London Children’s Ballet welcomes Gary Avis MBE, Principal Character Artist and Senior Répétiteur of The Royal Ballet as its new Patron.  He joins illustrious colleagues and fellow Patrons from The Royal Ballet – Lauren Cuthbertson, Steven McRae and Anna Rose O’Sullivan.

 ‘I am so excited and honoured to be asked to be a Patron of London Children’s Ballet, an organisation with a wealth of knowledge and experience that gives children the ability to nurture their creativity, develop their talent and feed their souls with the beauty and valuable artistry that dance, ballet and performance give, not only to the individual but also to their audiences. In a world where artistic culture, and the magic of dance theatre are needed more than ever, I am energised, inspired and committed to help continue the legacy of LCB’s great work and its ongoing success.’ 

Artistic Director of Productions at London Children’s Ballet Ruth Brill adds ‘We are delighted to welcome Gary Avis to our stellar list of LCB Patrons. His passion, drive and dedication to the arts is an inspiration to us all. He is a master of theatre and a lynchpin of The Royal Ballet. We look forward to working with him and learning from him.’
