Student Support

When you join Central, you join a family. Central School of Ballet is a small school with up to just 50 students per year. This means that the staff at Central know each and every student by name. If you are struggling at any time during your training, all of your tutors and the wider staff team are there to support you.

We believe injury prevention is vital in maximising our students performance. The Wellbeing Team works with students and staff to prevent injury. This involves one to one appointments looking at technical corrections, class observations, and supplementary training.
