Egyptian American Center for Arts & Creativity – Affiliated with Notting Hill College
The Ballet School at the Center for Arts & Creativity, part of Notting Hill College, was established to be a home for refined art and a hub for nurturing talent in the classical art of ballet.
We believe that ballet is not merely a series of harmonious movements, but an expressive language that combines beauty, discipline, and inner strength.
Our training philosophy is based on achieving
a delicate balance between strict technical precision and free creative spirit.
We see the journey toward excellence in ballet as one that requires commitment, patience, and a true love for the art.
The official study program begins at the age of 6 and continues through 9 intensive academic levels, with each level lasting six months, comprising two sessions per week.
At the Ballet School of the Center for Arts & Creativity, we believe that every dancer carries a unique story—and our mission is to help each one tell it in the most beautiful way possible.
