Past and Present Pupils

Many pupils who have started with The Samara Ballet School have gone on to full-time dance schools and colleges with the hope of performing dance as a career.

We think that, coming from a small 'Fenland' community school, their success has been quite outstanding and we're very proud of all of our former pupils. 

In the past seven years two pupils have been accepted at the world famous Royal Ballet School in London. For any school to find one talented pupil is a rare dream but to find two within seven years is incredible.  Both pupils had previously been accepted on to the Royal Ballet School's Junior Associate (JA) Programme.
