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 ballet curriculum because it develops technically competent, highly artistic and musical dancers even at foundation levels.

Our highly qualified teachers and classically trained pianists are CRB checked.

Cecchetti Method is a branch of the ISTD, the UK based governing body providing QCA recognised exams and teacher training for dancers worldwide.
