As part of the programme, Arabella will attend specialist classes three times each term at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London. The Young Associate scheme offers high-quality, non-syllabus training for talented dancers aged 7 to 18 who are already receiving classical ballet instruction.

Established over 25 years ago, Cecchetti Ballet Associates is one of the longest-running associate programmes in the UK. Its aim is to nurture young dancers by broadening their experience of ballet through repertoire work, pas de deux and other dance genres, taught by professional guest teachers and accompanied by highly qualified musicians.

Arabella’s achievement reflects her dedication and commitment to her training, and we are extremely proud of her success. We look forward to supporting her as she continues to develop her skills and passion for ballet.

Congratulations to Arabella on this outstanding accomplishment.
