Artistry Youth Dance

“I am really pleased that Artistry Youth Dance (AYD) has been able to build a long-term partnership with Central School of Ballet. Reading the feedback from the AYD young dancers who have participated in CSB programmes through scholarships, has been truly uplifting. The impact CSB has had on their technical skills, confidence, and self-belief is nothing short of life changing.

I am delighted that these dancers have access to opportunities they may not have previously considered possible. For dancers of African and Caribbean heritage especially, it is vital that they experience firsthand the possibilities available to them, breaking down any preconceived notions they may have had about studying ballet, Central School of Ballet, or their own potential. This partnership is opening doors and transforming aspirations, and I look forward to seeing it continue to grow.”
