MrsMoo2 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi gang, Just wondered if I could pick your brains about SS. DS has read about them and is keen but I don’t want him to be out of his depth! Can anyone advise of any that would accommodate him? He’s 10, and has stayed away from home before but not for more than 4 nights. Been dancing for 2 years, top of grade 2 now but was unsuccessful at vocational school audition for year 7. Would love for him to have a really good, positive experience. Cost not that important as long as he has a good time and location as near to the M6 corridor as poss. Thank you...👍👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBELLES Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi MrsMoo Take a look at Moorlands in Clitheroe, great teaching, beautiful setting and most important to dd was good food. The teachers have young children of their own and were very supportive of my dd when she lost all her confidence . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutugirl Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) My summer school caters for all levels . Last year we had students from Royal , Elmhurst , Tring and Hammond - right down to once a week children . We offer home stay with a family who are licensed a full Matron chaperones . We carefully match them with a child of the same age . This year its two weeks and Swan Lake in the theatre at the end , a wonderful faculty too . Please read testimonials from people on this forum such as Billy Elliot , oldermum , Harwel , Yorkshire Pud . Apparently we are up there with the big ones ! small classes reasonable prices lots of performance opportunities much fun !! see West Yorkshire summer school thread for details Edited March 30, 2018 by tutugirl Missed out somethjng 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLou Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 My dd attended the York Scholars summer school 2 and 3 years ago and loved it. The atmosphere was very friendly and I got the impression that everyone was welcome. Which is why I have booked my 11 year old ds onto the course this summer. He has only been dancing for 18 months and is also grade 2, but I think he will enjoy it! https://www.yorkshireballetscholarshipcentre.com/summer-school/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year she did OPES which she also loved, but said York Scholars had more planned activities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harwel Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thoroughly recommend tutugirls summer school. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and good teaching. DS has been 3 times and it is always his favourite SS - he’s very sad not to be attending this year due to rehab from an operation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMoo2 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks for all the tips guys. All a bit of a mystery to me atm! I’d like him to go for two weeks but think realistically a weeks probably a better idea as he’s not been away for more than 2 nights before! His own school usually do a week but you never get to see what they’ve been doing! 😂 One last question, he’s 10 and 11 in August, so which group would he fit in? xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixiewoo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I would think at York Scholars he would be in the junior group, but they work them hard! This year summer school is only 4 days, with a 'show' on the last afternoon. If we were here, DD would be going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Moriarty Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Dear Mrs Moo2 Please look at our Summer Schools and intensives for next year, 2019. We are fully sold out this year, but we have a minimum age of 11 years old, but next year 2019 your DS should be 11 I think and would be welcome to join us. Courses are run from our family home and we have 12 guests maximum we run a hand full of 3 day intensives a year and our International Summer Schools - Principals Weeks. Please check out our Facebook and Instagram pages and our website www.woodsidedanceretreat.com. Good luck and enjoy the summer.
