About this event

Arts • Ballet

Our retreats are all about sharing our love of dancing and the joy of movement. Through several days of immersive ballet classes and further workshops, we hope to inspire everyone who attends and give them the opportunity to experience dance beyond what can be achieved in a weekly lesson.

Every day will include at least 4 hours of dancing, including a warm-up, ballet class and workshops which may include focusing on technique, repertoire, character dance stretching and mobility or other styles of dance and movement. There will also be plenty of breaks and the opportunity to chat with everyone.

We will provide a catered lunch, with refreshments available throughout the day. On Saturday, there will be an afternoon cream tea.

Teachers are Zoë Dando, Gemma Haines, Alex Simpkins and Paul Chantry.

All classes take place in Creaton Village Hall, where we run Papillon School of Dance. It is a small, rural village in Northamptonshire. The hall has sprung wooden floors and lots of natural light. Disabled access and toilets are available.
