BBA Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I was this morning recommended this as a summer course for my Dd, and wondered if anyone has any experiences to share regarding it. I'd be very interested in any info ... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie 2 Milner Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 My son did it many years ago. He loved it. Stayed with a local family and had a whale of a time and thought the standard of teaching high. Now I think it may be run by someone different now though they were involved when Martin did it. It also doubled up as away to practise french for GCSE. Is a bit of a mission to get to as, in France, one generally has to go into Paris then out but he manged fine.

BBA Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 It's in Brittany and run by Paris Opera Ballet, apparently, is that the same one you were thinking of ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie 2 Milner Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Don't think it is, or was, run by L'Opera de Paris but there were students from there and from RB. When Martin did it it was run by an elderly lady and her daughter. I believe the lady has given up but her daughter may still be doing it. When Martin did it Maina Gielgud taught and there was a concert to do with Violette Verdy.So yes definitely the same one. Or at least definitely in Pont l'Abbé Trying to rack my brain to remember the ladies name. I know he stayed with someone called Carinne who was lovely. The contemporary and jazz teaching was great too and I think the jazz was the organizers daughter. When I next speak to Martin I'll ask if he remembers anymore. He went in either 2006 0r 2007 and therefore it was to help with fench A level not GCSE. I can't remember if it was after his first year at elmhurst or the summer before.

Mark T Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The summer school used to be run by Annik Coatalen but I believe she has passed it on now.There is a link to the summer school on her dance school website.The school is called Baylins Ballet Barn. http://www.baylinsballetbarn.buildingmy.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie 2 Milner Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Nicola that's it!! I remember chatting to her when trying to sort it all out. Did Freya go? That would be a coincidence if they were both there together. Martin only went once but loved it.
