A rare opportunity to shape something extraordinary.

We are honored to work with 16 schools, focusing strategically on communities facing the highest levels of socio economic disadvantage - ensuring that excellence is not a privilege, but a right.

Last year, following an intensive 12-week ballet training programme, our learners performed an inspiring production of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet alongside professional artists on the stage of Birmingham's iconic Symphony Hall, accompanied by a live 50 piece orchestra.

This year, we aim even higher.

The Role

As Lead Practitioner & Artistic Director, you will:

• Design and lead an ambitious 12-week ballet education programme across our group of schools. Supported by a well-sequenced and rigorous curriculum.
• Inspire and guide a team of ballet teachers, ensuring consistently exceptional teaching and learning.
• Champion excellence, using quality assurance and professional development to raise standards across the provision.
• Shape the artistic vision for our 60 minute abridged ballet production at Birmingham Symphony Hall (8th & 9th July 2026).
• Collaborate closely with the CEO, Producer, Music Director, and wider creative team to deliver a production that is accessible, inspiring, and unforgettable.
• Teach with purpose, delivering high quality ballet lessons that support learners of all backgrounds to achieve great outcomes.

This is a leadership role for someone who thrives on both artistic ambition and educational impact - someone who believes in the transformative power of classical ballet.
