Ballet with Layla

24/12/2024

I was lucky enough to have the task of rehearsing this piece each day. I am so proud of what The Royal Ballet School students experienced and achieved in a very short space of time for this unusual but magical space. Ashley did a wonderful job of creating a special piece. Please tune in to watch the service at 7:30 tonight.

⭐️ We’re excited to celebrate by honouring our incredible teachers. ⭐️

From ballet and academic teachers to those leading our Primary Steps and Teacher Training programmes, each teacher plays a vital role in shaping the future of our students.

We had the chance to chat with some of our wonderful teachers:

‘I love being surrounded by those who share my passion for the art form. Our students are talented and hungry to train, and my fellow teachers inspire me to stay curious and continue to grow and learn.‘ - Layla Harrison

Great to be back in the judging chair for Dance World Cup.💃🏻🌎🏆

Today is the first day of the Czech Qualifier with 5 international judges, our Chairman, and the administration team in attendance. GOOD LUCK at all Czech dancers hoping to represent their country in June in Prague, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. This year's finals is going to be amazing! 💃💥🏆

Having worked for The Royal Ballet School in various capacities over the years, it was a great honour last April to be invited to take on the position of year 7 girls tutor. Last week I began my third term in the position and couldn’t feel more proud to be nurturing these beautiful young dancers. I find my work as Artistic Coach for the school, for other year groups, incredibly rewarding too.

I often find myself reflecting on what little Layla might have thought back when I was a student at the school, if I’d known that someday I would be in this position. The ballet world can be so challenging but can be so magical too and I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from all that I’ve experienced in my training and professional career, and then bring only the best of me and my work to my students.

I don’t have many photographs of me as a student at White Lodge but this one was taken in the gazebo outside the MFT when our wardrobe lady took me out to get a photo of me in the tutu between rehearsals! I’m so glad she did.🥰
