Hi. My daughter is both an Intermediate Associate at NB and a scholar. Northern Ballet - everyone gets an audition, it's very friendly and non-intimidating. They don't have to attend summer school unless they're CAT (she's never tried due to the commute and how much she loves her current teachers but it seems to be a wonderful scheme) but she has been on two and an Easter school and they were worth doing if at all possible. Scholars changed this year to include Jazz/Commercial and has a roster of teachers including ex Northern Ballet teachers and some really inspiring Jazz teachers. Auditions were different this year because of the changes but details should be online soon I believe. Times depend on age - my daughter misses the first class due to Northern and is there until 4.45 and they have been fine about her missing the first class. They are both pretty strict about attendance and it does count towards getting places the next year. Photo wise, we did send proper photos in but any worries just email them and ask - I can't stress how helpful they are. If this helps at all my daughter really loves both and even though Saturdays are a very long day she wouldn't drop either willingly.
