London Boys Ballet School has announced the appointment of its new school Ambassador, Wayne Sleep OBE.
Since LBBS launched in 2014, the Boys Ballet School, only one of its kind in the world, has seen unprecedented growth, boasting a 100% examination pass rate and offering pupils the opportunity to perform within London theatres and to study internationally recognised examinations set by the Royal Academy of Dance.
A wide selection of syllabus, non-syllabus and ballet technique classes are led by industry professionals alongside other styles of dance and theatre genre. A new Boys Ballet Associate scheme is also soon to be launched for particularly gifted and talented young male dancers.
LBBS won the Dance School of the Year 2016 Innovation Award, awarded by IDS Founder Ann Walker MBE and judges Jonathan Gray of the Dancing Times and TV presenter Angela Rippon OBE.
Currently looking to increase its teaching faculty and teaching locations, LBBS has recently appointed ex-Royal Ballet dancer and Boston Ballet soloist Andrew Ward as Artistic Advisor.
The School’s Director, Mr James Cunliffe, who founded the school in 2014 said, “we are all very excited and truly honoured that Wayne Sleep is supporting our school as Ambassador. With our continually expanding team and upcoming teacher appointments, we look forward to many future achievements. Making a real difference to our pupils and a positive contribution to the arts is very important to us all—we are aiming high and are all very excited!”
