sarahw Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks all. Angel dc is too young now but should I come into a fortune Wells Away looks like an amazing opportunity! ! The Wells stuff in the UK is a good future option. All4dancers I will look at Tring and Chaperone Dance Forward as well. What amazing opportunities there are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Tring ballet intensive does look great! Dance forward is an amazing course with Sarah Lamb and ENB soloists teaching. My dd had a fabulous time with Wayne sleep and Begoña Cao at Easter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletdancer5299 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Central Ballet School are running a dance day in Glasgow on the 25th of October 2014 and one in London on the 23rd of November 2014. It's an opportunity for young dancers from 12 - 16 years old to learn more about life in full time dance training. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerndancemum Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 anyone know of anything for Junior level? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaybackSapphire Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Dance forward looks lovely but is pricey at £300 for three days, would have to starve for a couple of weeks!! DD booked at the Tring Ballet Intensive though, very excited about it. Edited for iPhone spelling....

along for the ride mum Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I agree, it does look lovely but v pricey ! I am wondering how much other parents think is a reasonable price for this kind of thing? I am not in any way connected to this or any other dance related enterprise, just curious. In my head I have a figure of around £80 for a day as something I could live with, but above that I would really have to consider very carefully! Am I just behind the times?

SwaybackSapphire Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hi along for the ride. No I don't think so, the last summer school (residential, so bedding and all meals etc) DD attended was £475 for a week, non residential was £275. Maybe I'm behind the times too!!

along for the ride mum Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was comparing it to the cost of a residential SS and the costs just don't stack up, having said that, it does look like a lovely course with a great faculty and in a great location, but how much is that worth?

angel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The faculty is pretty amazing though. Imagine how much Sarah Lamb and Wayne Sleep are paid for teaching on these courses. If your DD is able to take just one special correction away then in my opinion it is money well spent. I've spent more money than I care to think about on low quality training 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
along for the ride mum Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Good point Angel, I can see that point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 My DD is only doing one of these days this time. The Wells Masterclass is £55 for 2 hours 45 minutes but again, I believe is money well spent. That said, a private lesson or two with a good teacher may be more valuable. It all depend on what your DD needs at any given time. Sometimes it's really good to be in a class next to lots of other fabulous dancers just to see where they 'fit' in terms of ability. There is a danger of being a big fish in a small pond if you don't put yourself out there and it can be a big shock when it comes to auditions. It never ceases to amaze me how many exceptionally talented dancers there are out there. A lot of them not at vocational school but working towards their goal for post 16 training 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I actually think that the weeks rest in October half term is more important, especially as it's such a long term and depending on schools, children may also be involved in productions towards the end of the year. Do vocational schools have two weeks off at half term? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The Danceforward classes are consecutive Sundays 19th, 26th and 3rd November. I'm not sure about Elmhurst but I know that Hammond and White Lodge are not involved in Christmas productions this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Tring get one week half term and the younger children will be involved with ENBs nutcracker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
