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 Greater Manchester and Lancashire area to receive our specialist training.

We are proud that many of our boys have progressed on to wonderful careers as professional dancers.
''I feel so privileged to have been taught by Miss Lomas and Miss Johanna. I received outstanding training and mentorship that allowed me to progress, to successfully audition for performances with professional ballet companies and gain a place at a vocational ballet school''
