ABOUT
Chantry School's Classical Ballet programme is suitable for dance students who is looking for additional intensive classical ballet training each month to complement the training they currently receive at their dance school or college.

Each Associate session includes a technique class followed by learning choreography or repertoire from 20th and 21st century classical ballets.

Students are placed in one of 5 different levels to progress at their own pace under the expert guidance of the Chantry faculty, developing their technical and artistic skills and deepending their understanding of Classical Ballet as an art-form.
