four-day luxury intensive for intermediate level dancers led by James Forbat
Sunday 29th June - Wednesday 2nd July 2025
Join us for a four-day luxury intensive for intermediate level adult ballet dancers led by James Forbat (Royal Ballet School and First Soloist at the English National Ballet) as well as expert pilates and yoga instructors.
Over the course of the intensive, you will immerse yourself in busy days of ballet, pilates, yoga and pool barre, all of which are tailored to strengthen a dancers body.
As with all of Let’s Dance Retreats the classes are small, allowing individual attention and correction to push your skills to the next level.
Due to the limited numbers, spaces for our retreats tend to sell out quickly. To avoid disappointment, get in touch to book your place.
