ABOUT OUR FREE BALLET CLASSES
We are delighted to resume our FREE/by donation ballet classes via Zoom. We welcome dancers from anywhere around the world to come and join us! We know that life (especially in London) is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Many schools (including LBC) are facing rising studio and running costs and are having to increase prices to stay afloat. Students everywhere are facing increasing barriers to participation because of this.
Ever since the pandemic, we have had a close and ongoing relationship with students from all over the world who participated in our free weekly classes during lockdown. We have continued to run these on an ad hoc basis. We are now hosting at least three free classes per term to anyone in our local (or international) community in need!
You can join the class completely for FREE - no questions asked, but you must ensure you meet the pre-requisites for our Pointe/Intermediate level lessons. If you are in a position to donate, any amount is super appreciated, this donation helps us to keep this offer going and expand reach to anyone interested.
