No sorry- just the fees for associates at RCS are so much more than the fees for Scottish ballet associates

Hi, My DD has been with Scottish Ballet Mid Associates this past year and has been accepted on the associate programme for Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for 23/34. Ultimately her aim is to study the modern ballet degree at RCS…. I’m just wondering I anyone can shed any light as to why fees are SO much more at RCS (when worked out per hour) when the teachers seem to be the same as those at Scottish Ballet???

Many thanks everyone... it’s good to hear thoughts.... Any views on SB? They obviously are well known but the rumours of large class sizes are a concern...

Reputation is not particularly important to either of us.. I’d much rather she was happy and received quality training. She is slightly more swayed towards to schools she has heard about for the last few years. Agree class size would be good to know- EFB are clear but I’m hoping someone can enlighten me about class sizes of the others?!

Hello, First time posting! My daughter is auditioning for part time programmes- she has been accepted at Edinburgh Festival Ballet and SMB. The Scottish Ballet auditions have been moved to July. I have no experience of any of these programmes (she did an associate programme with another company we shall not talk about and didn’t particularly enjoy it). She (we) will need to make a decision about EFB and SMB before she’s even had the SB audition now- does anyone have any experience/knowledge of these programmes??? I’ve heard SB classes can be large? EFB have a maximum of 20 per class... but as they are new they obviously don’t have the presence/reputation of the other two... I’ve also heard S-M B Company is very different to the dance company Sara-Maria Barton was involved with.... any thoughts/experience would be gratefully received!
