Our BalletBesque Ethos- "Imagine
a child could fly. They are Included
with their friends to Inspire
each other. That child’s Imagination
Intensifies
with the best Information
and Individual
attention. At BalletBesque, imagination is all you need for dreams to become a reality. Let’s make it happen together"

Festival Entries 2023
We try to enter as many students as we can into the local dance festivals - they have to work hard in their classes and commit to Saturdays rehearsals to participate, and they have such a great time performing!
