My family hopes that I can take care of my academics along with my ballet training. I found some ballet schools that have partnered with universities so that they can offer higher education programmes to their students while also providing ballet training at the same time. I know a few schools that offer this kind of program, such as Central School of Ballet, Elmhurst Ballet School, English National Ballet School, New Zealand School of Dance, and Dutch National Ballet Academy. If anyone knows of any ballet schools that offer higher education programmes, please let me know. I always want to know more. I would really appreciate your help.

£50-£60 per hour is a normal and reasonable price to me. I mentioned this because I've seen prices that are very expensive like £70 for 30 min only.

I'm currently looking for online (private/group) ballet coaching for additional training. I already knew about a few well-known platforms and teachers that offered online coaching. They are really good teachers, but the prices are really expensive and I can't really afford it for the long term. If anyone knows any platforms, teachers, or professionals that offer online coaching, please let me know. It would be better if it was at a reasonable price. I would really appreciate your help😊

Thank you for letting me know!

@Jewel I'm 15 this year. I'm not sure if I can arrange it... but I would try to make this happen.

I'm currently training at the intermediate level, and I'm going to take an exam this year. I haven't gotten my intermediate foundation results yet (I hope I can get my marks as soon as possible). My results from pre-primary to grade 5 are distinctions, but I know these marks don't define a lot. My studio only offers training 3 days a week (I can't blame them for not offering more days to train as they need to teach so many students). I know it's very little, so I practice a lot outside the studio (of course I find someone to guide me and make sure the way I practise is correct and effective). I'm planning to move to a new school/studio that offer more professional training in the future.

Well I haven't tell my teacher yet😅 because my teacher didn't had a full time training and company background(she is a RAD registered teacher) and I think maybe I can't get the information that I want from her. So I decided to discuss it with my family first.

Thank you for your reply! Your words definitely comforts me☺

Do you know Hannah Martin? (You can know her by checking her youtube channel) I know she started full time training when she was 18 at Elmhurst ( she joined the graduate year) and now she is an apprentice at Birmingham Royal Ballet.

I see. What do you think if I have reached my advanced level of ability and I want to train in overseas ballet school to"polish"my technique at 18? Is it still too late or is it possible to pursue classical ballet career?

Thanks!

My goal is to become a professional ballet dancer. I think joining a full-time training programme is necessary to become a pro. However, I live in Malaysia, and there's no full-time ballet school here. If I want to have full-time training, I have to apply to a ballet school overseas. It's definitely better to go overseas when you are an adult (18 years old) instead of a minor (as a foreigner, I think being an adult living abroad would be much more convenient than being a minor) (especially since some countries require a guardian to stay with you when you're under 18). I saw so many people saying that it's too late to join full-time training at 18. But I still found some schools that accept international students at age 18 and above, such as the National Theatre Ballet School in Melbourne. I found a girl enrolled in this school when she was 17, and she told me it's fine to enrol when you're 18. What do you think of that? I would really love to hear your opinions and thoughts. Do you guys know of any other ballet schools that accept students at age 18 and above? Thank you for your help🙏🏻
