About us
Edinburgh Ballet Theatre

Edinburgh Ballet Theatre (EBT) is a non-professional dance company of diverse, enthusiastic adult dancers from all over the world. Our aim is to contribute to Edinburgh’s vibrant cultural scene and provide a means of expression for adult ballet students to perform from a range of backgrounds and levels of ability in a safe, encouraging, and body positive space. 

Founded in 2018, by Rachel Clowes and Vanessa Smer-Barreto, EBT rehearses weekly for an annual show which has included repertoire of The Sleeping Beauty, A Midsummer's Night Dream, original choreographic works and a sell out run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Have a look at our Productions both past and present.  

We hold weekly rehearsals which consist of a warm up class followed by repertoire for the upcoming production. We welcome dancers from an improver or above level. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for adults to perform rather than just teach ballet. There are a number of great adult ballet classes we are happy to signpost you to.  We are only able to accept dancers at the start of each show and spaces are limited. Please send us an email and we can let you know when we are welcoming new dancers.
