Hi dancegrad,
Masters of Ballet Academy have a 3 hour session on a Sunday with Resmi Malko (Boys/Men's Teacher at Central School of Ballet), which is 90 minutes Ballet Class and then 90 minutes Pas de Deux.
They have an excellent reputation and more details of the school can be found here:

I agree. It’s time to find safety in numbers and speak up.
in the meantime I’m going to contact the local LADO for the school that my DC attended…

We applaud those parents and students from all schools who are brave enough to speak up in order to support and protect those who come after them, so ballet students in the future can train without fear…

It looks as though you don't, since I'm not logged in to LI on this particular browser, yet still managed to read it.
Were you able to access his contact email Alison? He has said to me that as he has a designated email address just for private coaching, he's happy for me to list his email address if I'm allowed by the moderators?

For any young DS’s (or DD’s) out there, I’ve heard that ex Royal Ballet Company Principal Rupert Pennefather will be taking on a few students for private weekly coaching, mainly based at IAF.
He taught my Dd pas de deux last year before she went to Central and he was absolutely fantastic.
I can’t give his email out but I believe he’s contactable via LinkedIn.

Just direct message me 😊

They are Sarah. They're yours if you'd like them. I can send you my bank details and then email you the e-tickets.
Many thanks,
Fiona

Two tickets in row B for tonight's sold out screening of Manon. £15 face value, selling them at £10 each.
"On Friday 28 December 2018, the Royal Opera House Cinema Festival continues with Kenneth MacMillan’s tragic masterpiece Manon. One of the most moving ballet dramas of all time, Manon is full of spectacular choreography which demands powerful actors as well as gifted dancers. Royal Ballet Principal Sarah Lamb stars in the title role, opposite Vadim Muntagirov"

Atacrossroads - I think we should be careful not to identify individual students without their permission, but your information is a few weeks out of date. Five full-time YDA students have been offered places at ENBS (including 3 who have been there since Year 7) and two WLSD students too. Well done to all of them! And the others, vocational and non-vocational, who have gained places at all the leading schools.
Thank you, my Dd is one of the lucky ones who has been offered a place at one of the top schools this year.
When it’s your time to be in Year 11 and know how it feels to go through the US process, how distressing it is for parents and students to have No’s or WL with their futures and everything they’ve worked for hanging in the balance, you’ll realise how insensitive it is to post about other’s success unnecessarily in order to inflate the profile of a school.
I can’t correct what you’ve posted without identify people, but what you and Amos73 are stating is wholly incorrect I’m afraid.

Yes, YDA train with WLSD in the evenings (rather than the other way around). One of the girls from WLSD who’s been offered ENBS has just been doing one Saturday class a week since the end of last year, the other is not exclusively trained by WLSD. The two boys have been there a few years though but the girl for one year.
i think it’s important to paint an unbiased account when it comes to Year 11 results as prospective parents rely on these to make important decisions about school choices.
this is not to take away from YDA’s success though.

For a small school their results are very good, but I’m afraid that it was in fact two students offered ENBS from WLSD, (one joined in September), one girl who joined YDA this year and two boys.
They have done very well however placing all their students in great schools again.

Yes a video was recordered we are praying a place comes available as it was her first choice of a school a long painful few months I think!
There are girls not accepting their places so fingers crossed that something comes up in the next few weeks 🤞🏻

My dd has been put on the waiting list for central is it true that if places become available that candidates on the list have to go for another audition!? Tia
I have no idea if this is true or not Ballet4ever, but they did say on the day that all the auditions were recorded, so hopefully they can just review candidates on the video when places become available. I hope your Dd gets her place there!

Our post man has been as well and the postal version of the email Elmhurst letter has not come ...
I suppose that means they were not ready in time for the post!
we have one week to accept so you can expect some movement on waiting lists after a week as I’m sure several students have other offers to consider.....
try to distract yourselves for the weekend it sounds like it will be Mondays post at the earliest....sorry to have gotten your hopes up for today! 😬
Thank you BillyElliott for letting us know. Central will be a good distraction for many of them tomorrow.
So pleased your DS has his place ☺️

Masters of Ballet Academy in West London run their classes 6 days a week after school and weekends, taught by industry professionals.
Full disclosure: my daughter went to the school and was very happy there. I now work for the school.
