The performances take place in unconventional spaces, adding a unique and innovative twist to traditional ballet productions.

BiSS also aims to tap into the local enthusiasm for dance. By offering classes and performances, they strive to engage and inspire a wider audience in Oxford. Their inclusive approach encourages individuals of all ages and backgrounds to experience and appreciate ballet.

The school is led by Susie Crow, an Oxford-based dance artist, choreographer, and teacher. With an impressive background in ballet, including dancing for the Royal Ballet Senior School and the Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet, Susie brings a wealth of experience and expertise to BiSS.
