#Repost @csbschool with @use.repost ・・・ Returning to the studio for our next #throwbackthursday, we are delighted to share this image taken in 1983 featuring Carole Gable.
Carole Gable, Founding Patron and Preserver of Christopher Gable’s Legacy and Ethos, was one of Central`s first ballet tutors, is a former Rehearsal Coach for the Ballet Central tour and also was appointed Ballet Mistress before joining the Board of Governors and becoming the Artistic Advisor – Gable Repertoire after her retirement. Carole is consistent part of Central`s history and success over the last 40 years.
Central`s approach to training has remained true to its founding principle, of creating employable dance graduates. The second image shows this training in our studios now, with one of our Ballet Tutors @amyhollins and 2024 graduate Shino Yasunaga.

"After graduating from Central School of Ballet, I joined Teatrul de Balet Sibiu.
My experience of Ballet Central was particularly helpful to me, such as learning how to work as a group with all the company members, how to prepare costumes, and how to adjust the performance to fit the size of the theatre.
My first performance as a professional dancer was Swan Lake. I performed in all acts, including corps de ballet in Act 1 and Swans, and the character dance in Act 3. There were some performances in two different cities in Romania, Sibiu and Oradea. It was hard physically and mentally however I was able to manage it thanks to a lot of support from my seniors and colleagues in the company.
We just had the first show of premiere of Cinderella. I am very honoured to be involved in the process of creating a new work from scratch with the choreographer. During the rehearsal process of Ballet Central, we all worked together to learn the choreography and responded to the choreographer`s small changes. This experience helped me a lot. I was able to enjoy the first performance and it was an unforgettable memory for me.
As well as these two works, we are also practicing The Nutcracker. Thankfully, I have been given various roles, such as the parent role in Act 1, Snow, Waltz of the Flowers, and Arabian. I am trying to learn as many roles as possible that I am not playing in case someone gets injured or can’t perform.
I`m looking forward to going on tour to Lithuania and Germany in November and December to perform these works."
