Ballet for Boys

About Ballet for Boys

Narrative ballets need boys, but too often boys drop out simply because they find themselves alone in a room full of girls and think ‘maybe not’. Ballet schools frequently explain to LCB that they struggle to attract or retain boys. Our Ballet for Boys programme developed to complement each boy’s regular ballet classes and to inspire them to continue with ballet.

Ballet for Boys is a specialist programme for boys aged 9-16, which enables boys to train in an all-male environment, led by an inspiring professional male dancer. The classes take place on Saturday or Sundays in the Spring & Summer Term. Participants continue with their regular ballet classes, and the Ballet for Boys programme aims to enrich and enhance their weekly training. We accept referrals from all ballet schools as well as self-referrals.

Boys training with LCB advance quickly when they have the opportunity to study with other boys who share their love of dance, and many of them go on to dance in the LCB company.

We have a limited grants in cases of families in financial need so that nobody misses this wonderful opportunity to attend a boys-only class.
