Ballet at UEA

At UEA Ballet, we hold classes for people of all ages and abilities, whether you've been dancing since you were a child or you've never set foot in a studio before! We have qualified RAD teachers who hold our classes every Saturday, along with Beginners technique, repertoire, and fitness classes which are taught by some of our qualified Advanced dancers. We also have two incredible Competition Squads (Intermediate and Advanced) who train additionally throughout the week and then go on to compete at inter-university competitions across the country. However, if competitions aren't your thing, then we have many performance opportunities at our bi-annual shows, Derby Day, and other events.

We won Best External Campaign, This Girl Can of the Month, a feature in the Square newsletter, and an article in Concrete for our body positivity campaign, ‘Love your Leo,’ along with huge amounts of support of social media from university students and professional dancers.
