Creative ballet workshop for families, held on stage!

Experience the thrill of dancing on stage at the Peacock Theatre in our series of creative ballet workshops inspired by My First Ballet: Swan Lake. Led by English National Ballet’s highly experienced Associate Dance Artists, these workshops created especially for children will explore the wonderful music, iconic swan-inspired movement, and famous characters of My First Ballet: Swan Lake. Participants will also have the chance to get up close to the beautiful costumes and production scenery!

The workshops are recommended for children aged 4 – 7 and an adult participant must accompany the young dancers. One adult may attend with a maximum of two children, but we recommend one adult per child for optimum enjoyment and participation. All participants, adults and children, must purchase a ticket.

What is a Relaxed Workshop?

A Relaxed Workshop welcomes any families who would benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy and access the session. The workshop will begin with sharing a Visual Timetable of the content plan, using Widgit symbols and participants can expect to explore themes and characters of My First Ballet: Swan Lake, using sensory props throughout. There will be a separate chill-out space for anyone who might need it at any point during their visit. We also provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance.

Watch, create and learn with our My First Ballet: Swan Lake resource hub, which includes tutorial videos, crafts and Widgit symbol resources such as story summaries, character sheets, flash cards and more. Click here to go to the resource hub.
