This was a look at what goes on behind the scenes during the training sessions in preparation for a performance by the Central School of Ballet.

​

In all, I spent three sessions with them and got to know the extraordinary effort and dedication these young men and

women put in to achieve perfection. 

​

I have never seen more commitment and aspiration during these sessions and their concentration and ability to train for hours on

end was exemplary - I expect armed forces training is the nearest that people of this age get to pushing their bodies to the limit of their capability and endurance.

​

My thanks to all the students and the school who so agreeably allowed me access.
