About The Oxford School of Ballet
The Oxford School of Ballet was established in 1978 and offers classical ballet classes to boys and girls aged 3 to 18, alongside adult ballet classes ranging from complete beginners to advanced level. The school teaches the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, with pupils having the opportunity to take accredited examinations, though this is not compulsory. Classes span pre-school ballet for children aged 3 to 5, pre-primary and primary levels, grades 1 through 8, vocational exams up to advanced level, pointe work, and adult beginners, improvers, and advanced sessions. The school took on students from Deddington Ballet School in 2021 following its closure. Teaching is provided by experienced and qualified staff including Esme Calcutt, Mary Colegrove, Judith Licence, Natalie Strike, Sakeena Reynolds, Emma Elliot, and Chloe Reilly. Classes are held at several locations across Oxford and surrounding areas, including the Church of St Gregory and St Augustine on Woodstock Road, Wolvercote Primary School, Oxford High School, Summertown Church Hall, Duns Tew Village Hall, and the Windmill Centre in Deddington.
