Thanks 2dancersmum.  We are hoping we may get something from the school or CDD (Conservatoire for Dance & Drama) to help cover the fees. Such an enormous debt to leave with otherwise!

Can anyone shed some light on whats available for funding fees and living costs at Central School of Ballet.  We are Scottish. Expecting info pack in a few days but just wondering what others have done? Thank you.

Thanks for the replies, it sounds like it will suit him. I got a nice email from the director who said there is another boy his age going (the first week) so will probably go for that (please ask your daughter to be nice to him Parent Taxi!) He has only been dancing 2 years so good to know the ballet is unlikely to be too advanced for him. He is also a figure skater so is used to being surrounded by girls and is getting really excited now-and I just need to decide if I am ready for him to go alone!

Hi Trockodile, my boy had an absolute ball.  He loved it. They were well looked after by the staff and had lots of fun as well as dancing. He was 14 last year and when we went to pick him said he wanted to go back this year!

My daughter is a chaperone this year. There are always some boys from uk and overseas that attend. I will email ED who runs it and ask for you if you want. Great teachers again this year

Hi Guesty, I hope she enjoys the chaperoning! Would be good to know so I can tell my dancing boy that there are other boys going. Thanks. Yes, the faculty look great. DB's doing the 2nd week.
