The Royal Ballet School is one of the world’s great ballet schools and a shining beacon of excellence for all. Founded in 1926, its mission is to train and educate outstanding dancers and choreographers for premier ballet companies in the UK and worldwide, setting the standard in dance training internationally. Margot Fonteyn, Anthony Dowell and Darcey Bussell are among the many world renowned dancers who trained at the School. Equally, the early talent of some of the world’s most brilliant choreographers was nurtured at the School: Kenneth MacMillan, Jirˇí Kylian, John Neumeier and Christopher Wheeldon, to name but a few. The Royal Ballet School also values its responsibility to the wider public. Every year, the School’s extensive outreach activities touch the lives of an estimated 5,500 young people throughout the UK, most of whom are from disadvantaged areas. The Royal Ballet School is proud to partner Vacheron Constantin with whom it shares many values and traditions. Each unequivocally pursues the highest standards of excellence and precision and is committed to passing unique heritage to every new generation.
