In January, four of our talented level 7 students, William, Samuel, Lilly and Eloise returned home to Melbourne after an unforgettable experience at Canada's National Ballet School (NBS). Their time abroad was more than just an opportunity to refine their technique; it was a journey of artistic growth, cultural exchange, and forging of lifelong connections across borders.
Throughout the exchange, our students immersed themselves in NBS's world-class training, gaining fresh perspectives and deepening understanding of the global dance landscape. They had the opportunity of working alongside inspiring artists, including Heather Ogden, Principal Dancer of The National Ballet of Canada, further enriching their experience.
Lilly said "I had the most amazing time on exchange...I am truly grateful to the School for giving me this incredible opportunity; I have grown so much both personally and professionally from the teachers and students here at NBS. Special thank you to Mr. Ian Parsons and Miss Timashova for your guidance and support on this journey. It was the experience of a lifetime! Forever grateful."
The School is proud to share a strong and enduring bond with elite dance-training institutions globally. These exchanges provide invaluable opportunities for students to learn, explore and thrive in new environments, equipping them with the skills and adaptability in preparation for their professional careers.
As we celebrate our level 7 students, we look forward to welcoming NBS students later this year, continuing this inspiring partnership and fostering new artistic connections across the globe.
