Fatbob Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 My daughter has been accepted for scottish ballet associate and ballet west. They are to held on Sunday's. The dates are released for ballet west but not scottish ballet. Does anyone know if they try to avoid clashing as she would like to attend both.

ballettaxi Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi Fatbob Congratulations to your daughter, what a great achievement. Which Scottish Ballet Associates scheme is she joining - Junior, Mid or Senior? I've attached a link to their website where you can find out the days & timings of the classes for each level. https://www.scottishballet.co.uk/join-in/training/associate-programme If I remember correctly Juniors is on a Tuesday (P6) and then Thursday (P7), with both Mids & Seniors being on Saturdays each week - but check out the website. So if you're saying she has BW on a Sunday, this will be the Glasgow Associates, then you'll be fine for whichever level she's going into at SB. She'll have a great time.

OllyO07 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi, I have the same question as you, my daughter has been accepted for both Scottish Ballet Junior associates (Sunday class) and Ballet West Edinburgh Senior associates (which we're over the moon about!) I'm presuming the Sundays don't clash?Timetable for Ballet West is available but not Scottish Ballet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatbob Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi olly007 like you we are very proud. I assume your daughter wants to attend both classes. I suppose we will just have to wait for the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbob Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Great name ballettaxi She goes on Sunday as we don't live in glasgow. Ballet west had listed all the dates but scottish ballet say they will issue their sunday dates in the summer. I was wondering in past years if they avoided clashing.

ballettaxi Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Haha thanks Fat bob, the name just felt very apt, as most of the parents on here will agree I'm sure - although your name is pretty good :-) Fingers crossed there are no clashes. From our experience your DD will love her time on both Associate programmes. My DD made a friend at her first SB JA audition and they are still great friends now - 8 years later! Similarly with BW she's made so many new friends and one of the girls from her BW Senior class is also going to Taynuilt to start the degree course - so it's perfect as they both have a familiar friendly face when they make this big change. IMHO Associate programmes not only help their ballet, but broaden and widen their circle of friends and acquaintances as they meet children from very different backgrounds - so it let's them see a taster of the big world that's out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishballetmum Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Last year Scottish Ballet and Ballet West Sundays clashed a few times, so those in both had to make a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbob Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Scottishballetmum Many thanks I was dreading that but thought it was possible. Will just have to wait and see once Scottish Ballet publish the dates, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badballetmum Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hi, I know of a few kids that do both so must be possible. Slightly off topic, but just wondering if anyone knows of and P7 girls who got into the monthly class? My daughter is going into P7 and didn't get in and neither did any P7's we know who auditioned. Just wondering if they actually took any new P7's this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatbob Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I dont know much about it but we were told that its more a 2 years course P6 & P7 and there is not many P7 admitted. Her dance teacher said to apply for Ballet West as she thought she have more of a chance of getting accepted. (Glasgow) As it turned out she got acccepted for both which we are verty grateful. It will be nice to start meeting a few other parents and some new friends for her as we are not usually in that circle. lol Although im a dancing dad I do love it as I did bit of ballroom and latin when i was younger, a lot younger, so i love watching it and watching her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishballetmum Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Last year only 1 or 2 spaces available for Sunday p7's, not sure how many weekly places. So very difficult to get a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyO07 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hi, It seems most of the dates for 2017\2018 do indeed clash for Ballet West and Scottish Ballet, so such a shame after my dayght was so excited getting into both. You would think this would be avoided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbob Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Do you have the dates for Scottish Ballet junior Associates Sunday class. And is it Ballet West Glasgow or Edinburgh that your daughter has been accepted for? We havent had the dates for Scottish Ballet yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyO07 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hi, yes, I received an email yesterday with the class dates for the Scottish ballet Junior associates Sunday class and my daughter was also selected for the ballet West Edinburgh associates Sunday class. Did you receive it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbob Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 No we haven't received any dates. Hopefully we will hear something today our dayghter is selected for ballet west glasgow. How do you choose as if you've never been before you don't whats best for your child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northballetmum Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Hi! My Dd did ballet west last year and was offered a place at Scottish ballet too this year (p7) there were quite a few girls who did both last year and I spoke to ballet west who are happy for Dd to do both - she will miss a few ballet west sessions as there are some clashes but they seem happy enough for that to happen. Dd loves ballet west. Edited July 19, 2017 by Northballetmum Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northballetmum Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I should have said she is Glasgow ballet west and Sunday monthly p7 Scottish ballet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbob Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Brilliant my daughter is doing both as well (p7 Scottish Ballet) and Ballet West Glasgow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyO07 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The majority of classes this year clash unfortunately so just not viable (for Edinburgh) anyway, especially at £50 a class! Good luck to all those taking part in either or both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmum76 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi, just wondering what the other parents of ballet dancers who go to both the scottish ballet junior associates and the ballet west Glasgow associates are thinking about the performance practising for the BW show? They all clash with SB sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbob Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I believe there are 4 girls in the situation. Can we all catch up at the Ballet Day on 26th November. My wife is in contact with another of the girls mothers and they are going to try and get all the mothers together to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
