Katymac Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 DD is off to do musical theatre & we have a fair idea about what her day will compose of - Jazz, tap, Ballet first thing, singing, acting etc But we were asked by a friend what a day at Rambert or Central or maybe Ballet West would look like Is anyone studying there prepared to give us an insight into a typical day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My daughter would also be interested to know what a typical day would be like at a vocational school particulary Ballet West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutette Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 When I asked my son who is a first year at central he said " but they're all different" . From what I can tell they have ballet every morning after a warm up. They are in at 8.15 to warm up 4 days with a slightly later start on Thursday. They also have an hour and a half ballet class on Saturday morning. They then have contemporary 3 x a week pas de deux x2 a week , Once a week : allegro (boys ) pointe (girls ) rep boys or girls Spanish ( mixed) Singing boys or girls. Dance studies mixed They are separate for ballet , mixed for contemporary Finishing time is between 3.15 and 4.45 but he's doing AS English from 5 til 7 3 evenings a week other AS subjects are at other times eg Saturday pm. Anything between half an hour and two hours for lunch. Hope that makes sense . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 From a post about Central in 2012: (unable to get the link to work between topics) 'DS is in Yr2 at Central. He has commented to me before that the boys in the year above him are possibly stronger in Contempory and the boys in his year are possibly stronger in Classical Ballet. So could vary from year to year.They have 6 lessons a week for Classical Ballet (Monday to Saturday), 3 lessons a week for Contemporary, 2 lessons a week for Pas de Deux plus see below for other types of lessons covered. Day starts for DS at 8.45am but has to be warmed up before lessons start so trys to be there by 7.45am and finishes during the week between 4.30pm-5.30pm or later. Plus any AS/A levels studied are worked in around all the dance lessons. DS seems to survive OK. :)' Choreography Spanish Dance Pilates Jazz Dance Drama Dalcroze Eurythmics Singing Contextual Studies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
