Class of 2023 Destinations

Wednesday July 19th 2023

Elmhurst students are at the heart of everything we do at the school. We care about the students whilst they are training with us and we care about their lives after Elmhurst, hoping they find the careers they have dreamed of pursuing during their time at the school. 

Every year we hope the final year graduate students of Elmhurst Ballet Company start to find their place in the world. It might be dance, but often it’s to continue their training elsewhere, homing in on a particular dance style they have connected with, or some decide to move into higher education or step back and take time to reflect on what is next for them. 

Every Elmhurst student is different and we hope they know life and success is very personal to them. Sometimes it happens overnight and sometimes it takes a little longer. But we hope with a little perseverance and patience, all Elmhurst students live their best lives and they live them with fulfilment and joy. 

The Elmhurst Class of 2023 wowed audiences in Birmingham and London recently and we know they will continue to wow audience across the world, wherever they go and whatever they do.
