balletLORENT is opening its professional company class to graduate and professional dancers from across the North East, creating a regular opportunity for local artists to train alongside the company.
The new initiative offers a welcoming space for dancers to maintain their practice, connect with fellow professionals and experience balletLORENT's approach to movement and performance. Classes will reflect the company's current artistic practice and creative work, with content varying throughout the year.
Professional Class takes place at balletLORENT's studio in the John Marley Centre, West Newcastle, and is free to attend. Places are available by advance online booking only.

Please check the online booking page before attending, as class times may occasionally change.
Following each class, dancers are invited to stay for up to an hour and use the studio's social space as a hot-desking area—an opportunity to catch up on admin, enjoy a coffee and connect with other local dance artists.
As part of the new offer, balletLORENT also has two studio spaces available to hire by the hour for rehearsals, creative development and independent practice. Anyone interested in hiring a studio is encouraged to get in touch to enquire about availability.
The Professional Class is part of balletLORENT's ongoing commitment to supporting dance artists in the North East, strengthening connections within the region's dance community and making the company's studio a place for training, creativity and collaboration.
