About Us

Chelsea Ballet Schools was established 40 years ago by Dorothy Ind. Based in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, we provide dancing classes to children of all ages in our own out of school venues and within independent schools. Our wish is for our pupils to experience dancing as a pleasure and a memory, cherished beyond childhood, which encourages an appreciation of ballet, music and movement into adult life.

 

Correct deportment, graceful physical development and confidence emerge naturally from this training. Many of our pupils have progressed to professional schools and associate training programmes leading to successful careers as professional dancers.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to teach children of all ages to dance and through this medium enhance their lives.

We Believe

We Believe that any child can benefit from our classes and enjoy dancing regardless of natural ability.

Our Objective

Our Objective is to encourage the highest possible standard within every pupil’s competence but equally for them to have fun. 

Our Mission

Principal

Dorothy Ind trained at the Arts Educational Schools where subsequently she was appointed Head of Dance and later became Chairman of the board of Governors.

​

Her combined love of dance, natural gift for teaching and connection with, and understanding of, children have brought Chelsea Ballet Schools to its position of

pre-eminence today.​
