Anna C Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi star, Can't help with LJB but I'm sure someone will be along soon who has experience - in the meantime, welcome! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophika9899 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi star. My DD auditioned for LJB a couple of years ago and was accepted but didn't take up the offer for various other commitment reasons. The rather nice man who runs the place ( I forget his name) told me that they accept one in four. I've heard good things about it. Good luck.

dancing10 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My daughter goes to London Junior and Senior Ballet. I can only say good things about it, my daughter has improved so much since joining and always enjoys her time there. We have to get up at 5am to make it in time for her day of lessons so you can imagine it has to be exceptionally good to give that kind of comittment. Will answer any other questions - pm me if you would like x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Are you perhaps thinking of London Children's Ballet, Tomuchtallent? There are clips of the auditions for that on Youtube. I've no knowledge of London Junior Ballet, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Welcome Star. My DS went to London Junior & Senior Ballet for nearly 5 years and is now at Central School of Ballet. Can't remember what the auditions are actually like I'm afraid. Peter Railton is the Administrator and Nicola Bowden the Principal. There is a small committee who run the 'shop' selling uniform, shoes and LJ&SB personalised items and are always wanting willing volunteers to help. We too had a very early start but we are lucky that we have a fast train to London from where we live to cover the 100 miles plus to be up there for a 9am start, arriving into the station at 8.15am to get across London and for him to change. My DS enjoyed the non-syllabus Ballet classes, Repertoire (when in LJB), the Contemporary classes (when in LSB) and the Boys Coaching. It has definitely been worth my DS & I putting in the time and energy in going to LJ&SB for him to have got a place at Central. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
