With a highly selective admissions and audition process. Students on the course are surrounded by peers who share the same dreams and ambitions. Pairing this with caring and nurturing directors is a perfect recipe for students to thrive and grow together.
Operating directly within a private secondary school with boarding facilities allows our students to not only maximise their training and studio time, but also to ensure they remained focused on their traditional studies.
Focused on academic excellence, our students not only thrive in a curriculum filled with dance but are also educated within a facility that encourages growth and success. All our ballet students take advantage of a full education curriculum within the specialised Moorland Private School campus.
