Youth Ballet – 11-16 year olds (Intermediate)

A dynamic and challenging class designed to refine technique, strength, and artistry. Students explore advanced exercises and combinations while developing performance skills in a supportive, inspiring environment that balances discipline with fun and passion for dance.

Classes are taught by Jake Davies. During his professional career Jake has performed with esteemed companies including Scottish Ballet, The Birmingham Royal Ballet, Cas Public, and Ballet Theatre UK. His repertoire spans beloved classics like Beauty and the Beast, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, Coppélia, The Wizard of Oz, Giselle, and many more. Touring across the UK and internationally and performing for HRH King Charles, Jake gathered a wealth of performance experience.

After a serious injury during COVID brought an end to his professional ballet career, Jake transitioned into teaching and mentoring. He became Ballet Master and Pas de Deux teacher at the School of Ballet Theatre UK, preparing young dancers for professional company life. Since moving to Scotland, Jake has started a new career, but his passion for dance remains, and he continues to teach and inspire the next generation of dancers with warmth, energy, and dedication.

Classes take place at the Rehearsal Rooms which are a short walk or 2 min drive from the Theatre.
