  1. @Neverdancedjustamum that really is great, and as it should be, really refreshing to hear.
  2. Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. This is quite an endorsement! I must say the part about them being organised really appeals to me, it drives me mad when emails disappear into the ether! Good for your dd in going where she felt happy. My daughter did a one day intensive at Central last year and did enjoy. I also feel the fact they have recently moved to new premises suggests an organisation doing well, and their website is impressive. I was a dancer myself, but that isn’t always an advantage when comparing the relative merits of these schools!
  3. Thank you so much for this, that’s really helpful. I have heard good things about Central associates.
  4. Thanks for your reply @Ballet Saga! Yes what you say makes sense regarding getting to know their ways and staff through associates. Yes I’m conscious that the next 2 years will fly by, so trying to make an early start thinking about it all!
  5. We are considering Central for my daughter at age 16 (currently in year 9), but would be interested to know whether being a Central associate would be an advantage in regards to getting a place? She is currently an ENB associate, but we obviously don’t know whether she will be offered further training with them next year and the year after, hence considering other associate schemes as well. Any views on the 16+ course at Central would also be appreciated! It looks like a good course, and I was pleased to see that it can be funded with a student loan (from what I can gather, this is only the case for Central, Northern and Rambert). We live a commute from London, hence she could travel daily there. Many thanks.
  6. Yes the subject line said spring for ours, but it says summer in the email (we didn’t apply for spring).
  7. We got waitlist too. We only selected 1 option in terms of dates, I wonder if that didn’t help (daughter currently in year 9, and fewer dates for that age it seems). It does rather leave you in limbo. Would be interested to know if anyone has insight on likelihood of getting a place off the waitlist.
  8. Hello, fellow ENBS associate parent here! Just wondering what people are getting for the ‘plain, fitted black tracksuit bottoms’ for contemporary. Would something like this be suitable do we think? https://www.movedancewear.com/move-dance-desire-jersey-pant-p7404/ I’m just not sure how ‘fitted’ they will be on skinny legs!
  9. I agree I wouldn’t view it as a way to get into the associated vocational school, just as a supplement to existing training. One thing that appeals to me with ENBS now is that it includes some contemporary, something my daughter hasn’t done before, and which I feel will be beneficial. Does anyone know how long ENB associates has been running? I actually thought it was new, but can see that’s not the case.
  10. We’re in the same position, ENBS mid associate offer, and due to attend Central audition on Sat, with train strike difficulties! Haven’t decided yet what we’ll do, but the ENBS programme does sound good.
  11. Thanks, sounds great! Think we’re def going to apply.
  12. Thanks, silly question, but what did you search? I wasn’t having much luck.
  13. I couldn’t find a thread on this, so apologies if I’ve missed one, but just wondering whether anyone has any experience/views on Central School of Ballet associates? Looking for my daughter, who’s going into year 9 in Sept. Many thanks.
  14. I agree that wait list just leaves you in limbo, my daughter got wait list for Royal too for the same week as YBS, obviously I’m not expecting either to come up, but you just don’t know.
