Auriens Partners with the English National Ballet School

This partnership offers a meaningful opportunity for our community to champion emerging talent while experiencing world-class dance up close. Many of our residents already have longstanding connections with ballet through their personal and philanthropic support, making this collaboration a natural extension of our shared commitment to the arts.

Residents and Friends of Auriens can look forward to more exclusive performances, behind-the-scenes insights, and opportunities to follow the student’s artistic journey throughout their training and beyond.

Amanda Skoog, Executive Director of ENBS said:

“Embarking on our first corporate partnership with Auriens Chelsea is an exciting milestone for our school. This partnership is especially meaningful as both Auriens and ENBS are based in Chelsea, reflecting our shared commitment to community, opportunity, and nurturing the next generation of exceptional young dancers.”

Patricia Greenwood, Director of Partnerships at Auriens Chelsea, said:

“We’re delighted to partner with the English National Ballet School, a much-loved institution already well known to many of our residents. We’re proud to support a talented student as they develop their skills and look forward to following their progress throughout their training and beyond. Our residents will greatly enjoy engaging with the student’s journey and attending performances as part of our cultural programme.”

Auriens Chelsea residents, many of whom share a deep love of ballet, have also expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership. One resident commented:

“We are delighted that Auriens will be supporting a first year student throughout their three year professional training programme at the English National Ballet School. As a former dancer myself, I feel especially proud that we, as residents of Auriens Chelsea, can help nurture such exceptional young talent at this renowned institution, just minutes from our own home. We’re looking forward to following the student’s journey and engaging more deeply with the School’s inspiring work through rehearsals, masterclasses, and performances.”
