We were invited for a second time to bring along some of our pupils to watch The Royal Ballet Company in their daily class at The Royal Opera House. Forty children were fortunate enough to be able to come and were thrilled to be able to see some of their favourite dancers up close and to get an insight into what goes on behind the scenes. Our sincerest thanks go to the head of the ROH Education Department, Rozzie Metherell, for giving the children this wonderful opportunity.

We are very excited to announce the opening of our fourth branch of the school which will be located in St Annes Road in Wandsworth. If you are interested in signing up please contact us on 07904 833984. All children age 2 1/2 and up most welcome!

The Ballet School’s first ever production ’Finding Nemo’ took place at The Tabernacle Theatre on Saturday 12 October 2008.

The 170 cast members, ranging in age from 4 – 14, delighted the audience with their performances and the lengthy standing ovations that followed were well and truly deserved! Congratulations to you all.

A huge thank you to those who helped out behind the scenes, especially Anahi Copponex who designed and created the fabulous costumes, from surfing turtle to mounted mer-jockey!

Our next production will take place in September 2010 (by which time Miss Vanessa and Miss Caty should be fully re-cuperated!). Rehearsals will start May 2010 and all pupils from Reception age and up will be given the opportunity to take part.

Tickets for Finding Nemo can be purchased from the Box Office on 0871 2715151.

Last term 14 of our Grade 2 and 3 pupils were fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to visit the Royal Opera House and watch the Royal Ballet Company in their daily class. Big thank you to Rossie from the Education Department for inviting us, the girls loved it and were completely in awe!
