The upper school for 16-19 year olds is the best ballet school in the world!

Thank you Royal ballet school and Royal ballet staff for a lovely Ja year 6 workshop my little one had a lovely time great way to end the term �

My son William smith goes to the sa on Saturday's and he really likes his teacher, so good :-) the staff are really kind it's an assault pleasure taking him even though it's hard work going a long way every Saturday thank you so much xx

My daughter auditioned here back in May for JA's. They were very well organised and very polite.

My daughter attended a JA workshop yesterday and absolutely loved it as did I watching her perform what they had been working hard on all day. Lovely to be part of the bigger picture and feel part of the school. Thank you 😊

My daughter Willow attended the associate taster day today & she thoroughly enjoyed it... just got home to Southsea, totally exhausted but is still beaming about her experience today & can't wait to return.. Thank you so much for having them. ♡

My boys want to thank PrimarySteps, because they have flourished into the world of ballet! Thank you RBS x

My Granddaughter attended the ja workshop yesterday and loved it. I was very impressed by the excellent organisation of the day and what the children had achieved by the end. Thoroughly enjoyed watching their performance of Nutcracker.

Lovely to observe the students in their morning class and listening to the teachers correct them. Refreshing !

It was such a pleasure and privilege to take part in The Junior Associates Insight Day! My daughter Sophia loved every minute of it - the teachers were so gentle and attentive and engaged her in a story to such a degree that she didn't realise she had also been working hard! :)

I think this ballet school seems like an outstanding school.

I think I'm going to enter . but I don't even know how to do the split

Having done ballet for 2 1/2 years and the last year in Junior Associates in Covent Garden with the help and support of Miss Krapf .... thankfully our son George has just been awarded a place at White Lodge in September .... such an incredible opportunity for a 10 year old boy .... we are so so proud of him and his achievements so far ... and so thankful for all of the support that Miss Krapf and The Royal Ballet have given ... #proudparents #balletboi #datsmaboi

For me is the most perfect school! Always when I go to London I do Teacher course with then! Triste, respectivamente and quality!

Coming from a mother, an aunt, and their mother(my mother) who were part of that elite #Ballet world, hats off to those who choose an artists life. Most professional dancers work hard an long for decades only to be a part of the core or one teach or open a school. My family only achieved the latter. It’s not a profession that the majority ever make a real living out of, only a simplistic life of art.



Best wishes to all who work towards their dreams!

As a junior associate alumni, I can vouch for the impact this school had on my life 40 years later. As for the incredible faculty ..with my dear friend Paul Lewis on board, what more could you ask for. The Impeccable Royal Ballet...'long may you train'!

A wonderful school where i followed in my sisters footsteps it enabled me to have a wonderful career in, the royal ballet, lead dancer at the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo. And a member of Pans People.
