Noobag06 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hello everyone I've left it rather late to apply for Summer Schools this year, (RBS, Yorkshire) but I wondered if anyone had any recommendations that aren't full up? We are in the South East, and my daughter is 10. Any information would be gratefully received. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Are you looking for residential or not or either? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLou Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 My dd really enjoyed Yorkshire Ballet Scholarship Centre (not the same as YBSS!) last year, and is going again this year. Near York, with a residential option. No audition. Mix of vocational and non. Lovely school and grounds, lots of evening activities. Don’t know if it’s full yet, but worth a try. http://www.yorkshireballetscholarshipcentre.com/4.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobag06 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Residential would be preferable, as we are 2 hours from London by train. Thank you for the suggestion. I will have a look at "holiday courses", Anna C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobag06 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Doesn't HAVE to be residential, just would prefer it, as the nearest is likely to be at least London so I need to factor in travel costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The RAD have lots of activities and there are often residential options if you want. Might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobag06 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thank you Lilac. I did have a look at RAD, but was told by a lady whose daughters have done the residential ones, that they use teenagers as chaperones and the younger ones don't get any sleep! Not sure how true this is, but she said she wouldn't let her two be residential again because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Not sure children do get a lot of sleep on most residential Summer schools 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Young Dancers Academy is a good option if you can find cheap accommodation in West London. The Summer school itself isn't overly expensive and you would get to collect DD at the end of the day and ensure she is rested (although we always tended to rush into Covent Garden and come back exhausted but you don't have to leave the area with Westfield right near.

Anon2 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ballet Boost, not residential but starting at 11am to allow travel time or plenty of hotel options within walking distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
