Associate Insight classes
For young dancers and parents/guardians interested in joining our Junior, Mid or Senior Associate programmes, our Associate Insight events provide an opportunity to experience a typical Associate dance class.
We hold Insight classes for our Junior Associate programme in London and at our regional centres, and for our Mid and Senior Associate programmes at The Royal Ballet School in London.
We also invite dance teachers interested in our Associate Programme to join our Teacher Observation programme, a unique opportunity to observe The Royal Ballet School Artistic staff teaching class.
