Nicola Moriarty Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hello my name is Nicola Moriarty. I am the principal of Woodside Dance Retreat We have just released an exciting new International Summer School. Edward Watson, Mara Galeazzi, Sarah Wildor and David Yow are the tutors. There are only 12 places to maximise learning and attention. All food is prepared on site and is nutritionally balanced organic and where possible locally produced. As well as 6 days of classes we visit the theatre and have a photo shoot. This is just a brief guide. Kind regards Nicola Moriarty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanprincess Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Nicola What is the cost of the summer school, and is accommodation included? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Nicola, I've had a look round your website. As sea princess asked what is the cost as there are no prices at all mentioned which is very unusual. It also isn't clear who your summer schools are aimed at? It looks interesting but I'd like more details & a bit more background as you state you are head of dance at one of England's top performing arts establishments.

Picturesinthefirelight Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks for for the PM with info. I Have to admit I've not heard of the college where you are head of dance which is unusual as my husband has taught at several leading dance/MT institutions - I'll ask him if he knows of it. Will there be prices on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Prices and age ranges please ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Moriarty Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi All Thank you for your comments. Sorry for the confusion over prices and age ranges. These are not stated on our website as we encourage all our potential guests to get in touch and discuss these elements with us personally. As our courses are for a maximum of only 12 guests, age is not that important as with 2 teachers normally in most classes, the work/exercises can be tailored to each individuals needs. We feel it would be better to be 14 plus and be at an Intermediate standard or above. To clarify for all that may be interested, our two International summer schools 'Principles Week' and 'Creatives Week' are £1695.00 per week. This is an all inclusive bases for accommodation, food, drinks and all classes by our world class faculty. Plus we will head out on location for a professional photo shoot, and a West End show. Many of you may consider this expensive, but please remember we have some of the best dancers/teachers in the world coming to teach for you, and also there will only be 12 guest maximum. This will give you the chance to really learn from these incredible names. We have just launched our marketing of this programme in Japan, and have interest from Australia, Spain & Italy. So it is hoping to be a real international affair. We do hope we have some representation from the UK. This is our new Venture by a Dance loving family, turning our home into this Luxury Retreat to deliver quality courses for dancers, and dance teachers. We are looking to build a network of like minded individuals. A 'Woodside Dance Retreat family' were you just can't, not dance. We welcome questions or suggestions, please get in touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I was just day dreaming and thinking how wonderful it would be if 12 boys/ young men could spend a day with Ed Watson - now that would be a dream come true ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Moriarty Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Our Classical Ballet Summer Course is going to be epic, we have only 12 places therefore you will receive a huge amount of attention during this Principal Dancers Week from our wonderful Teachers. David Yow and Sarah Wildor will each spend the day with you whilst Edward Watson will work with you for three incredible days. Your days will be spent dancing alongside the industries best and your evening will be filled with music fun and games. There will also be wonderful creative workshops, gymnastics, photo shoots, and trips.Really this is a week you will never forget.The Course begins on the 30th of July and ends on the 6th of August. It is aimed at students that wish to dance professionally and are at Intermediate or over. I am posting to make you aware that Edward has agreed to spend 3 whole days with our students, and that we are offering 10% if you book before April the 30th. This course will be like a holiday hard work of course, but great fun. www.woodsidedanceretreat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthebest2all Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 What an amazing opportunity. I hope there are some people out there who can afford to take it up. Possibly lots of potential candidates are waiting on other summer schools still. There are those very blinkered by being seen at the big schools but I hope some will come your way instead.

Nicola Moriarty Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Thank you for this lovely message. We are having a lot of interest all of a sudden, and have some lovely students booked.

Nicola Moriarty Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) I am posting regarding our Woodside Dance Retreat Summer School on the 30th July - 6th August 2016. Edward Watson MBE who will be teaching for 3 full days is very generously funding two 50% places. Ideally one girl and one boy. He would like to choose who receives his scholarships so we would require a short video of any of students that would like to apply. Dance part: No more than a minute long, and also a clip of your DD or your DS speaking of why they feel that Edward should fund their place. Please email it to nicola@woodsidedanceretreat. Please let me know if you need any more information. The fees are normally £1695 which with a half scholarship this is reduced this to £847.50 this includes all classes, accommodation all food, drink, airport transfers, on location Photo shoot and theatre trip. Guest would need to arrange their own flights but we would of course collect them from the airport. We only have 12 places on each of our courses so each student has maximum attention from the Principals.

Nicola Moriarty Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Dear members. The closing date for The Edward Watson 50% Scholarship is the 3rd of June. Kindest Regards Nicola Moriarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Moriarty Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I have 1 day place available to work wit Edward Watson at Woodside Dance Retreat Principal Week, and 2 spaces with Sarah Wildor. Edward Watson is £200 and the dates to choose from are 2nd or 3rd of August and Sarah Wildor is on Friday the 5th of August. We also have a few places for our Creative Week. Cathy Marston is flying in from Basel especially. Its a great opportunity to work with both classical choreographers and those from different genres. Our aim is to help young dancers and professionals have longevity in this ruthless industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
