Our first time sharing one of Lily’s gorgeous solos on our page 😍. Here she is performing Hebe, from The Awakening of Flora. So technically clean it makes it look much easier than it really is! Beautiful musicality, expressive port de bras and controlled extensions ❤️ Taught by @torimartin__ 📸 by @salome.aka #hebevariation #awakeningofflora #londonballetclasses #adultballet #balletvariations

@salome.aka looking very ethereal and channeling magic in this beautiful, beautiful solo from La Sylphide. So light, airy and soft, and barely touching the ground - exactly as a sylph should be. Absolutely amazing 🫶🏾 Taught by @torimartin__ Filmed by @sharon.yau #londonballetclasses #adultballet #lasylphide #sylphvariation classicalballet

⭐️ Announcing our next Variation of the Month ⭐️ 📍 Sundays at The Place, Kings Cross 12, 19 and 26 April 2026 5 - 6.30pm: Intermediate/Advanced (in this class we teach the original choreography) 6.30 - 8pm: Beginners/Improvers (we teach a simplified version that captures the essence/style of the choreo) 🌟 Week 3 (26 April) is an (optional) performance day in classes. A wonderful chance to set yourself a goal of performing this piece (solo or in a small group 😍) About this variation: This variation is from a beautiful ballet in the Romantic ballet style. It features a sylph, a mythical spirit of the air who embodies delicacy, freedom and weightlessness. As you will see in the video, movements are characterised by an airy and fluid quality, to create the illusion of continuous suspension and flight. The goal is to blur the boundary between Earth and air - and make it look light and easy! This month, we’ll focus on ballon - the bouncy quality in jumps, soft cushioned landings and of course expressive épaulment, which is so important in this role, and in the romantic ballets in general. To achieve the effortlessness and delicacy of this performance, we will also work on refined use of the upper body and explore different arm variations. Swipe to the end to see clips of the phenomenal Lis Jeppesen perform this variation. A perfect sylph 🥹 ✨. Use the link in our bio to sign up — click Sunday 12 April on the calendar to book Week 1! 😍 ….. And a reminder that our Thursday evening Technique classes support our variation classes, so if you would like extra support with some tricky steps from the routine, join us Thursdays at WAC Arts studio in Belsize Park. Each month we have a selection of focal steps based on the variation, that we breakdown and practice in an open class format. (Note: Our Technique classes also split into Intermediate/Advanced and Beginner level too). In our Intermediate classes we will focus on jumps and batterie in the centre with a particular emphasis on ballon (bounciness and elevation). In our Beginnere class we will focus on sissones, with clean take offs and landings. 📸featuring Lis Jeppesen ❤️

Follow Along Friday 🎉 This week’s exercise is a sneak peak from our Wednesday Beginner Pointe class: featuring controlled échappés, releves in fifth and a supported balance at the end. From fifth we échappé onto pointe, close back to fifth, releve in fifth and finally we end with a transfer of weight to the back leg and a short balance, with the free foot placed softly at cou-de-pied (with the barre there for light support). It’s a simple combination, but there’s a lot to work on: • articulating clearly through the feet as you open and close the échappé • arriving centred and cleanly on the box without jumping onto it • organising the weight in a balanced way as you return to fifth • maintaining length through the ankle and legs as the working foot comes to cou-de-pied In our Beginner Pointe classes we take time with exercises like this to build strength, coordination and confidence on pointe. By slowing it down, you can check that the closing/landing of the échappé is clean and well placed, this is what will help you to translate this movement into the centre later and to eventually add speed :) Tip if you’re following along: try not to rush. Moving a little slower challenges you to stay lifted through the legs and ankles, rather than sinking into the shoe. It also gives you more time to self-correct placement and build strength by sustaining the position. We want to aim for a controlled execution of échappés, rather than doing them super fast and using momentum more than muscle. Save this for your next practice ✨ 📸 features @torimartin__ and our Beginner Pointe students #FollowAlongFriday #BeginnerPointe #AdultBallet #PointePractice LondonBalletClasses

