Lemongirl Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I know it's a bit last minute but does anyone know of any Easter dance courses this year? Dd is intermediate level ballet and also does tap, modern and jazz. We're in London but she would be happy to do a residential one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Tring have one which is residential . There's one in London called Dance Forward where you can book on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) http://www.surreyballetmasters.co.uk/ballet-boost/ There's also this one - a couple of my pupils are going. It is being held at Pineapple studios, I don't think you can see the venue until you download the application form. Edited to add venue.

anondancer_15 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hot House Dance in Hitchin is running a one day course focussing on 'The Solo' if this is of any interest to anyone, search for it on Facebook or I'm sure it's on the website 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summersong76 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 My dd went to the October Dance Forward event which was really good. She is booked for the Easter one. It has the extra bonus of working alongside some of the stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've contacted Tring, it's full but have added dd's name to the waiting list. Will be more organised next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Actually I've just remembered that dd did an Easter course last year with the London Ballet Company. I'll check to see if they're doing one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemongirl Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Dd is worried about doing the Central one now as we think the other attendees might all be associates or full time students and she isn't. Not sure what to do, I'm sure she will benefit from the high standard of teaching but I don't want her to be out of her depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwel Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Dd is worried about doing the Central one now as we think the other attendees might all be associates or full time students and she isn't. Not sure what to do, I'm sure she will benefit from the high standard of teaching but I don't want her to be out of her depth. I really wouldn't worry. The school will put each child in an appropriate standard class. There will be plenty who aren't at full time school or associates. It's natural to have worries as we want these things to be a positive experience. If your daughter is planning on auditioning for full time schools at 16, it's also a very good way of her guaging her standard against others, so she knows what she has to do to stand a chance against the competition.

Not sure what to do, I'm sure she will benefit from the high standard of teaching but I don't want her to be out of her depth. My dd did Central course a number of years ago. There was a mix of dancers from across the board, non vocational, associates and vocational. Edited March 20, 2016 by Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointe-less Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Does anyone know if MIDAS are running anything over the Easter holidays? I did have a quick look on their site but it had nothing listed under their courses section but wasn't sure if the website is just not kept up to date or whether they actually have nothing coming up? Anyway I'm sure I remember one of their teachers being a member on here so thought I'd ask. As a side note, it would be nice to have the option of a day long course instead of always being 3,4 or 5 days as not everyone can afford residential courses on every holiday!! So a day long course or workshop would be a great cheaper alternative for those on a budget but wanting to break up the holidays!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Central are also running some day courses at Easter and at half term in June. They are listed on their spring/summer intensive page on the website. Also Dance Forward are doing four days at the RAD centre, you can choose to do one-four days.

Primaballerina1 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Anyone know how much the day of dance at central is for 11-13 year olds?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 £40 Primaballerina - you pay via the website's 'online payment'. http://www.centralschoolofballet.co.uk/ssccourseoutline.php Normally for a dance day at Central, there is an additional £5 payable on the day if a parent wishes to watch. That is detailed on their dance days tab, although this set of dance days appear in a different section of the website so it will probably be different. The normal dance days are only aged 12+ and worth keeping an eye out for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do, I'm sure she will benefit from the high standard of teaching but I don't want her to be out of her depth. My dd did Central two years ago, when she was 13, not an associate or a full time student. She had a fantastic time, there was a real mix of students and she didn't feel at all out of her depth- just challenged in a really positive way. Anyone know how much the day of dance at central is for 11-13 year olds??My dd went to this a few years ago, probably when she was about 12. From what I remember they did ballet, pointe, contemporary and musicality. I think a lot of the dancers there were approaching audition age. However, all age and level of the experience was valued and taken into account. I took the opportunity to watch, some of the girls were so talented, it was a joy to watch.

SwaybackSapphire Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Malvern ballet seminars have a few places left on their Easter course due to injury, their website has more info: www.malvernballetseminars.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Is Malvern residential? The Dance Forward one looks good but we are away over the Easter weekend. Ideally we're looking for the week of 4th April. Dd's teacher has said no to the Central one so we'll have to look for something else. I am waiting to hear back from the London Ballet Company about theirs but there is no phone number and they haven't responded to my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
