Summer Intensive 2019: your response

A total of 584 students from all over the world came to London to attend courses at White Lodge, and at Upper School this July and August. We asked them how they found it:

The course included intensive ballet training from artistic staff of The Royal Ballet School, alumni and guest teachers such as Edward Watson, Viviana Durante, Samira Saidi, Jason Mabana, Julia Ellis and Valentino Zucchetti to name but a few.
