British Harlequin plc has been associated with what are now known as The Wells Weekends, since its beginnings at Beechwood Sacred Heart School in Tunbridge Wells. Organiser Francesca Filpi now brings the story up to date.
The Wells Summer School has an exciting new format. It is now being held over weekends, known as the Wells Weekends, the first of which took place at the end of August at the Royal Opera House. The students were very privileged to have the chance to dance in the beautiful studios used by the dancers of the Royal Ballet. The studio floors are all supplied by British Harlequin plc. Francesca Filpi, who organises the Wells courses said, “Dancers and serious students have come to expect floors of the high quality which only Harlequin can provide. Floors are something we all take for granted, until we don’t have them! Only then do we realise how much more vulnerable to injury we are, if we have to work on hard floors, not specifically constructed for ballet “.
