Our Story
Founded in 1930 by Edouard Espinosa and Eve Kelland, the British Ballet Organization began with a vision of inspiring excellence in dance education. Maintaining this ethos, we continue today as an organisation that offers multi-genre dance syllabi and training to teachers and students across the world. For over 25 years we have been regulated by the UK Government as an Awarding Organisation for our dance examinations and teaching qualifications. Take a look at the different syllabi, qualifications and dance events we offer!
Inspiring Excellence
We believe dance is for everyone. Through our passionate team we will strive to find ways in which dance can help to shape our society. We always aim to ensure that diversity is embraced and individuals are given the chance to flourish. As a charity our goal is to be recognised as a global leader in dance education that demonstrates excellence and strives to create accessible dance opportunities for all.
