Powerhouse Ballet's Romantic Ballet Workshop

Sara Horner and Members of the Company   On Sunday 24 Sept 2023, we combined our September company class from  Sara Horner  with  Jane Tucker's  intensive workshop on La Sylphide .  We enjoyed the workshop so much that we have decided to rehearse it over the next few weeks and offer it to Dance Studio Leeds's Celebration of Dance at the Chroma-Q Theatre in Leeds on 25 Nov 2023.
