toursenlair Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 For the first time ever, there are more boys (16) than girls (11). Does anyone know if this is true of other vocational ballet schools?

capybara Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 From the start of year photos, the Royal Ballet School has equal numbers in their third year: 12 of each. However, also from the photo, it appears possible that there were girls who were assessed out during, or at the end of, their second year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article is about *this year`s* graduating class, so there won`t be any attrition between now and next June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