Sharon 🥹❤️❤️❤️ If you’ve been following this account for some time, you’ll be familiar with Sharon, who has been dancing with LBC since our early days, she also films and edits so many of our Sunday solos and workshops 🙏🏽 and is a beautiful dancer and all around human being! It is so emotional seeing these two clips side by side because her first Giselle performance seems like yesterday, rather than six years ago! There has always been so much heart and emotion in everything she does and you can feel it whenever she dances. Thank you for coming back to ballet - you were absolutely meant for it 🥹 📸 @sharon.yau 🩷 P.S late to the party but finally sharing my thoughts on Timothee’s pathetic little comment 🤣 Ballet isn’t just something we perform or try to master or sell, but instead, a way of life. It may be for a season or forever, but anyone who loves it knows it’s a heartfelt commitment to art, music, connection, storytelling, vulnerability and to knowing the self. Dance is a place to nourish the soul, challenge the body and be in community. We’ve been dancing since the dawn of time and we will be until the end of time because it’s an essential and irreplaceable part of being human. This short clip felt the right way to throw in my two cents - and say yes, ballet is very much alive, it inspires aliveness and I have no doubt that it will continue to do that very important job. This is not at the expense of, or in competition with, the various other mediums that also do that beautifully. Real value cannot be measured in numbers, or rankings or popularity contests. It can only be experienced to be known. Nor does it have to be big, global, trending. Whether I am watching dancers on a big stage or the passionate students in our studio lessons, the aliveness always touches and moves me. There will always need to be spaces for that to happen and for us to witness it 🩷 So - to all the artists, musicians and pioneers who have dedicated so much to this art form - and equally important, to all who love it, have felt joy or connection or healing in it, we value your contribution and participation. The future of ballet looks pretty amazing to me 🩷

Salomé in our first Variations en Pointe workshop. So beautifully done! This role requires lots of musicality, softness and fluidity in the upper body which is so wonderfully demonstrated here. It’s a beautiful first variation to try en pointe because it isn’t too long and mainly focuses on bourrees and temp liés. Huge welldone to everyone who participated 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Our final Variations en Pointe workshop is Sat 28 March where we will learn something special from La Bayadere 🩷 link in bio to book!

Silvia performing Paquita’s entrance and killing it 🔥🔥 What a pleasure to see someone enjoy what they are doing SO much - infectiously entertaining and uplifting. Thanks for bringing this beautiful energy to performance week - truly captures the spirit of what we want our Sundays to feel like 🩷 Taught by @torimartin__

We are returning to Giselle this Sunday, so here’s a little glimpse of all the bits and bobs we’ve learnt from this beautiful ballet over the years 😍🥹 Thanks @sharon.yau for this video and throwback ❤️

⭐️ Announcing our next Variation of the Month ⭐️ 📍 Sundays at The Place, Kings Cross 1, 8, 15 and 22 February 2026 5 - 6.30pm: Intermediate/Advanced (in this class we teach the original choreography) 6.30 - 8pm: Beginners/Improvers (we teach a simplified version that captures the essence/style of the choreo) 🌟 Week 4 (22 February) is an (optional) performance day in classes. A wonderful chance to set yourself a goal of performing this role (solo or in a small group 😍) About this variation: Giselle is one of classical ballet’s most beloved characters. Her iconic variation is full of delicate footwork, and flowing arms that convey innocence and youthfulness. Beneath this softness lies playfulness and quiet energy, building to quick hops and fast turns at the variation’s close. Her subtle gestures—whether a bow of the head, a glance, or gentle smile—showcase her natural interaction with other villagers as she dances. Skillfully embedding these gestures in an organic and easeful way helps to make her character believable and endearing. Technically, the variation demands immense control, particularly in the opening penché and attitude turns, which slow into soft, precise landings. This month we’ll focus on characterisation and technical clarity. Swipe to the end to see clips of the phenomenal Renata Shakirova perform this variation. A perfect performance 🥹 ✨. Use the link in our bio to sign up — click Sunday 1 February on the calendar to book Week 1! 😍 ….. And a reminder that our Thursday evening Technique classes support our variation classes, so if you would like extra support with some tricky steps from the routine, join us Thursdays at WAC Arts studio in Belsize Park. Each month we have a selection of focal steps based on the variation, that we breakdown and practice in an open class format. (Note: Our Technique classes also split into Intermediate/Advanced and Beginner level too). In our Intermediate classes we will focus on penché in the centre, attitude turns and manége practice! For beginners we will work on piqué arabesque, piqué turns and ballonné simple en avant. 📸 image of Svetlana Zakharova and video of Renata Shakirova ❤️
