What a wonderful experience it was to have Bolshoi ballerina, Luna Helm, join us for our Open Adult Classes!
Luna graduated from the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet Academy this year and has since joined the Bolshoi Ballet Company.
Our dancers were especially lucky to catch a glimpse of her breathtaking Le Corsaire variation.
Luna, thank you for sharing your artistry, talent and beautiful energy with us. We hope to welcome you back soon! 🩷

Our beautiful Swan Princess, Lara Pieterse.
Watching Lara perform on stage in Swan Lake with Cape Town City Ballet has been an unforgettable moment.
May this remarkable achievement be just the beginning of a journey filled with many more magical performances. Keep shining, Lara, we couldn’t be prouder of you.
A special season on stage for Lucy Walker and Lara Pieterse! ✨
After their successful Advanced 2 exam, Lucy and Lara had the wonderful opportunity to join the corps de ballet of Cape Town City Ballet in their production of Orpheus.
What an incredible experience to be part of such a beautiful production. Their dedication, artistry, and passion for ballet continue to shine, and we are excited to watch their journey unfold.
Next up: Swan Lake with CTCB Act II in Stellenbosch! 🦢
So proud of our CBC students Lara, Lucy, Lena, Sienna and Sophie who performed with Cape Junior Ballet in collaboration with Johannesburg Ballet Academy in the spectacular production Exaltation🩰✨
Our girls were incredibly fortunate to work with an outstanding lineup of choreographers, including Kirsten Eisenberg, Michelle Reid, Robin van Wyk, Yarisha Singh, Nicolette Loxton, and Ashley Searle. What a privilege to work alongside some of South Africa’s finest choreographers.
A heartfelt congratulations and thank you to Kim Day and everyone involved in bringing this inspiring production to life. Your vision, passion, and commitment to creating opportunities for young dancers are truly deeply appreciated.♥️

We’d love to see you there!
To our beautiful students who participated in the RAD exams this March ✨
We are so proud of each and every one of you. Your excellent results are a true reflection of your hard work, commitment, and dedication.
It has been a joy to watch your growth, and to see you step into the studio with determination and heart.
Congratulations to you all. We are beyond proud of you💫♥️
Franscois and Essek started ballet classes with CBC as adults in 2024 and 2025 respectively. Last week they completed their first ballet exam, RAD Level 2, and both passed with High Distinction! 🌟
To step into an exam as an adult takes courage, dedication and true commitment. It requires consistent hard work, late nights of extra lessons and the willingness to push beyond comfort zones, something they both did with grace and determination.
We are so proud of you, not only for what you have achieved for yourselves but as an inspiration to all of us that it is never too late to start, to improve, and to thrive in this art form that belongs to all of us at every stage of our lives. Congratulations, you stars! 🌟✨🌟
