Thursday 5th January 2023
Happy New year to everyone!
​
We hope you had a lovely Christmas break. We are back to class from Thursday 5th January and I’m looking forward to another successful year.
Welcome back to a new year. We are very excited to be celebrating 20 years of Rochelle Ballet School & Performing Arts. From starting out as a disco class on a friday afternoon in 2003 to over 250 students and offering many different genre for all ages. When I set out to create the school it was important to me to highlight the importance of ballet as a form of fitness for life! That is why we are predominantly a ballet school.
It's been such beautiful journey of see some of baby ballet students grow into successful adults. From achievement of gaining places in various dance colleges and dancing professionally to many students gaining places at top university. We are all so proud of all our students!
​
I have realised that it's much more important to talk about how our school is one great big wonderful family. From the pupils, to the parents and most importantly to me... our fabulous teachers.
All of us at one point have relied on someone from our dancing family for advice, kindness, support or just good old-fashioned friendship, and I'm so lucky to have this circle of like-minded people in my life every day.
​
I am thankful that I have this great job to not only teach talented students something that I'm so passionate about, but that I get to share my job with people that I truly love.
​
We still hold our status of 100% pass rate in our exam. We have done so AMAZINGLY well that it would be crazy not to promote it, but this year I just want to say thank you to everyone for making the school what it is today!

Returning to class
Returning to in person studio classes from
19th April 2021
I would like to start by saying well done & huge thank you for those that have continued with our zoom classes and to those that have been waiting patiently for our face to face classes. We are all very excited to be returning to our in person, Covid safe studio classes and seeing all our friends again.
​
Childrens classes starting from 19th April 2021
Adult classes starting from 17th May 2021
​
Our adult classes will continue on zoom after the Easter Break. Once we have started back in person our Wednesday night adult zoom class will start.
​
All our students will receive our updates and invoices via email before we return. I would be very grateful if you could confirm that the email has been received.
​
Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter Break!
Covid 19 update
20th January 2021
​
Spring Term - Will commence from January 18th with classes being delivered via zoom, with a reduced timetable - Codes will be email before your class, along with being on our members only web page.
Dear Parents/ Guardian and students,
​
Thanks again for you patients. I hope you have all received your email update on the 8th January. As I’m sure most of you know from our website and email, we have delayed opening until this week, for Spring Term on Zoom, hopefully for the very last time!
​
We will be keeping an eye on the government updates and will be reviewing this regularly so remaining positive, we will hopefully get some studio classes in before the end of the term. But for now, let’s embrace the fact that students can still receive their training online.
​
Our intention as always, is to ensure that our students still receive the highest quality dance training whilst staying on track with their progressions. It is important to us that our students have a personal and enjoyable experience of Zoom classes; we shall be mixing it up a little bit this term and adding some opportunities for student interaction and team challenges, with also the chance to brush up on their technique, throughout this stint on Zoom.
​
The thought of Zoom could leave us feeling deflated, but let's try our best to see the good in the provision of Zoom. Our students love being a part of RBS&PA and for many it is their happy place. Along with zoom classes our students have the use of our pre-recorded classes on our website.
​
You will receive an email with the Zoom codes before your class is scheduled, this will also be on our student members page https://www.rochelleballet.com/on-line-dance-class. You can find our zoom timetable here https://www.rochelleballet.com/zoom-on-line-classes.
​
Thank you all for your continued support and look forward to when we return to some normality. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in contact.
​
Our very best wishes, Vanessa and the team.

Covid 19 update
30th December 2020
Spring Term - Will commence from January 18th with classes being delivered via zoom, with a reduced timetable - Codes will be email before your class, along with being on our members only web page.
Spring Term - Will go ahead from the week of January 18th with classes being delivered via zoom or in-studio as hoped, returning to our COVID secure timetable with the restrictions still in place.
​
As a result of yesterday Covid announcement, unfortunately, we are still in Tier 4. The government guidance states that under Tier 4 restrictions all Dance Schools/ Dance Class providers must close in-person teaching.
​
Spring Term will still go ahead from the week of January 18th with classes being delivered via Zoom, or in-studio as hoped.
​
It seems as though this may well be the final push so that our lives can all resume to some sort of normality as soon as possible. We are all feeling the strain of covid and so let’s all push through and keep supporting our students training by whatever means we can.
​
We will, as usual, keep you all posted throughout the next couple of weeks with any changes that are in place, your unfailing support has been incredible this year and we are so grateful that we have been able to continue working with you all throughout the madness of 2020. Due to all your positive attitude everyone's training hasn’t been hindered by the circumstances we have all been faced with.
​
We are very proud of all of our students and we are fully committed to each and every one of them, we look forward to working with all our students in January.
​
Wishing everyone a happy new year. Let's hope a real difference will be made in the coming months of 2021. Keep Safe and well!
Best wishes,
​
Vanessa and the team.
Update: 18th December 2020
Sadly our fellow student and my beautiful mother passed away in her sleep on Thursday morning of 17th December. After her long battle I feel at peace knowing that mum can rest now.
​
Mum had always had a passion for dance, but as a child had to save up her own money to get herself to dance classes for a short time, due to my grandad being in the Army.
Mum's passion for dance certainly rubbed off on to me. As RBS&PA grew. I was lucky enough to offer adult classes in 2008, which gave mum the opportunity to return to her love of dance. Mum is a real inspiration; dancing until she was 80yrs old.
​
We have so many happy memories to cherish; she will live on in our hearts forever. Mum will be deeply missed and there are few words to express the deep pain and sorrow of losing her. She will be dancing with the angels now.
