I have one in Scotland and one going to White Lodge. Dd went to Central as an associate, was going to audition this year for Central but decided to stay at Ballet West in Scotland to do her BA Hons as they do a lot more ballet and do tours from 1st year. The best thing is to have a list with two columns with goods and not so goods things about the school and area. Thats what we did and Scotland won.

My ds going as well, tell dd to look out for the ginger one!

I have lost both my children. Ds starts WL in Sept and dd left for Ballet West last Sept. i don't know what I an going to do without them. Dad was really upset and still is with dd going and today at WL hit him losing ds. Little tear in his eyes. Ds.....can't wait to go!

Bless her!

Thanks

What age is senior and how many of each group do they take in?

She'll love it. Tell her to look at Kerry's feet (teacher), gorgeous!

I am not sure angel but scholorships are available.

Yesterday the Young Dancers Academy was awarded ' Recognised Dance Education and Training Status' by the Council for Dance Education. This is wonderful news for our teachers and students who all work so hard to make YDA an outstanding place to train!

Well, I was really impressed and had a little tear or two. Walked home and was re running it through my head and before I knew it I was home. Must if been good! Might go and watch again.

Ballet West in Scotland

Debating whether to buy ds and his dad tickets to go while I am seeing dd in Scotland. Is it worth going?

Good luck and enjoy!

This ballet is from West London School of Ballet with Young Dancers Academy. Mix of adults and children. Brilliant for a childs first ballet. June 15th and 16th, sat & sun matinee's and evening performances £15/20 tickets.

Yea Alison, Thornhill Park and Ride. Get off at Gloucester Green. Train is about 10/15 min walk

Really expensive! I am from Oxford. Always used P & R.

Call Young Dancers Academy, Shepherds Bush London. Great studio, parking in Westfields next door £5 all day. outside congestion charge

It would be really expensive to park in Oxford. Multi story was £15 4/5 hours!

Yes I remember now black for RAD Advance 1 about 2 years ago. Didn't notice that material was any different though. Nice all the same.

My first ballet was through my dc ballet teacher (who taught Miyako Yoshida in Japan) told me to take my dd to watch a ballet. A couple of years later ds got into RB at age of 8 and Christopher Wheeldon picked him to be the first Hedgehog in Alice Adventures of Wonderland. Then he did Sleeping Beauty, Prince of Pagodas, Alice again and Swan Lake at ROH and Don Quixote with Milkhailsky Ballet. Watched each one more than once as we lived in Oxford then and just wondering around Covent Garden, became hooked on ballet. Sons fault!

Red Bridge Park and Ride

Does anyone know if they filmed Don Quixote as my ds was in all performances this year at the Coli?

Nice walk from train station as long as it doesn't rain. But all us mums used Park and Ride 5/10 mins tops.
