LCB also offers extensive training and performance opportunities for free to talented children from all backgrounds, giving them the chance to develop their skills and pursue their passion for dance. Recognised as a leader in creating original narrative work and introducing new audiences to ballet, LCB produces a new West End ballet each year, performed by talented dancers aged 9-16.
These productions showcase the dedication and talent of LCB's dancers and provide unique performance opportunities for young performers. In addition to its live performances, LCB maintains an online presence, with a shop where viewers can purchase recordings of past performances, as well as a YouTube channel featuring clips from auditions, rehearsals, and previous productions. By offering online access to their work, LCB allows individuals to experience the magic of ballet from the comfort of their own homes. LCB also offers summer schools with a Secret Garden theme, providing workshops and performances for children interested in exploring the world of ballet.
Through its commitment to excellence, inclusivity, collaboration, creativity, and impact, London Children's Ballet continues to inspire and change lives through the power of dance.
