Intensives

We offer a range of Intensive Courses throughout the year for aspiring young dancers. The courses provide a range of opportunities to young dancers wishing to enter professional training, ranging from three day Spring and Autumn Intensives to four week Summer Intensive Courses. Run by our very own world class teaching faculty, this is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience first hand what it is like to train at English National Ballet School.

Typically held during the February half-term our Spring Intensive is for students aged 13-16 years old.

Taught by the ENBS faculty, students will have the opportunity to attend three days of training at our School in Chelsea. The course is designed to give students a taster of life at English National Ballet School and students will participate in daily ballet classes, repertoire and/or variations classes, contemporary, and choreography.

On the final day, students will be coached on how to prepare for auditions, they’ll experience an audition-based class and there will be a brief Q&A for students to ask questions about the School.
