Whiteduvet Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Does anyone know anything about the destinations of dancers at Tring at 16? Do most go onto their own dance course? Is it possible to move from there to eg the RBS Upper School? Am liking the look of Tring: just don't know much about the standard of its dance training. Thanks.

Whiteduvet Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Bump (if I'm allowed!). Anyone know this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I believe Ruth Brill trained at Tring lower school and then ENBS. Joseph Sissens trained at Tring and then RBS. Just two I’m aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 They have definitely had dancers move to RBS US in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverdancedjustamum Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I have heard of at least two who joined RBS Upper from Tring in recent years, and at least two who joined WL from Tring, so it does happen. In relation to the standard of training, you will find it very fascinating that the feedback you'll get would depend on who you ask 🙂 As with most other things, it can be very subjective. I would suggest speaking to parents of current or past students who have first hand information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s unfair to say that perhaps some had also had quite a lot of additional input in the way of associates and regular private lessons as well as lessons at Tring. Could be more about hours of ballet rather than the standard of the lessons being inferior though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peony Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 No I’m not saying they are inferior at all. Just pointing out that some of the students being accepted by RBS from there have had significant amounts of additional input including RBS associates. So it’s not totally straightforward. It may be the case that pupils of other vocational schools also take additional lessons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely the case that pupils at other schools also attend other associates and take private lessons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without permission which, in my DD’s experience, was not granted. I think a number of students may attend other programmes without proper permission from their school! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the schools know that it happens and ask people to ask permission, but clearly know not everyone does. I didn’t ask permission for my DS to attend anything, and the need hasn’t arisen with my DD yet (thanks once more to stupid covid!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we were required to provide a letter of permission from her current vocational school to RBS which wasn’t forthcoming. But then with the state of current COVID infections I am quite relieved we gave back the place so she’s not travelling!! But agree some definitely attend without asking for permissions.
