Support Us
The Young Dancers Academy has been training dancers for over 13 years. As a registered charity, we provide full-time vocational training for talented young people aged 11 - 16 who wish to pursue a career in classical ballet.
We want to give any student, regardless of social or economic background the opportunity to train full time with us but we need your support.
