HIGHGATE BALLET SCHOOL YOUTH DANCE COMPANY: Holiday Performance Group
Next Rehearsal Dates: TO BE CONFIRMED
For dancers who love to perform, create and rehearse in an inspiring environment, the Highgate Ballet School Youth Dance Company is for you!
The HBS YDC was formed in 2009 by senior staff teacher Magdalene Woolf as a special programme offering enhanced performance opportunities for enthusiastic dancers ages 8-16, which rehearses on selected days in half terms and on days leading up to performances.
Welcoming committed ballet and contemporary dance students who are already enrolled at the school, the Youth Dance Company performs original choreography in classical ballet, neo-classical ballet and contemporary styles with chances to perform throughout the year locally in Highgate and in performance spaces in London. This year Highgate Ballet School celebrates our 27 year anniversary and performances including the YDC will take place at Channing School’s Arundel Centre, in Highgate on Sunday 3rd and Sunday 10th July 2022!
We do expect dancers who would like to take part in the 27th anniversary performances on 3rd and 10th July this year to commit to attending at least 80% of the rehearsals scheduled.
POINTEWORKS: Advanced Performance Class, termly 1x week
This class is a performance oriented class for senior level students in Grade 6+ taking two or more classes a week, as the level demands dancing en pointe.
CONTEMPORARY DANCE
HBS offers contemporary dance classes on Thursday evenings for ages 11-16 from 6.00-7.30pm termly. Our contemporary dancers co-create choreography alongside their weekly training and perform in the seasonal showcases throughout the year.
