Outreach  

Ballet West is proud to continue its long-standing commitment to bringing dance to more people in the west of Scotland. Ballet West graduate and member of the Royal Academy of Dance, Amanda MacArthur and her team of highly qualified teachers, currently offer classes in Oban, Taynuilt, Fort William, Gairloch, Ullapool and Campbeltown as the Ballet West Outreach Programme continues to grow and reach more people.

Ballet West founder, Gillian Barton, said “We are very pleased to reach out to communities beyond our base at Taynuilt and bring dance to as wide a range of people as possible. Amanda is an enthusiastic, motivational and talented teacher with a special gift for teaching young children, including those as young as two years. I have every confidence that those who attend her classes will have a wonderfully fun time learning to dance.”

In the future it is hoped to involve more rural and island communities within Argyll and further afield.

If anyone would like the Ballet West Outreach programme to extend to their community or further information on the existing programme, they should contact Ballet West at balletwest@btconnect.com
