Elmhurst Spring Masterclass

Join us for an inspiring and immersive morning of dance at Elmhurst Ballet School as this year’s Spring Masterclass celebrates the enduring artistry and influence of August Bournonville.

Renowned for his joyful musicality, intricate footwork and expressive storytelling, Bournonville’s work continues to shape classical ballet training today.

Open to dancers aged 10 –16, the Masterclass will include a classical ballet class alongside the opportunity to learn and explore iconic Bournonville repertoire, all under the guidance of Elmhurst’s highly experienced faculty. Dancers will be encouraged to develop their technique, artistry and performance quality in a supportive and inspiring studio environment.

We are delighted to welcome Birmingham Royal Ballet Principal Dancer, Celine Gittens, who will join the day as a guest artist delivering repertoire and sharing her professional experience and insight.

The morning will conclude with a presentation and Q&A session, offering dancers a valuable opportunity to gain first-hand understanding of life in the professional dance world and the pathways into vocational training.
