Thank you. As it happens I've booked her into an RAD summer course in Dartington this July. She can't do residential this year as she us to be 9 so I'll be staying down there for the week and will take her every day.

That would be great for us, thank you. I know I've missed the application dates for this year but at least I know where I'm looking now ????

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately the RAD one is only for 4 months as in the spring it's in Devon for 4 months and that is too far away for us. I will definitely book dd in to the Gloucester one though. I know some older children that go to Ballet Cynru and they thoroughly enjoy it. It looks like dd has a lot to look forward to in the next few years.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum so forgive me if my questions have already been answered previously, I have looked though past questions and not found the answers. My dd is 8 years old and is studying grade 2 RAD ballet twice a week. She absolutely loves it and has asked me to do more ballet. I have been looking on here and online to try and find out more about associate classes and have decided that most are too far for me travel, I live on the south west coast of Wales so everywhere is quite far really. I would be therefore looking (for the time being) at associates as far as Bristol Gloucster etc. I have found an RAD associates in Gloucster that runs for 4 months but does anyone know of any that run throughout the year in those areas? I have also read about the Cecchetti one that is in Newport. Does anyone have any knowledge specifically of the Newport Cecchetti associates? Thank you
