Central Scotland Ballet School offers work experience placements to young people from local High Schools.

We are delighted that our most recent placement was a former student... Duncan Anderson began his dance training with CSBS before successfully auditioning for a full-time dance course at the Dance School of Scotland.

A 'boy' teacher...

Duncan returned for a week-long work experience placement working alongside our staff in ballet, jazz and tap classes with children of all ages and abilities.

The pre-school ballet class were a little bemused that there was a 'boy' ballet teacher (especially when the girls were being princesses!) but the Senior students and the boys loved the challenging exercises that he set them and his excellent demonstrations of pirouettes and jumps.

During his time with CSBS, Duncan performed with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet Company and toured with Birmingham Royal Ballet in their production of 'The Snowman'. He is now preparing to audition for some of the UK's most prestigious dance colleges and we wish him lots of luck with his auditions!
