Arlene Philips said “I am really looking forward to seeing the work the young choreographers of English National Ballet School are making. Young dancers need opportunities like this and it would be really exciting to find a dance maker of the future.”

 

Following the success of A day in the life of English National Ballet School, which was watched live by over 6,000 people across 23 countries and viewed by an additional 15,000 thousand on demand, we will be live streaming the competition via http://www.artstreamingtv.com/.   

 

This annual competition has grown in profile and endeavour in recent years, gives our students the opportunity to showcase their emerging choreographic talents. The competition will be performed in front of a prestigious panel of judges including Mark Baldwin and Kerry Nicholls and  lead by the highly respectedArlene Phillips. The live stream will be presented by Faye Barker, presenter and reporter for ITV News and ITV News London.

Samira Saidi, Director of Dance at English National Ballet School, said “Choreography is the way forward. It is the lifeblood of dance. Our students can only benefit from being creative and imaginative. Choreography is hard. It requires discipline, courage, confidence and teamwork. It forces you to really listen and explore music. It helps you to discover your strengths and

the finished results can be extremely rewarding and educating. This is why it is part of our curriculum”.
