On Saturday, we were proud to celebrate the graduation of the English National Ballet School Class of 2026, marking the end of a three-year journey and the beginning of exciting professional careers around the world.
Graduation is a chance to recognise the dedication our students have shown throughout their training and academic studies. Following an impressive final week of summer performances at The Bloomsbury Theatre, our graduates now take their next steps into the professional dance world.
We are delighted that members of the Class of 2026 have secured contracts and places with companies and professional programmes across Europe and beyond.
Our graduates will be joining:

Others will continue their professional development with internationally recognised junior and trainee programmes, including:

These opportunities are a testament to the talent, determination and hard work of our graduates, as well as the commitment of the faculty who have supported them throughout their training.
