love for ballet

Well if your daughter is serious about ballet, I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket when there are so many good and established associate schemes. The more audition experience the better if you are considering applying for Lower Schools later on, so why not also look at RBS JAs, London Junior Ballet, Tring Park CBA etc? They are all within reach of Kent. RBS has a lovely "JA for the day" taster day.

i totally agree anna c.. that is exactly what we ll be doing.. 

the thing is - i believe the more they do the better.. i don't mind if a school is NEW or OLD.. what matters is that the training os taken seriously.. so, i will be going for all .. and see what the outcome will be.. you can only try. 

Also South East Ballet Scholars? I've no personal experience or affiliation but another good option? Really there are so many schemes in and around Kent you're spoilt for choice if you put your mind too it!!

thank you petalviolet ...i will certainly look at that too... wahoo so many options . 

Do let your dd's teacher know she's auditioning though, as a matter of courtesy

oh yeas of course - i mentioned it to her earlier.. and she's super happy to go for prima associates, and all thats is available for us.. she said the program looks good, and infant will be sending some of the other students too... .  

thank you so much all for the so much information to digest.. wawoooo 

i think for us it will be worth trying , as it is local, plus it really does sound good... 

i will have a look at the others further out too of course...

Auditions ???? - oh dear !

It's good you recommend the teachers, that's a good sign .

I'm going to look at their FB and web sight will keep you posted .

But thank you that's great help .

i ve just found it , THE PRIMA ASSOCIATES .. it looks and sounds really good.. does any one know anything about it? or know of the teachers? 

oh really? thanks lema , i will have a look . 

Dear all, 

First time to post something on here.. so here goes.. 

My daughter who is 8yrs, is showing some potential in ballet. We live in Kent , and i was wondering if any one has any ideas on where to take her for better training. 

I have seen some threads on here regarding associate classes.. what are they?  

I have also noticed that you need to audition? 

I don't particularly what to travel too far , or is there no choice?  

hope some one can shed light to all this ? 

thankyou
