“Inspiring children to believe, achieve and excel”

At Bristol Ballet Centre we are passionate about what we do, and instilling a love of dance, motivating children to learn, giving them the self-confidence to believe and reach their potential, and having fun along the way are all important values to us. 

We want to inspire our students in so many ways. We want to share our passion, inspire them to love dance, inspire them to be the best they can be, be the kindest they can be, be creative, be musical, be part of a team, be confident, be proud, be disciplined, be productive and be themselves. 

We want them to believe – in their dreams, in the future, in themselves and in us. We want them to achieve whatever they set out to and most of all, enjoy the journey along the way. 

And then we want to help them excel – beyond what they thought they could! Excel in their ambitions, their tenacity, their perseverance, their work ethic, and their drive – wherever that may take them. 

And we at Bristol Ballet Centre will be behind them all the way. 

Bristol Ballet Centre is a very special place! I grew up attending classes there many times a week for many years. It is a hugely positive environment to be in and one I was always excited to be in. The support and opportunities I received from the school as well as the discipline learned have been invaluable to me in my chosen career and also as a person. After completing my grades in ballet, modern and tap, I went on to gain a 1st BA(Hons) degree in Musical Theatre at the world renowned Guildford School of Acting and have since worked in many highly acclaimed shows across London and the West End. Bristol Ballet Centre has been a huge influence in my life, the memories and life-long friends made ensure that Bristol Ballet Centre will always hold a very special place in my heart! Thank you to Miss Sherman and the rest of the amazing teachers there. Fantastic school.
