Minx’s mum Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I am looking into ballet boost for my 10 year old but I’ve heard London is better training than Devon. Does anyone know if this is the case? And has ballet boost helped your child? It’s all very new to me. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glissade Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Ballet Boost Devon is fantastic. Especially if you live in Devon. If you live closer to London, then I imagine Ballet Boost London would be your first choice ... for distance rather than quality of training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Are you interested in just "Ballet Boost" or is your query more generally about training in Devon? There are some excellent local schools/studios in DEvon, which have produced some very good dancers now in the performing arts industry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minx’s mum Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thank you so much. It’s just the ballet boost differences as I’m in between both Devon and London. Has it helped your dd/ds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glissade Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Yes, BBA Devon has helped my child enormously. I have no doubt that parents from BBA London will say the same. If your child is still only 10 years old, I would say go with the easier travel arrangements 🙂 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy twinkle toes Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I believe when it first opened in Devon there were a few teething issues but these have been sorted. Both offer good training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glissade Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The problems were related solely to the availability of studio space - it meant that there had to be some changes to venues, but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I've just done some googling, and see that BalletBoost in Devon is to be held at my home studio. It's a new & really very good facility (we just moved there in September), with some gorgeous big and safe studios, as well as a good changing room, and a café on site. It's in the city centre, with easy transport links by coach, bus and train. The Studio Director is extraordinary in terms of her knowledge of ballet: she's an ex-professional who then trained to postgraduate level in dance & dance science) and vision for safe and inclusive dance training for everyone. I know she doesn't teach in the BB Associates scheme, but that gives you an idea of the ethos and atmosphere of the studio. And she only takes on outside projects which align with the ethos and vision of her studio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
