Summer Workshop 2023
31st Jul. 1st & 2nd Aug. 2023
Ages 9 - 16 years
A 3-day Workshop taught by by ex-professional ballerina and current Royal Ballet School Associate Teacher, Zoe Epstein alongside professional guest teachers!
Held at the BBO Dance Studios, London, The Summer Workshop is aimed at both Pre Vocational and Vocational Students, focused on each individual furthering their classical ballet technique and artistry, including specialised conditioning and stretching, repertoire and (pre)/pointework. Each group will perform their learnt repertoire to family and friends on the final day.
Students will benefit from a minimum of 4 hours of dancing each day learning from both myself and exceptional guest teachers tbc. Whilst this is a primarily ballet focused course, students will also expand their experience with a West End Masterclass.
Places are limited to ensure small class sizes and will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis following a successful application with photographs. (Current students and those in full-time vocational training do not need to submit photographs).
