The Kensington Ballet School

Karen Lowe, the founder of The Kensington Ballet School, established this esteemed London institution back in 2002. Since then, it has become a go-to spot for young children discovering the world of ballet.

At The Kensington Ballet School, children as young as 15 months can join fun and engaging ballet classes designed to both entertain and teach. Led by classically trained ballerinas, often from the West End, the sessions are both stimulating and instructive.

The school’s approach highlights the many benefits of ballet—improving agility, coordination, and concentration while fostering an appreciation for music and rhythm. Starting with the popular “mum's and babies” classes, toddlers engage in structured activities with gentle guidance. From age 5, kids can progress to Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus classes, offering them recognised qualifications and the chance to perfect their technique.

Teachers at The Kensington Ballet School are professional ballerinas who bring their experience from prestigious companies like the English National Ballet. Their backgrounds in major productions like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Mary Poppins" add a magical touch to each class.

Holiday camps are also on offer, letting kids keep dancing even during school breaks, making every term a step closer to falling in love with ballet.

With Karen Lowe at the helm, The Kensington Ballet School invites all young dancers to embark on a beautiful journey in ballet. Join them and discover the joy of dance and self-expression.
