London Russian Ballet School

Adult Ballet

We offer classes for all ages and abilities. These classes are under the direction of Evgeny Goremykin, a former Principal of the Bolshoi Ballet and Director of the School.

All forms of activity are important for us but ballet offers the rare combination of the mind and body working together. It is total relaxation because concentration is required, it is also an endless process which is why it is continuously rewarding. The physical benefits in terms of posture and flexibility are obvious but the additional benefits from the sense of well being, moving to music and challenging oneself cannot be underestimated.

Ballet helps with posture, flexibility and grace together with increasing strength.

We have many adult amateur enthusiasts, regular students some trekking all the way from the city as often as twice a week for evening classes. We are very grateful to them for their loyalty. Some came from a long standing desire to take up ballet from scratch, others because they had done it when they were young and wanted to begin learning again. Others were serious students who have a love that they cannot give up.

"I came because I thought it was a new area of something to learn that would be good for me. I found it so interesting and beautiful I grew to love it and wanted to make progress."




"It opened up a dimension of going to performances and watching them in a different way. This is the only studio I know where they take someone like me seriously. I learn but have fun too.”
