Ballet baubles
Decorate your tree with our stunning baubles, depicting golden silhouettes of two of our alumni dancing a pas de deux from Paquita. These intricate ornaments would make a charming present or add a beautiful touch to your own Christmas display.
Amazing online classes
Our Intensive Courses on Demand classes make wonderful Christmas gifts. We have classes covering a range of disciplines, available for different age groups and levels of experience.
Generous giving
Christmas is a time for generosity and as a charity, we rely on the support of our community. If you’re in the spirit of Christmas giving this year, become a Member or Young Member and give our young dancers the most valuable gift of all. You’ll gain an amazing variety of benefits throughout the year to thank you for your support.
Treasured training at our Winter Intensives
If you know someone who is eager to train with us, why not buy them one of our classes for 2025? Our non-selective one-day Winter Intensive courses are open for booking and are the ideal present for any budding dancer.
Christmas in Covent Garden
There’s nowhere more magical than Covent Garden at Christmas. Treat someone you love to a day out in Central London, where you can enjoy the dazzling light display whilst indulging in mince pies and mulled wine. You can pass by the School while you’re here and spot our iconic Bridge of Aspiration.
Festive favourites
The Royal Opera House will be abuzz throughout December as they host their run of Cinderella. It’s a stunning show for all ages and you’ll get to see lots of our talented students and alumni grace the stage. Tickets are almost all gone but don’t worry, you may be able to get last minute tickets through Friday Rush. If you’re still craving The Nutcracker this year, English National Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet are both staging productions of the festive favourite, also featuring Royal Ballet School students!
