That's assuming that the company itself has a clear idea ...

What an inane comment. 

Who could be in the running .

May I ask, has Teo Dubreuil been off injured or taking a guest year with another company?

 

Teo was injured 

Ondine is quite right if you were foreign you were a guest artist 

It was part of the charter that only British or Commonwealth dancers could join the RB ,that is why Richard Cragun trained at the RBS but as an American could not join and went to Stuttgart ballet . When Alain Dubreuil moved to the RB from Festival Ballet he had to get a British passport.

i don’t know when it changed perhaps when the UK joined the EU

Jose Martinez has been named as the new director 

P D Q  go to Google France that’s how I got papsteram 

in reply to Sophoife about the dancing  Chacun son goût as they would say at the Palais Garnier.

The plot is no so much about dancing but the intrigues and machinations that happen .

L’Opera is a fictitious French Tv series about the POB slightly cliched , interesting nonetheless it deals with the internal politics of a major ballet company some of it rings very true .

it’s in French no subtitles get it on papstream free 

the dancing is not great but adequate 

Yes indeed it starts with a développé à la seconde , Time to go back to ballet class 😃

struggle with the high arabesque á la seconde, 

Jamesrhblack please enlighten me what is a high arabesque à la seconde !!!

The teacher in the clip  is Errol Adisson and the last boy that is seen is David WALL AGED 14 

Samira Saidi is stepping down from her position as Head of Intensive courses& International Relations 

Samira successfully built up the intensive courses and created the on line courses .

i’m sure the RBS will miss her 

she also did a great job at ENBS before being replaced by the disastrous Carlos Valcarcel 

wishing her all the best in her new ventures 

ENBS is not moving to Canning Town as they have a new 5 year lease in Fulham .is Tamara Rojo cutting ties with the school . The building in Canning Town was built to accommodate the school with great fanfare ,state of the art studio’s etc

Just revisiting this thread to see if anyone can update the information regarding accommodations and ENBS?  Did the school move locations and is this now a different issue for boarding?  Is the Queen Alexandra House still being used for the students?  We are traveling from out of the country and trying to assess the housing situation, prices, availability of food services, etc.  Any information would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

The school is staying in Hortensia Road as they have signed a new lease on the building. Although the studios are not as good as in Canning Town the environment and accommodation is far better than in the east end .

i would think that Q A house will still be used . 

I heard that the school is no longer going to move to the state of the art building that was to be the home of the company and school .

can anyone confirm, I thought it was part of the conditions that the school would be included

So according to the website both Spring and Summer 21 will be online again? Though I only got the email saying they won't invoice us yet. Feeling disheartened to see that it would be online from the website , will never get to see White Lodge..

To my knowledge RBS are planning to run residential courses for both spring and summer . The on line one is short I think you misread 

In a 2012 Dance tabs interview Desmond Kelly who had been the artistic director made it clear that there had been a conflict between Jessica Ward ( elmhurst principal) and himself saying that there was too much emphasis on academics as it was primarily a dance school . Seeing the performance of Elmhurst “Ballet Company “ at the Wells last year was disappointing in general pretty low standard.

it will be up to Carlos Acosta to decide what he wants to do 

Do not forget that the RBS is the official school of the RB and BRB ,Elmhurst is only associated to BRB which is very different . 

Replying to the different lifts in Swan Lake , both are valid, I prefer the jeté lift to the pressage , but when the pressage is done properly without lifting from an à la seconde plie it can be seamless , on the hops the partner steps on his left foot croisé after the fifth count and lifts and she flies up 

their coaches should know!

They are the original design 

Harold King founder of London City Ballet sadly passed today

It's al just really sad he was such a lovely dancer.

Sad for the children he abused and their families 

Thank you Floss 

Pleading guilty does not make him 33% less guilty , the law is an ass to abuse children is a disgrace.

Just to clarify, he pleaded guilty.

What is the difference, does it make him less guilty 

i feel sorry for his family
