Gina Tse, founder

Giving back — teaching from the heart to spread the joy of dance
 

​

Gina Tse began her ballet training at the age of three and entered The Royal Ballet School in London for pre-professional training at age ten. She danced with the English National Ballet before joining The Royal Swedish Ballet in 2004.
There, she was promoted to First Soloist in 2007 and became a Principal Dancer in 2011—the same year she was named Dancer of the Year in Stockholm.  Gina has performed with the Stockholm 59° North soloists and was nominated for the prestigious Benois de la Danse award at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 2016. She has also danced for the Swedish Royal Family on numerous occasions, including performances at The Nobel Banquet and the Opening of Parliament with Swan Lake. 
 

In addition to her distinguished dance career, Gina has an extensive teaching background. She is currently a frequent guest teacher with The Royal Swedish Ballet Company and also teaches abroad at various elite vocational schools in the UK, such as Elmhurst Ballet School and Yorkshire Ballet Seminars.

She serves as a judge in international competitions and Chairman Judge for entry to The Royal Swedish Ballet School and Gothenburg National School. Alongside this Gina is Casting Director for the Nordics in collaboration with Fever Up Company. Gina is actively teaching students of all ages and levels at her own founding school.

Gina is actively involved in all associate levels.

Mentor to Junior, Pre-Mid, Mid associates and Trainee proffs.

Faculty

The International Ballet School has built much of its reputation on the calibre of its staff and its teaching ethos. Carefully selected from among the very best, the teaching team and internationally acclaimed guest dancers conduct workshops, choreograph performances and hold inspirational courses for all levels of skill.
 

The primary staff cover a broad spectrum of professional skills and classical specialisation, and their awards and accolades speak for themselves.
