BellaF Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Think I remember reading about this school on here last year, Peter Schaufuss definitely rings a bell... Could easily be wrong though!  Be interesting to see how it develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The school was announced 2 years ago. Â I don't know if it is fully up and running now but IIRC I have read about holiday schools there. Â Here's the earlier thread: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeafterballet Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 They seem to be still auditioning x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_DanceMum Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 They have the full time school but they also have what they call the pre-full time school for younger secondary age students. Theses classes run a couple of times a week. Would suggest getting in touch with them if interested as they were running auditions every few months earlier this year and then lockdown happened so there may be spaces available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_DanceMum Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Yes, more like the CAT schemes. Options limited in Scotland if you want to stay at home, so hopefully it takes off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballet-taxi Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 My daughter has attended the pre- full time school for 1 year. It’s excellent and high standard of teaching 7.5 hours a week of classes. There are options to doing daily classes each evening or a fuller Sunday with 1 or 2 classes a week. They can audition for the full time school at 16+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drballet Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi - just trying to get more information on Edinburgh Festival Ballet. @Ballet-taxi do you have any more information on the full-time school year. I am hearing they have an arrangement with another school? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet-taxi Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 You would need to contact them directly re the full time school. They start back next week.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
