It will be a forty minute walk, then an hour and a half train ride then a forty five minute walk or a fairly short bus ride. We will probably walk as it's cheaper unless the weather is bad. Half the time it's quicker than waiting for buses anyway. At least my son is quite fit anyway with all the walking and biking! I am going to ask if there is any possibility of burseries etc.

Thank you for the replies and welcome messages. I have been away so I'm only just responding. It looks like it is the associate classes for us!

Thank you! He is eleven and I forgot to say that he absolutely loves dancing! We are very restricted as to what we can do not have a large income and we live in a fairly rural area. I don't have a car so we walk, bike or use public transport. I would like to make the most of the opportunities that I can give him. The associates scheme will involve a lot of travelling using public transport and will take up most of the day, but these schemes seem to be important.

I have been lurking for a while but haven't contributed as my son has only been dancing for eighteen months and he has been doing one ballet lesson a week. His teacher said that he has potential so we had a go at auditioning for vocational school. He got offered a place but didn't get funding so we can't accept the offer. He has also been given a place on a good vocational school ballet associates scheme for September but his teacher has now got a weekly slot for a private lesson. The associate scheme will involve a lot of travelling and expense for a two hour lesson and he can't do the private lesson and the associates. I have no ideal which would be preferable. Obviously this is quite a general question and no one can really know but I would love some advice. Thank you!
