Hi, Does anyone have any experience of this Trainee Programme. My DD has been offered a place on the Trainee 2 programme. Many thanks

Do you mind me asking where your DD trained? Did you get much help from the school with applications etc.

Just finding the whole thing so stressful. DD has now had 1 offer for a training programme that we would have to pay for. If Covid hadn't had happened I don't think we would even consider it but we feel like we should give her one more year to make up for the training she missed. DD on the other hand is already looking at plan B!

Thank you for all your replies - really appreciate it.

Hi, My daughter is due to graduate from her ballet dance school this July. She started there in the September (aged 16) before the pandemic and in total has spent 8 months of her training dancing in our dining room on Zoom. We are being realistic and don't expect her to be successful in finding a contract with a company. Could anyone suggest ballet companies that have training programs that allow trainees to get stage experience for their CV's. We understand that these need to be paid for and you are dancing with the company for free but she really feels that she needs another year of training. She is willing to travel anywhere to do this! Many Thanks

My daughter is in her second year at Kings and we are so pleased that we accepted her place here rather than a bigger school. All the teaching staff are excellent and really encouraging. We have also been impressed with their online teaching during this pandemic.
