✨🎄 BRB NUTCRACKER RELEASE 🎄✨

A VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

We are absolutely thrilled to share the news that Charles & Eden have both been selected to perform in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of ‘The Nutcracker’ 2026!

We are immensely proud that 2 of our students have been chosen as part of just 16 ‘Party Children’ roles available, with a further 3 students being selected by the panel as reserves. With over 150 dancers who auditioned, we believe this is such a testament to the talent, hard work and dedication of every single one of our dancers who auditioned.

A huge well done to all of our dancers who took part in the audition. We hope you enjoyed every moment, embraced the experience and came away with wonderful memories and lots to be proud of. Auditioning for such a prestigious production is an achievement in itself!

To celebrate, Kate Frost Photography held a very special photoshoot for Charles and Eden, capturing this wonderful moment and recording their achievement in a beautiful collection of photographs - the first one pictured here. 📸✨ What a lovely way to celebrate their success and create memories that they can treasure as they embark on this very special adventure.

We simply cannot wait to watch you take to the stage and see you sparkle at the Birmingham Hippodrome this Christmas! But for now, soak up the excitement and look forward to the wonderful journey that lies ahead. We couldn’t be prouder of you all!

So, Charles and Eden… your exciting journey begins! ✨

We don’t know if we’ve ever seen anything so delightful…
🥹🐚✨

Smaranda always dances with such untapped natural joy and expression which is just completely captivating both in the studio and on the beach apparently! 🥹

We have asked all of our dancers to send us any holiday dance snaps they have taken over the break and we are currently creating some lovely posts to share these with you. We thought this genuine improvisation holiday video was the perfect post to start off with.

Our new term is starting soon and we will be opening our doors to new students shortly… 💻✍🏼

As we start getting ready for our SEPTEMBER TERM, now is the perfect time to gently start waking the body back up… ☀️🩰✨

Our first little focus is safe sit-ups. Using the correct technique helps to protect the back and neck while building core strength - try with a partner first like in this video.

Think of these exercises as a little gift to your future self, helping you return feeling strong and ready to make the most of the exciting term we have ahead 🙌🏼✨

Give it a go, save this post for later, and keep an eye out for more gentle conditioning tips as we count down to the start of term. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back into the studio soon… 🩰

We love Saturdays 🙌🏼

Today we covered 3 brand new PBT exercises and we’ll be sending the notes home to the dancers so they can re-cap and practice the exercises throughout the week.

Such great work today everyone 💫
