leotardmum Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just seen this on FB and website now up and wonder if anyone looking at this for next year? x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Well, well, well. Had a look on the website - this could be interesting. A lot of opportunities there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yes I thought it looked good. Simple categories and rules for each one (I haven't yet read all the terms & conditions yet though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Interestingly, though #AllEngland is one of the hashtags on one of the event's FB posts, the dates do clash with some of the Regional Finals for AE, although perhaps there will be an element of collaboration to prevent any true overlap? Very interesting also to see the names of the schools and companies published as supporting the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) The dates (30th May to 1st June) are also quite close to the BBC Young Dancer 2019 final (18th May) - though the BBC Young Dancer category finals are apparently in March. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07gbzxt). Indeed, interesting list of schools and companies - though notably not RBS. From the name of this new competition, I thought it might be something like the Young British Dancer of the Year... but it appears that this is a completely international competition taking place in the UK. It does sound like an exciting venture - but this (and the recent discussion of ballet competitions) really makes me miss the YBDY, a real national treasure. Yes, there was always a bit of a disagreement e.g.about the 'British' criteria for entry, but It was always such a wonderful opportunity to see the best of British ballet training in a way which I understand was well integrated into students' curriculum, instead of detracting from it. and with no over-the-top glitz... The Spring performance of students from all the leading vocational schools which took place the year after YBDY ended was also amazing. Is there any other upcoming opportunity to see the best of British ballet schools? Yaffa Edited November 14, 2018 by Yaffa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda.ballet Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 We have been discussing this at our dance school, the students are very interested and it looks like there are lots of high level schools involved, notably the Bolshoi Academy. I have seen on their Instagram today that they have a 'BLACK (swan) FRIDAY' 25% off offer on applications, thought it would be worth adding to the thread. Offer ends midnight on Monday!!! www.britishballetgrandprix.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
