Students invited to watch the Royal Ballet in class

(07/12/11)
On 9th November we were invited to take a group of 20 students to watch the Royal Ballet in class. Students from the Intermediate Foundation classes had a wonderful and exciting day watching 45 dancers, many of them principals and soloists, beginning their day with morning class. A privilege which few get to see - Carlos Acosta, Leanne Benjamin, Tamara Rojo, Sarah Lamb were just 3 feet away as we had front row seats. We were stunned and amazed at the power, strength, flexibility and beauty of each and every dancer and didn’t want the class to end. We then had an Italian lunch and tickets to see a matinee performance of Billy Elliott, so came home that evening energised and inspired. A fantastic day out for students and staff.
