As you know, we love keeping in touch with pupils after they’ve moved on from their time with us, and we love it even more when they come back to visit us like Ruby here!

Ruby has just completed her first year studying Medicine at the University of Cambridge and we couldn’t be prouder of her 👏

Although she’s moved away for university, Ruby has still popped back into the studio for classes whenever she’s been home throughout the year and it’s always so lovely to have her back with us…

Swipe to see some photos of Ruby’s final classes as a regular pupil and some of her visits since! She’ll always be part of Cumbria Ballet School, no matter how far away university takes her 🩵

A huge congratulations again on completing your first year Ruby 💃

7 years of Cumbria Ballet School! 🥹 🥳

Rachel can’t quite believe how quickly the time has flown since the school first opened its doors and what an amazing 7 years it’s been…

There have been first ballet classes, exams, performances, new friendships, so many proud moments and lots of wonderful memories made inside the studio.

To every pupil who has danced with us, every parent who has supported us along the way and everyone who has been part of the school, past or present, thank you 🩵

We wouldn’t be where we are today without you all - we feel so lucky to have watched so many of you grow in confidence and develop your love of dance with us 🩰

Here are some of our favourite photos from the past 7 years (although choosing just a few wasn’t easy!)

Do you have a favourite photograph or memory from your time with us? Share yours in the comments - we’d love to see them! 📸

Who’s ready for a brand new term?

Classes start again on Monday 7th September and we can’t wait to see you all!

Rachel will be at the studio on the dates below for anyone who needs to pop in beforehand:

🩵 Tuesday 1st September 1pm-5pm
🩵 Wednesday 2nd September 10am-1pm
🩵 Saturday 5th September midday til 4pm

You can pick up uniform, get fitted for ballet shoes or ask any questions before your first class back – we want to help you feel organised so there’s no last minute panic when those ballet shoes don’t fit anymore 😂 DVDs and USBs from our summer show will also be available to collect.

And if you or your child are joining us for the first time, you’re very welcome to come along, see the studio and meet Rachel. It’s a chance to familiarise yourself with where we are, where to park and what to expect, so walking into that first class feels a little easier 🫶

See you all soon!
