Everyone Welcome
Ballet for all Ages 6.30pm on Thursdays during Term Time
One of the best things about adult ballet is that everyone is welcome and everyone can participate, regardless of age, experience or ability.
Is Adult Beginner Ballet for me?
Perhaps you took ballet as a child;
Perhaps you wanted to learn ballet but never had the opportunity;
Perhaps you would like to learn ballet terminology and steps so that you can understand more about the art form;
Perhaps you are looking to escape work at the end of the day and listen to beautiful music whilst using your body in the most creative and expressive way;
Perhaps you would like a full body workout that improves strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance, posture and balance.
There are so many benefits to ballet and we would love to share this wonderful art form with you!
Join us during the School Term Time (see dates) on Thursdays at 6.30pm at Canada Water Studios.

In 1979, at the age of eight, Angelina was offered a scholarship at the Paris Opera Ballet School. As a petit rat de LOpera (a name give to the young students attending the Opera ballet school) Angelina danced in a number of professional productions including The Sleeping Beauty, choreographed by Rosella Hightower, Le Festin de L’araignee and Movements, choreographed by Claude Bessy, Director of the Paris Opera Ballet School. She also participated in Nureyev’s rehearsals for Romeo and Juliet. Angelina danced for President Mitterand, and one of her most memorable experiences was when she met and danced with Gene Kelly in a tribute to An American in Paris.
When Angelina returned home to England she continued her training at Bush Davies, The Royal Ballet, Upper School TTC and Central School of Ballet.
Angelina danced with the Braunschweig Staatstheater, Germany, and danced in a range of classical and contemporary ballets; she was a member of the corps de ballet and was invited to perform the solo role (as understudy ) of Queen of Spades in Jeux de Carte. Repertoire includes Giselle, Nutcracker, Rite of Spring, La Fille Mal Gardee, Bolero and a selection of other classical and contemporary ballets.
Angelina gained a first class honours degree in the Theory and Practice of Dance, and was awarded Distinctions for both her ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) Imperial and Cecchetti method teaching qualifications.
Now in her mid 50’s Angelina continues to teaches ballet to children and adults of all ages.
