PrincessDreams09 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Oh brilliant, this is fantastic news! My DC attended one week last Summer as well as attending another more well known summer school course. I can honestly say the change in performance and confidence in one week was unbelievable. Worked hard and shown exactly what DC was capable of. Each and every child got a chance to shine at the end of week performance. Had great fun in the evenings too. Asked/Pleaded to go to 2 weeks at Malvern Ballet Seminar next summer instead of anywhere else. Made some great friends. Highly recommend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I know this is a bit of an old thread but looking at the Easter course with boarding for my 9 year old. She’s not been away from home on her own for more than a night before, do many children of her age board? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into this last year for my daughter who would have been 9 but it was cancelled due to covid. It did look really lovely...and they were really nice when I contacted them via email and it did seem like a very nurturing environment x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thanks for your reply @Raquelle- I also emailed Malvern and have already received a lovely reassuring response. I’ve signed her up! Anyone else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now she wants to do both (there is one day off between the two) but not sure if that would be too tiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canary Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 @Spamcat i would let her do as many summer schools as you can afford. They make friends for life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make friends for life Thanks @Canary. Do you find they come home exhausted or do you think it would be doable to do 2 courses with only one day off inbetween? This is Easter but we have the same problem in summer because she's doing English youth ballet and malvern starts the day after it finishes! She's so keen but I don't want to overdo it.

RachH Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 @Spamcat - which EYB is your daughter doing? Mine is doing Swan Lake in Bromley in July (rescheduled from last summer) and also wants to audition for Nutcracker in Crawley in November! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is doing Cinderella in Hollywood in Cardiff in August, just auditioned and got accepted this month. Never done it before so very exciting! She would love to do Nutcracker too but Crawley is too far for us realistically. Although tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachH Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi @Emmajayne - Olivia emailed this evening and said that they would try to let us know on Monday. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi, has anyone heard anything yet? I emailed an application form on Saturday but Olivia said to hang fire until after they had decided if it will run. Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I had an email last night to say that they were still liaising with Uppingham School as to whether it could run or not and they’d let us know ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm probably not on the mailing list as she is not officially booked in yet. Would you mind letting me know if you hear either way? Thanks so much and fingers crossed! 🤞 😊 xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewel Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I doubt that it will be allowed to run as between 29th March and 12th April indoor provision is only allowed if it is reasonably necessary for a child to attend to allow their parent to work/attend medical appointments etc. Children should be encouraged to attend setting close to where they live or go to school.

Spamcat Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Fingers crossed. Tring have cancelled their Easter course and seemed to think residential is not allowed. Does anyone know of any Easter courses definitely going ahead as residential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I think the RBS Easter residential is going ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I really hate to have to say this but, whilst Vocational Dance schools might be opening tomorrow, there’s no sign of recreational dance schools opening yet, so how can Easter courses go ahead! Just saying 🥺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying 🥺 I did think it would be impossible and was very surprised to hear RBS is running. But if RBS are allowed to do it then they all should be able to. Maybe it is classed as education? 🤷♀️ Tring said residential was against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
