Central School of Ballet is a classical ballet school based in London, with students from countries all over the world.
The school was established in 1982 by Ann Stannard and Christopher Gable. It established a touring company, Ballet Central, in 1984. From 2004, Central started to offer degree courses accredited by the University of Kent. [1]
In 2018, more than £25,000 worth of costumes were stolen from a van belonging to the Central School of Ballet. The costumes were recovered after a social media appeal. [2]
The school is based in the Countess of Wessex Studios, named after Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (then known as the Countess of Wessex), who has been a patron of the Central School of Ballet since 2003 and who opened the studios in 2020. [3]
