Affiliate Programme Insight workshops
Discover the future of ballet education. For young dancers aged between seven and 10, their parents/carers, and recreational or private dance teachers, our Insight workshops provide an opportunity to witness our Affiliate programme in action.
For dancers, experience a typical Royal Ballet School Affiliate class led by our expert staff. Parents/carers have the unique opportunity to observe the class and see our innovative training method in action.
For dance teachers, attend a presentation on the Affiliate Training and Assessment Programme, The Royal Ballet School’s ground-breaking programme changing the face of recreational dance. Teachers will learn about the benefits of our holistic training method and gain insight into how Affiliate teachers apply the method in their studios.
Workshops in Bournemouth and Doncaster are now open for bookings.

The workshop is delivered by a Royal Ballet School Affiliate Programme manager or tutor.
