InvitationtoDance Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This summer (30 July - 3 August) Invitation to Dance Summer school will run at the ISTD2 studios in Old Street. The focus will be classical ballet with additional classes in repertoire (solo and group), contemporary and creative workshops - taught by working professionals Bethany Elliott (ex-Matthew Bourne), Christopher Hinton-Lewis (Northern Ballet, ex-Royal New Zealand Ballet), Diarmaid O'Meara (National Ballet of Ireland). The focus of the week long intensive course will be dancing and will culminate in an informal performance for freinds and family. For more information, ask us questions here, or check out www.invitationtodance.org.uk in the next few days (it is currently under construction). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballemum Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Are they strict on age as my dd will be thirteen a month after that date and is in intermediate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvitationtoDance Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think such a small age discrepancy would be overlooked. You can get an application form by emailing invitationtodancelondon@gmail.com or pm me on here with your details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What ages and levels of ability is the course aimed at? I can't seem to find this information on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvitationtoDance Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 On the website it does say that it is aimed at dancers 13-18. We decided against having rigid minimum entry requirements as the classes will be streamed and we both know talented young dancers who work outside of recognised syllabus. Applications are encouraged from dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels and classes will be tailored so all dancers can be pushed at a rate appropriate to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thank you for this information, InvitationtoDance. My DD is too young for this year's course but I'll bear it in mind for future years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitschqueen_1 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi, can you tell me do your dates clash with the Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvitationtoDance Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi! Yes, it's the first week of the Olympics - what can I say, we (and the dancers and parents who've applied) have faith in TFL. The two closest stations, Old Street and Shoreditch High St haven't been earmarked as busy stations so we reckon all will be well. Plus for those with little interest in sport it will be some welcome escapism :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
