Join us for a repertoire workshop based on Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon as part of our summer programme.

The workshop will begin with a ballet technique class, before moving on to learn a piece of repertoire from Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, featuring live piano accompaniment.

For weekly classes that focus on solo choreography from the classic ballets, please refer to the RAD syllabus Discovering Repertoire.

“As ever, learning from a professional dancer with excellent teaching experience, was a pleasure. It is so important to have this type of expertise and understanding as an adult. The teachers continue to show patience and understanding while allowing people to express artistry within their movement.“
