Events

Join us for an inspiring morning of dance at Elmhurst Ballet School as we honour the extraordinary legacy of Sir Frederick Ashton, one of the founding figures of British ballet.

This year's Spring Masterclass, open to dancers aged 10-16, will include a classical ballet class and the chance to learn iconic Ashton repertoire under the guidance of Elmhurst’s expert faculty. We are delighted to be joined by former Birmingham Royal Ballet Principal and Artistic Associate of The Frederick Ashton Foundation, Sandra Madgwick, whose extensive experience in Ashton’s works will bring an added depth and authenticity to the session.

The day will conclude with an exclusive presentation on Ashton's life and career, followed by a Q&A session, offering dancers a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight into Ashton’s enduring influence and the professional dance world.

Spaces are limited—don’t miss this unforgettable opportunity to train where passion meets legacy.
