Past Student success

Congratulations to one of our past students who won the Year 7 ballet award in their annual prize giving at ballet school.

He is currently studying at full-time ballet school, Elmhurst Ballet School (in association with Birmingham Royal Ballet) in Edgbaston.

He is photographed here being presented with his award by Caroline Miller OBE, Chief Executive of Birmingham Royal Ballet.

This is such a fantastic achievement. He only started ballet aged nine, and within two years went from a complete beginner and took every exam (gaining high Distinctions) from Primary to Grade 5 in this time. He was accepted as a Junior Associate of Elmhurst Ballet School within a few months of starting classes with us and was offered a place in the full-time ballet school by the time he was 11. He has also performed twice with Birmingham Royal Ballet in their professional production of The Nutcracker (once while he was a student with us, and once while at Elmhurst).

​To win this end of this year award in his first year of full time training is a huge accolade.
