✨ Behind the Scenes ✨

Dance classes are about so much more than the hour you see in the studio each week.

Behind every class is time spent choosing music, creating choreography, planning lessons, organising costumes and props, answering emails, managing registrations, sending invoices, updating timetables, and making sure every dancer has the best possible experience.

There are countless hours of preparation that happen away from the dance floor, all to ensure our students can walk into class, learn, grow, have fun, and build confidence.

With an exciting end of term ahead, we’re busy preparing opportunities for all of our dancers to showcase what they’ve been working on. Whether performing at our upcoming show or sharing their dances during class presentations, every student has been working hard and deserves to be celebrated.

Thank you to our wonderful dance families for being part of the journey and for supporting all the magic that happens both on and off the stage. 🩵

We are thrilled to unveil the exciting production for ‘Anne of Green Gables’.

Join us on an enchanting journey with Anne Shirley, a spirited 11-year-old orphan whose boundless imagination leads her into delightful mischief in a quaint Canadian village. With captivating choreography by Jenna Lee and a spellbinding score by Gus Nicholson, this heartwarming tale is sure to charm audiences of all ages. 🌟

Booking now open! 3rd - 5th July | Peacock Theatre https://www.sadlerswells.com/whats-on/london-childrens-ballet-anne-of-green-gables-2026/

Confession time:

Even experienced dancers still forget routines, lose count, and occasionally turn the wrong way.

We just smile about it and carry on.
