A Warm Welcome to Ballet Cymru Associates 2022-23

Sunday 4 September 2022 is the start of this year’s Associate Programme with our first Pre Associate session taking place, and we are very excited to meet our 2022 – 2023 class!

We received many applications for the range of different levels of Ballet Cymru’s Associate Programme, and auditioned candidates in July. The standard presented during the auditions was very high, and proved to be very difficult for our audition panel to make decisions. In the end, we selected 125 Associates on the programme this year, and we are very excited to start working with them. See you in the studio soon!

Ballet Cymru’s Associate Programme is designed to complement students’ existing dance training and aims to give young, talented ballet dancers the opportunity, understanding and insight into what life as a professional dancer may entail.

The programme runs monthly on Sundays from September to July at Ballet Cymru’s dance studios in Newport, and is available to boys and girls from the ages of 11+.
