Ballet classes for boys

Ages 4-18 years old

At the Janet Lomas School of Dancing, we are highly experienced in training boys in classical ballet. We have students who travel not just from Bury, but all across the Manchester area to receive our specialist training.

We are proud that many of our boys have progressed on to wonderful careers as professional dancers. Below are just a few of their achievements:
​

• Accepted at full-time ballet schools such as Elmhurst Ballet School (in association with Birmingham Royal Ballet), Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and Urdang Academy – all with scholarships.
• Junior Associate of Elmhurst Ballet School.
• Appeared in professional productions (while still a student at the Janet Lomas School of Dancing) such as Birmingham Royal Ballet's The Nutcracker at the Royal Albert Hall, and professional theatre productions including Oliver!, Gypsy and The Pied Piper at the Opera House, Library Theatre, Wythenshaw Forum and Mermaid Theatre (London).
• ISTD Imperial Classical Ballet Scholar.
• Progressed on to careers as professional dancers, in English National Ballet, appearing in music videos, backing dancers for Steps, Kylie Minogue etc.
