New partnership with JR Classical

Owing to high demand for our online classes, we thrilled to announce our brand new partnership with JR Classical! Our partnership with Jacqui Richards, a fully-qualified and experienced ballet teacher, will allow greater access to private ballet coaching for our ballet-focus students. JR Classical's private coaching can be accessed online or in-person (Crewe, North West England). 

Our school has a commitment to high-quality ballet tuition and so we are thrilled to partner with JR Classical who shares our same ethos and passion for classical ballet training.

Jacqui's childhood training began as a pupil of Cynthia Hancock, Mary Archbutt School and The Hammond School Saturday programme. After gaining her Advanced Vocational grades, Jacqui then began teacher training with the RAD and ISTD at Merseyside Dance and Drama Centre, gaining her Associates in Imperial Ballet and Modern Theatre, and RAD teachers qualifications in the children’s and vocational syllabus.

After opening her own school, Jacqui continued to study to gain her Associate Diploma, Licentiate Assesment, and more recently the Diploma in Dance Pedagogy in Classical Ballet. Throughout her career and the growth of her own School and its valuable team, her passion has remained teaching. Teaching children and more recently supporting other teachers is what Jacqui enjoy – she currently coaches and enters candidates to Advanced 2 level, including analysis teacher exams. Jacqui has a love of learning and is currently aiming towards her Fellowship or Masters qualification in ballet.
