NEW TERM STARTING
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!
