What do we do at Highgate Ballet School?
Highgate Ballet School Ltd. opened in 1995 by Julie Cronshaw, FISTD a Royal Ballet School trained former professional ballerina and Cecchetti specialist.
Cecchetti Method was chosen for the school’s curriculum because it develops technically competent, highly artistic and musical dancers even at foundation levels.
Many children attend ballet once a week for fun and fitness. Highgate Ballet School follows the Graded exam curriculum which also provides pre – vocational ballet training to Advanced Levels for aspiring young dancers.
