Associate Schemes in Scotland

[Badballetmum]

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any associate schemes in Edinburgh/Glasgow, other than Scottish Ballet and Ballet West for a 10 year old (going into P6 after summer). thanks

Yes BBO Scholars Scotland is in Edinburgh. Required standard is Grade 2 Juniors, Grade 4 Mids. You do need to be with a BBO registered teacher to apply.

Thanks , never heard of BBO but just had a look and it looks fab. Unfortunately, current teacher not registered.

_{Not an Associate Scheme, but Penny Withers frequently runs non syllabus courses at Easter and October holidays.  She has also, in the last few years run courses across a four week block on Sundays.  If you search for Penny Withers Intensive Classes on Facebook you'll find her contact details there.  She will also be running a Summer Course, which I believe still has some places.  Not sure if the level would be right for your daughter - but certainly worth contacting Penny.  This is the 3rd year of the Summer Course (if I remember correctly) and I know all the attendees have loved them in the past - very hard work but so rewarding for them.  My daughter attends everything that Penny runs as she loves her.  Good luck finding something suitable.  Let us know how you get on.  Feel free to PM me if you want more details.}

Not really associates but RCS have RAD classes (all the grades) in their lovely studios....I'm sure they do various courses & things too.
