Nasjonalballettskolen

Kirsten Flagstads plass 1, Gamle Oslo

The National Ballet's own school, offering foundation training in classical ballet from ages 6 to 16. This is not a local beginners' class: pupils are admitted through annual auditions, and the aim is partly to feed talent into the National Ballet and fill children's roles in the company's productions. The final three years are run together with Ruseløkka school in a combined school-and-ballet programme, the only one of its kind in Norway, drawing applicants from across the country. Approved for the Oslo leisure card.
