Mamaderuby Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi. Does anybody have experience of the RCS Modern Ballet Summer School? Or where to stay ( for two 16 year old girls travelling by themselves) . All input appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLou Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Dd did this course summer 2018, when she was 16, and thought it was excellent. She stayed in the Liberty Living student accommodation that the full time students live in, as did most of the others on the course I think.

Mamaderuby Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thankyou. Can you tell me what the students do for meals? Are there any decent restaurants or bars close by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulou Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 My dd hasn’t done summer school but did audition for full time, and we looked around liberty living, every few rooms share a kitchen and also it is right in the centre of Glasgow so plenty of places to eat.

BlueLou Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Dd did 2 weeks, so did a bit of cooking in the shared kitchen and ate out a bit. They seem to cluster all of the dancers together at Liberty - the girls she shared a kitchen with were all doing the same summer course. There are loads of cheap places to eat nearby. When dd went there were a few of the full time students also doing the summer school and they were very friendly and took the visitors out to their favourite places a few times.

Mamaderuby Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hopefully the other girls will inspire my daughter to cook a bit or she will be limited to toast, salad and mug cakes! Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. As a cook I am very boring as I am not interested and basically just have no imagination. Don't laugh but I have recently discovered the joys of tins of chopped tomatoes (or preferably the little boxes you can get them in now). Quick sauce for pasta - just add maybe some peppers or onions, "easy garlic", oregano, basil, pepper and (if you like a little heat) crushed chillis. The sauce can be done while the pasta cooks. Quick Moroccan-inspired stew - "easy garlic", harissa, paprika, moroccan seasoning, chilli flakes if you want, onions or peppers or both, chopped tomatoes, chickpeas. This takes 10 minutes tops. Substitute garam masala, chillis, coriander and lentils for chickpeas for a quick daal. The joys of chopped tomatoes and the other items is that they are all store-cupboard ingredients. Seriously though, could you coach your daughter through some quick simple meals just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamaderuby Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yes. I will have to! Her older sister (22) is a fantastic cook, but Ruby, at nearly 16, is part of the "just eat" generation with her own account (linked to my credit card). I will teach her a few simple recipes, maybe she will discover a love of cooking to match her love of eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressedbeyondbelief Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 A lot of the students now stay at BASE prestige Student Living, it is closer to the studios. It may well be that there is an option for ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
