Description
Become the best dancer you can be in the final years of training before joining a professional company. During the three years of training at the Upper School, our 16 to 19-year-old students continue to work towards a career with the world’s leading dance companies. Classical ballet remains the foundation of the curriculum and the School’s System of Training builds a strong technique that makes Royal Ballet School dancers sought after by company directors around the world. Solos and repertoire introduce students to new and heritage works of the Royal Ballet companies. Knowledge of these ballets is essential, as students are frequently required to perform with The Royal Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet. Upper School students also study for a BA degree in Classical Ballet and Dance Performance.
