    hi ! i did summer school there last summer and it was amazing ! I'm not sure what the junior one is like as I have only done the senior one, and i am also unsure as to how it compares to ybs, but I had 1.5 hours of ballet, contemporary and creative, and 45 mins conditioning and 30 minutes of pointe and virtuosity. you do ballet all morning, contemporary all afternoon and days lasted from 9am to 5pm. i found the classes to be focused and intense but extremely fun and I'd 100% say it is worth it and a very good summer school to experience, but the class difficulty definitely depended on the teacher, especially in pointe. i hope this was of any use to you !

    Hiya, I am starting at Northern school on the CertHE course in a few weeks and am just doing the last of my packing to move off. They don't send out the handbook until the start of the term and the last one released is rather vague with what is needed for the course, so I was just wondering what little items people tend to forget should I bring? I have exhausted all the university advice websites and packing tips but I am struggling to find any specific to dancing in the UK. Any help would be so greatly appreciated - thank you !!

    Hello, I was recently offered a place on the certHE contemporary dance course at northern, but the closing date to accept this place is 30th march and they require an administration fee of £50 (I qualified for the audition waiver). however I also received an invite to Rambert's second round of auditions on the 4th April. if I don't get into Rambert, I would like to go to northern, however I don't want to accept the place at northern, pay the money and then pull out because I cannot see them giving the fee back. does anyone know what I could do in this situation, could I call northern and ask about it or is that not something schools consider. any help is extremely appreciated! thank you

    thank you for your reply anna, it does look an incredible school ! i was just put off by how none of the short courses were open to anyone over the age of 16, which confused me as the offer a degree course. its ok though, im extremely happy with the three schools i have chosen and with how expensive the audition process is, i think my mum is happy im not dragging her down to london again !

    Thank you for replying mummy twinkle toes, I live in wales so that wouldn't be a possible option for me, which is a shame because I really liked the sound of the programme. I did also consider RCS, but I didn't particularly want to go to Scotland, I preferred London and Leeds as I had family there (not family I could live with, but it gives my mum piece of mind!) Thank you kanangra, may I ask is it offered at an extra cost and if so how much? also to what level the ballet is - is it more to aid contemporary as opposed to it being practiced as its own element? Thank you so much for your help by replying!

    Thank you for that, it is very interesting. I considered those two schools but I didn't think central was for me and couldn't afford the fees for LSC, so I went with NSCD, Trinity and Rambert as my top choices. While i was at the Trinity audition I did notice posters for pointe classes at an extra cost, I was just curious to see if they were just an add on to any pointe classes as part of the ballet side of the course, or if they would be the only access to pointe. There was no individual interview for NSCD so I didn't get the opportunity to ask, but in Trinity when I asked, the person I was talking to said he didn't know, which is why I have asked here! Thank you for your response once again.

    hi ! I've never posted here so let me know if I've done anything wrong !! I'm just curious to know about the level of ballet training, especially pointe in contemporary schools in the uk, in particular trinity laban and nscd. rambert is my dream school due to the balance between ballet and contemporary, but I don't want to set my heart on it as it is very hard to get into, but i also don't want my ballet to suffer if i go to one of the others. any help would be hugely appreciated!!
