she was 11 the 1st time  13 the 2nd and 14 the 3rd ...they are put into groups but all get the same amount of dances in the show.... it is split into Dance and MT and they go to see a show in London too ..my daughter does not do tap and you only audition for the tap number if you want to.....

It is truly wonderful..  amazing teachers from the school, you cannot fault the organisation, the host families do it most years, they are very well looked after, my dd had the time of her life... tears when it all ended, but friends made that she still keeps in contact with. At the end of the week they put on a performance which I have no idea how they manage it in a week... even with costumes...... I seriously cannot recommend it highly enough

My thoughts are the same ..is it the adult promoting the child to see if anyone notices them?... anyone can look and see where your child is heading that day and look at pictures... I also worry that the children who follow the ones doing so well can get upset  if they have knock backs ..I know a young girl who became quite poorly with all the competition of photos etc on these sites .... I personally have no interest to be looking at teenagers I don't know photos etc ..that would just be wrong.... but we all have our own views....

I find this very disturbing ...why would you want strangers to see where your DC train, audition, their day to day whereabouts and pictures in leotards?. To me its just trying to promote your child .. its unhealthy and will spiral out of control. 

congratulations ... may I ask what day you did the audition and if you got to do solo, physio etc, also was it an email or letter ...just trying to work out wait time as we were only last week

well my DD is continually being told shes weak even though she has long lean muscles and no bulk...then she has had huge growth spurts and is looking strangely out of proportion ..I don't know if its good to push a body to be stronger during this huge growing bambilike phase

oh i found it on page 3 Christchurch summerschool looks fab

there was a summerschool on here near The New Forest, Lilac looked really good in a theatre with production im not sure where it was advertised though

I dont know if anyone has heard of this amazing summer intensive .... I am full of admiration for these people and they do not charge over priced fees which some of us just cannot afford...highly recommendhttp://www.watkinsdance.co.uk/WatkinsDance-Summer-Course.html

Alot of theatres do good acting youth schools at the weekends ...i know Wimbledon one is amazing....Brit has a sat acting school

Have you looked at http://www.ballaredance.co.uk/ cannot reccomend this teacher highly enough

so do they just do one ballet class per day followed by all the other styles..... thank you for all your advice

Can anyone tell me more about the actual summerschool ie standard and if they do other types of dance and weather it is every day for the 2 weeks or do they not go at the weekends ... i cant seem to find anyone who has done it or maybe most come from abroad ..thank you

Hello  just wondering if anyone knows or has done the RBS summerschool at Covent Garden for the 2 weeks? My DS is thinking of applying but not sure if it is all Ballet, very intense and if you go every day for the 2 weeks or is it Monday to Friday? and what times or generally any other feedback would be most helpfull.

dont think its just for young dancers....pre vocational and 1st years i heard....guy running it, is an inspiration and has endless passion

Just wondering if anyone is going to or heard of LONDON CHILDRENS BALLET Masterclass this Sunday with Lauren Cuthbertson and Nehemiah Kish at the R.O.H Linbury...it looks really great ...It is posted by Bruce on dance news and info.....
