VIP Reception and Evening of Dance at Elmhurst Ballet School

  • Elmhurst Ballet School 249 Bristol Road Birmingham, England, B5 7UH United Kingdom (map)

WiBA invites you to join us for a fabulous evening of dance at Elmhurst Ballet School, associate school of Birmingham Royal Ballet based in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

This elegant event will begin with a music and canapé reception from 6pm, followed by a special performance of the school’s Voices and Virtues summer showcase, celebrating the bold voices of the next generation of dance creatives, while honouring the technical mastery of classical dance. A selection of delicious canapés will be served, curated and prepared by the award-winning Edgbaston restaurant, Chapter.

Having celebrated its 100th birthday in 2023 and the 20-year anniversary of its move from Surrey to Birmingham in 2024, Elmhurst’s philosophy is that talent is classless. Thanks to Government scholarships and the generosity of donors and supporters, the school ensures that talented young people from all backgrounds are able to access its world class dance training and education with over 80% of its students receiving financial assistance towards fees.

We are delighted to offer this exciting event at £27 for members and £31.50 for guests. This includes complimentary drinks and canapés at the pre-show reception. Places are limited for this event so early booking is recommended. Please note that smart dress is requested for this event.

Following the performance, Elmhurst will be hosting a black-tie Gala evening for donors and supporters which includes a seasonal two-course dinner curated and prepared by Chapter, with carriages at 10.30pm. This post-performance gala is a ticketed fundraising event, with all proceeds supporting the school’s charitable access and participation initiatives, including mentoring, student support, and outreach projects in the Birmingham area. Tickets are available for the Gala evening for £130 per person, or at a discounted rate of £110 per person if booked in a group of 10.
