RachaelMarie28 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi everyone! I am so pleased to have found the Balletco forum as it seems like a lovely supportive group of people. I will be setting up a dance school for adults from the end of January/early February and I just wondered what other people thought of the idea. It won't be attached to a children's dance school as I want to concentrate solely on teaching adults. I will be offering ballet and tap classes for beginners and improvers. I wanted to offer classes in a non-competitive environment where adults can receive the maximum level of attention and concentration from their teacher. I aim to be up and running in February and will be offering classes in Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in the classes or have any helpful advice (I am always looking for useful advice!)

Tulip Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 All the very best of luck with your adult ballet school. I think that there will be a lot of adults interested in this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Welcome to the Forum,RachaelMarie28. I hope your new venture proves to be a huge success. Are you already teaching dance at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachaelMarie28 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thank-you for the support. I wanted to set-up an adult dance school because I returned to dancing after university and was so frustrated with not being able to find a ballet or tap class which concentrated on my needs as an adult learner. Many schools are very supportive of their adult learners, which is fantastic, but have so many children's exam and festival classes that I think adult learners can sometimes feel almost lost among the many classes. I am not offering classes at the moment as I am completing my teacher training but I will need to recruit a qualified dance teacher soon (preferably RAD) so I can start operating my school in January/February time. If anyone knows of any good websites where I can recruit a dance teacher please let me know. Thanks. Rachael-Marie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachaelMarie28 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thank-you Tulip, I just wish there were more adult dance schools outside of London so more adults can benefit from the advantages of ballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachaelMarie28 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Can anyway recommend a website where I can advertise for a freelance dance teacher as I desperately need a RAD qualified teacher in order to get my dance school venture up and runnning?

Harwel Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Have you contacted the RAD directly? They have all qualified teachers on a register. They may know of some who are freelance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
