I am not sure how things work at Central...but I know how it works in other professional ballet schools... decisions are not made on the day of evaluations or auditions....usually artistic staff talks with students/parents way before during the year if is any concern .....so every student know if will progress to next year or will repeat, way in advance .....passing to next level is how students progress through the year..not how they did on that day....
Why do you think Central is more contemprary....2 years in a row....they are only school in Uk, who sent student at the Prix de Lausanne....and they did very well....all way to the final....the ballet trainin is very strong at Central....
Standard is very high in every school in UK...so many school has more and more international students...look Central has 2 finalist at the Prix de Lausanne, last year and this year....
Most of international student at RBS and ENBS..are well trained before arriving in UK......They are coming here just to use schools name to get a job.....
Is good if you can be able to attend open days to all this schools......and you might get some answers....
you can apply for student loan..if the school is University Degree ...........Hope it helps
