February 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 in February 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 special choreographic workshops.

What to wear

*Please wear clothing you can move in: something stretchy is ideal and not too loose, so that you don’t get tangled up. Participants should wear soft dance slippers or dance in bare feet for class (no socks for safety reasons). All jewellery should be removed before class and we recommend that long hair is secured away from the face.

Ballet Club is generously supported by Newham Council.
