A few quotes from our Members
As a teacher I sometimes feel isolated, but the membership has brought to me a feeling of community spirit. Being kept up to date with all the news and being able to watch the performances and purchase online classes inspires me to celebrate the power of dance each new day.
I have enjoyed my first year of membership of the Royal Ballet School, which I decided to join after visiting the White Lodge Summer Fair in 2023. I was so impressed with the performances by the students that it made me want to follow their progress. As I do not live in London, I am particularly pleased to receive regular news and videos by email and to watch them at a time that suits me. As an adult ballet student, I find the performances by the students in all years to be inspiring and I glad that the future of ballet has such a strong foundation at the Royal Ballet School.
An amazing privilege to be involved in the future of young dancers, their training, performances & achievements.
