  1. Thanks to all those who suggested summer schools and associates, I will definitely look into that. I will also look into Rambert. I currently do 3 ballet classes a week and 1 modern and 1 tap class. I also have experience in contemporary as I used to compete.
  2. I understand that, and I want to apply to all the ballet schools, but Elmhurst is the only school that my parents may stand a ( very small) chance of accepting me applying
  3. I’ve not yet been able to speak to my teachers as both myself and my two teachers are currently isolating. The reason I want to go to Elmhurst in particular is because since I began dance ( end of year 7) I’ve always wanted to work towards becoming a professional. I know you can be a day pupil at Elmhurst as their website has a fees calculator which is dependent on whether or not you board. Elmhurst is the most local to me of all the vocational ballet schools and is the only one that I wouldn’t have to board at( reducing cost), it also emphasises a levels which I know my parents find to be important so I hoped it would make them more willing to allow me to apply. The reason I don’t think I’d qualify for any funding is that while my mom has a very low income job and my dad doesn’t work, he has a good pension( but he’s not willing to use any of it as my parents want to move house in the future). I know how competitive the dance industry is, especially for someone as new to dance as I am, but I would prefer to apply and get rejected that not apply and be left wondering if.
  4. Thanks, I’ve tried to have a conversation but they keep shutting it down and just don’t see it as a realistic option and think it would be impossible for me to be offered a place. Then there’s the issue about funding because while I’ve offered to work to help pay for it, I can’t afford to pay all the fees myself. They also don’t value the a levels offered there as they want me to take computing and Russian, I’ve told them I can take a levels at any age. I’m going to keep trying to talk to them though
  5. I’m currently in year ten, I go to a very good academic school and my predicted grades are very high. My parents want me to stay at my current school for sixth form, but I want to apply for Elmhurst. I’ve only been dancing for two years, but I’ve already begun pointe and intermediate foundation. I also don’t look like the most typical dancer, so my parents are doubtful. We are also a quite low income family but my dad has a good pension so I don’t think I’d be eligible for any funding and obviously they wound pay much in terms of fees. They’ve already made it clear that I will have to get the train to school and they won’t help me with transport. Any advice ps sorry for the long post
