Surrey ballet masters

[Primaballerina1]

I've just come across this site and had some questions to ask about it as so far it seems perfect for DD! What age is juniors from? For the juniors, is the ballet class Pilates and rep all in 1 hour? Do you have to audition for the summer school or be part of the associates? Is the training good and worth the money as it seems quite cheap? When is the audition if there is one?How much does it cost a year? Can you chose to do one lesson and not the other? Any other info would be fab! Thanks

If you get any answers from the company for the general questions I am sure our other members will be interested in the responses because they do seem interesting.

Hi Primaballerina1

 

These classes are run by Emma Northmore, who is ex ENB soloist. She teaches my DD at YDA and she also covers for MAs at the Royal. She is a fantastic teacher, my DD loves her and has come on so much under her tutition! I can't recommend her highly enough.

PS DD did the summer school and had a FABULOUS week.

Emma Northmore is fabulous, the kids love her. She also teaches the open classes at Pineapple and Danceworks.

If you have any questions just email her.

I cannot recommend her highly enough.

[Primaballerina1]

Thanks for the comments does anyone know which day the classes are held?

[Jan McNulty]

I am sure the school will be able to answer that question if no other members can.

[Primaballerina1]

Oh don't worry I just looked at the dates and worked out they are all on a Saturday

[double trouble]

My dd has also done few classes with Emma and really enjoyed it x

Just resurecting this thread as Emma Northmore is running an Easter course 6th-8th April at Pineapple. It's called Ballet Boost and there is a link to it on the Surrey Ballet Masters website and there is also a Face Book page called Ballet Boost.

My DD will be attending this course, it has a fabulous faculty including Roberta Marquez and Emma will be teaching herself. It's very reasonable price wise I think for the three days and you can get an early bird discount if you book before 4th Jan.

I don't have any personal link to Emma but my DD thinks she's an amazing teacher!

[amos73]

Yes, Loulabelle

 

My DD is also attending the Ballet Boost course at Pineapple. It looks fantastic and Emma is such a wonderful teacher. My DD loves her.

[Primaballerina1]

Anyone know if you have to be en pointe for the Easter course??

[amos73]

My dd has just begun pointe this term. I would contact Emma through the website and ask.

[Primaballerina1]

Has anyone heard the 2016 dates for the summer course as they don't seem to be up on the website yet? Or am I just being to eager and checking way too early?!

[Francesizzi]

believe it is week of the 25th july and it is going to be at Pineapple Studios this time.

My daughter really enjoyed last year.

[Primaballerina1]

Thank you francesizzi did your DD find it challenging?

[Primaballerina1]

Does anyone know if the standard is particularly high at SBM summer school as DD doesn't want to feel out of her depth there (she is 12 and a grade 5 in ballet)

[Francesizzi]

Emma does manage to make it the right level for all. I would give her a call or email and ask her to call you. she is helpful and all the kids she teaches

seem to love her as she makes it fun.

[Emma northmore]

Hi lovely Ballet mums........the summer school is definitely week of 25th july and bookings can now be made. Ballet Boost is a particularly great opportunity as as far as I am aware Will Tuckett has not been teaching like this before and he is a person with a wealth of knowledge to impart to the dancers. Plus he is fabulous fun and inspiring!! The classes are being kept to 20 or so students too so they feel they have been taught properly, so its all quite exciting. Early bird finishes 4th january! at midnight!!

[Jan McNulty]

Brilliant thank you Emma!

[double trouble]

My DD is having good time at Ballet Boost came home very tired yesterday but loving it x

[amos73]

Yep mine too! She was shattered last night ????????

[double trouble]

My DD can't wait for tomorrow ! Amos is your DD in older group mine is ? It's so good that classes are small x

[amos73]

No double trouble she is just turned 11 so is in the other group. She said last night she wishes it was carrying on all next week. She is LOVING it.

[Francesizzi]

Yes my daughter enjoyed it too. Great few days, excellent teachers and plenty of helpers with advice and time to talk.

there was a flyer on the desk advertising her summer course, with another great selection of guest teachers.

rushed out without picking it up, did anyone else get the dates??

 

[amos73]

Francessizzi it is the 25-29 July - I've booked dd on already. The dancing at the end we got to watch was fantastic. My daughter was on such a high she came home and continued working on the don Quixote variation till collapsing at 10 on the sofa exhausted - just wouldn't stop! So inspiring for her to have the opportunity to learn from so many great dancers and teachers this week.

[double trouble]

I couldn't get to watch as working !! But my DD enjoyed everything about it and felt she improved ! She loved all the teachers and was definetly a positive 3 days . Would of booked for summer as well but it's almost same dates as Russian Masters summer sch and have paid already xx
