I’m not quite sure why RBS has re-posted this article but it was written last year and discussed here:  http://www.balletcoforum.com/topic/18799-rbs-statement-on-ballet-competition-culture/?tab=comments#comment-262094

 

Unfortunately that thread had to be locked so if there is anything new in the article that warrants further discussion, please could everyone be mindful of our Forum rules so that we don’t have to lock another thread.

Anna: Had the article been taken down by RBS?  I only ask as it still carries a date of 7 November 2018.  With that in mind, I commend your warning to one and all that there is no need to rehash much of what was previously said on the matter.

I’m not sure, Ian.  For some unknown reason, RBS have re-posted it today on the school’s Facebook page.  It appears at first glance to be unchanged since November. 🧐

Is it because of the YAGP finals coming up.next week?

And one ex student has made the finals after leaving the school?
