Founded by Helen Ida Mortimer in the grounds of a Prep School run by Miss Violet Crisp, Elmhurst Ballet School is one of the oldest vocational dance schools in Britain. It was based at premises in Camberley, Surrey, before moving to purpose-built premises in Edgbaston, Birmingham in 2004. Elmhurst draws strongly upon its association with Birmingham Royal Ballet.
