NORTHERN BALLET

Northern Ballet Company, Leeds, England

October 2023

In October of 2023, after an eight-year hiatus, I re-established my love for ballet and began taking adult classes with Northern Ballet. Ballet had been central to my life growing up, starting my first classes at just three years old, Some of my earliest memories are centred around ballet, this was a passion that continued throughout my childhood until, after nine years of training, I decided to switch my focus to acting, which resulted in me having to leave my old ballet school.

On reflection, I felt I had always missed my time at the ballet, as a child, I had always dreamed of one day dancing for the Northern Ballet Company. So, in the pursuit of the fulfilment of my dreams, I started weekly evening classes at Northern Ballet.

Reflections

It was a surprise to me just how much solace ballet offered me, particularly as I advanced into higher classes. The moment we first danced to Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64, is one that I will forever cherish.

Looking Forwards

I hope to now continue my ballet once I resume my studies at the University of Cambridge with the University Ballet Club and beyond.
