Firebird Academy of Ballet was founded in 2019 by Cassandra Seeger, the principal of the school.

In a fun and imaginatively engaging environment, the school provides superb dance training to students in Coulsdon and surrounding areas. We aim to inspire the passion to dance by opening hearts to the joy of ballet, and we pride ourselves in motivating our dancers to achieve their full potential. Our students are given the opportunity to explore their creativity, realize their dreams, and to delight in personal achievements, all the while surprising themselves and others with their success.

FAB empowers each dancer with opportunities to perform on stage in yearly productions, and they have the option to participate in the exam process with the Royal Academy of Dance when deemed ready. For those students who have demonstrated quality dance execution and are especially keen to challenge themselves, we support their aspirations in competitions at regional dance festivals.

Our students have already proven the quality of their education with a 100% exam pass rate of all distinctions and merits with the Royal Academy of Dance. We have had students audition and receive roles in productions of the Nutcracker and Coppelia with the English Youth Ballet and the National Youth Ballet’s Performance Company.
