JoJo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 For those looking for a different European destination and Russian training, my daughter attended the Vaganova Ballet Academy Masterclass in Finland, run by the Vaganova Ballet Academy from St Petersburg as part of the Dance Open Festival, summer before last. It was a great experience culminating in a final performance for the students and a gala with professionals from top European ballet companies. Here is the link to the 2015 Masterclass: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vaganova-Ballet-Academy-Master-Class-in-Mikkeli/387729417916570?sk=timeline My DD reviewed it in her blog (see link below, along with the Royal Ballet summer school of the same year). Bristol Russian Ballet School also feature in the post and run an excellent, Vaganova method summer school in Bristol each year: http://talaleeturton.wordpress.com/2013/08/30/looking-ahead-after-my-summer-break/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballet4life Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I would like to say that my daughter attended the Natalia Kremen Ballet School Vaganova Summer Intensive 2014 and found it amazing. Challenging, fun and rewarding. It gave her lots of incentive to work hard, focus and understand the life of a professional dancer. Highly recommended! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerbread Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 My DD is at vocational school (year 12) which does mainly classical ballet, but also some musical theatre, singing, contemporary dance. DD has found, at the moment, that she is really really enjoying the contemporary and musical theatre! Would it be a good idea for her to do a summer school focusing on these areas or stick to the ballet for now? And can anyone recommend a good summer school for vocational students which has a lot of emphasis on drama/singing/contemporary/other forms of dance? Thanks!

Part of me would say to stick to concentrating on the Classical Ballet,as ,technically speaking it is the most demanding so the more training in it,the better. However the other part of me says,to do whichever would be the most enjoyable,and if this means a mix of styles,then go for it. Sorry if that`s not much help.!!

taxi4ballet Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I notice on the Tring website that their dance summer school now has a residential option this year as well as non-residential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Oh really. Might look into that for dd as she fancied it last year but non residential put us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesizzi Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 MY DD did this last year and really enjoyed it. I have just seen that the cost is £150 junior and £170 seniors. West end professionals daily giving workshops in Cats, Mary Poppins and the SNow White ballet by the principal of Vienna Festival. Think I have got info right. Here is the flyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastel Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks cotes du rhone ! . Now we have to make a decision on The Joffery School in Florance. Or Teatro dell'Opera in Rome. Has any ones DC. attended any of these ?. Hi I know this was a while back, but I just came across it. My dd did Joffrey Florence in 2012 and loved it! She would like to go back again this year not sure about funds. It was small and intimate, excellent teaching. The student standard was not as high as others she attended but the personal attention made up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
