We will be hosting a spectacular ballet weekend at The Old Stables, in Weybourne, North Norfolk. Over the course of 2 days you will be taught by the incredibly talented Barry Drummond, who trained at the Royal Ballet Upper School before dancing with the English National Ballet for ten years.
Our exclusive ballet retreats have no more than 8 participants, which means that everyone benefits from the very close attention and expert tuition of our expert ballet professionals.
This retreat is suitable for:
Level: Improver
Experience: 2–4 years
What to Expect: If you’re familiar with barre work and enjoy the challenge of learning longer combinations, this retreat is for you.
