Can anyone help or have any ideas,we are in the north, but will be willing to travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Perhaps the teacher could approach local secondary schools which offer GCSE dance, or maybe contact the examining body to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovetoDance2003 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Oh please can she come and work at Holmes Chapel comprehensive school in Cheshire. My dd will be going into year 9 and will be choosing GCSE dance as an alternative to core/GCSE PE. My concerns are it is taught by PE teachers and not teachers who are specifically trained in dance!

Hi taxi4ballet We have tried the local comprehensive schools but have been met with hostility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovetoDance2003 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 ???????? Stardancer! Counted on Cheshire being in the north. Obviously not north enough! All the best with the mission. Hope you and your dd teacher manage to find somewhere. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisiblecircus Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Contact the examining body. They should have details of all the centres willing to take external candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
