London Children's Ballet

Who we are

London Children’s Ballet aims to inspire the pursuit of excellence and change lives through dance.  For 25 years, London Children’s Ballet (LCB) has been a leading dance charity in the UK. It is both a performance company and a registered charity, producing and staging new ballets in London’s West End and running outreach work throughout the year in primary schools and disadvantaged communities.  LCB offers extensive training and performance opportunities for free to talented children from all backgrounds, and unique exposure and experience for emerging choreographers, designers and composers.  The charity provides access to productions and free dance experience for those who cannot afford it, and takes ballet into community for those who are physically unable to attend the theatre.

Innovative outreach programmes introduce ballet to disadvantaged primary schools and the elderly. Three touring companies perform for special needs schools, care homes and residential centres. Roughly 10,000 individuals are touched by the charity’s work each year.
