Maximum Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi there New to forum so apologies in advance if this isn’t the correct use of the message boards! Recently got devastating news for my daughter as she didn’t get a place in Scottish Ballet seniors (2) after 5 years in the programme. Hadn’t been given any indication up until then that there was a problem and she’s been accepted into RCS. Wondering if anyone knows of associate programmes/advanced level classes based in Scotland that still have availability spaces for next year? There’s more than just her in this situation and as parents we are keen to keep their tuition at the right level to make their dreams of full time tuition next year come true - leaving school at 16 to enter full time. Any info gratefully received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Foo Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Have you been in contact with Penny Withers? She used to be involved with Scottish Ballet Associates and now runs the Gyrotonic studio in Glasgow. It’s definitely not an Associate programme but she teaches ballet intensives at Easter/ Summer and may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahw Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi Maximum, Sorry this has come without warning, how horrible. What do you mean by accepted into RCS? I thought was Royal Conservatoire Scotland and full time training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 RCS (in common with many conservatoires) have a Junior Conservatoire programme that includes ballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danceforjoy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 She must be so disappointed, does her dance school have any ideas for extra classes? Associate classes I know of in Scotland are: Ballet West (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee) SMB Company (new this year, by Sara-Maria Barton), BBO Scholars, Morea Performing Arts, RBS (Dundee). I think a lot of the audition dates have passed unfortunately. There may be others though - these are just the ones our dance school has mentioned this year.

Canary Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Not sure how old your daughter is but have you researched Dance School of Scotland for full time education and training now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
