It's always sad saying goodbye to a pupil, especially to those who I have had the privilege of watching grow from a timid pre-schooler to confident secondary student. Benjamin is one such pupil. Despite the challenges that boys often face when doing ballet, I have delightedly welcomed a number of boys over the years. Benjamin has continued to come to ballet despite being teased. Since he joined the school he's taken many ballet exams and had a soloist role in the ballet shows
