSL and an Audio Description service.
