Classical ballet, contemporary dance and two brand new pieces of work make up an exciting programme from Ballet Central, each piece specially chosen to celebrate the 40th birthday of the world-renowned Central School of Ballet.

Each year, the repertoire is created around Ballet Central’s relationships with leading choreographers and dance industry influencers who provide the opportunity for students to work on new pieces or spectacular revivals of much-loved classic ballets and theatrical productions.
