Is Mr Powney excusing himself as a AD when deciding on the placement of these kids in White Lodge or Upper School. I was under the assumption that RBS staff couldn’t coach individual students who then gained a place at RBS. If it was an RBS course then there wouldn’t be an issue. It seems blurred lines here - a course offered by a company so close to an RBS staff member in RBS buildings but not by RBS staff and I assume run for profit. Not for the benefit of RBS.

Christopher Powney teaches classes abroad (most recently southland ballet in California for a summer course). And whether they use the studios or not doesn't mean anything as Rambert school etc rent out their studios as well. I am not attached to DanceEnhance in any way but I think this is a fabulous opportunity. This is so much more than Christopher Powney teaching the occasional ballet lesson! Look at the credentials of Didy Veldman and Emme Northmore - lucky dancers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 To my mind it blurs the boundaries. A class taking place at The Royal Ballet School delivered by the Director of The Royal Ballet School will appear to many people to be part of that educational establishment. So it comes close to misrepresentation and is indeed distasteful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coniger Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 But it’s not associated - no where does it say it’s associated - Christopher Powney already teaches at other places and he is a patron of it taking one class - only one - for a programme that has many different days. Sorry I don’t see it your way but that is the beauty of this forum so lots of people can put their opinions forward.

Pas de Quatre Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) No they don't say it is associated, but it could easily be misinterpreted by people who aren't aware of the ramifications of the ballet world. Another query is how is this Covid-19 compliant? This is a children's boarding school, where presumably the pupils are in "bubbles". Why on earth at the present time are they going to have random people from all over the place entering the building?

coniger Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) The course is for vocational students. I know nothing about the ballet but as my dc is a vocational student I am aware how the vocational schools are run so understand “the ramifications of the ballet world” rbs is the most risk adverse place ever and The way they deal with their school and associate program illustrates this so if they are happy to have the course there they must have passed rigorous standards. Also the student will probably be on an exeat and if not I doubt they will come in contact at all as the campus is big. I understand why people might not want to go in the current climate but I don’t think there is an issue about its location or teachers. I think I will bow out now but let me say again I have no connection with DanceEnhance or white lodge! Edited October 21, 2020 by coniger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 There are many, many teachers at vocational schools who have associations with other dance institutions and teach at various places, sometimes their own students, sometimes students from other schools. It’s quite clear in the promotion materials that this is nothing to do with RBS as such. As far as the premises go, the school will have rigorous RAs in place with regard outside lettings. The resident students are on exeat on those weekends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Elmhurst rent out their facilities to help keep themselves in the black. I’m sure RBS/White Lodge are gaining financially from this arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don’t see it your way but that is the beauty of this forum so lots of people can put their opinions forward. If I sent my DC I don’t remotely see it as a way to the royal ballet school but maybe I’m in the minority! I believe that people promoting their ballet summer schools or extra programs around the ballet world all know that the attraction for students - especially the ones wanting to progress to a career in ballet - need to offer not only fabulous teachers but a showcase type aspect to influential directors and sponsors. This is especially true to RBS and other top schools. Why is it then people go to Prix or YAGP etc to name the top comps. For showcasing as well as scholarships. It is naive to believe in this ballet world that exists today that a student can get a top spot at an upper school without showcase to an AD or via an influential teacher or comp winner. Just look at the kids in the schools. Look at the offers received at Summer schools for automatic entry/ entry to finals/ international scholars etc etc. Why do you think RBS offers endless audition opportunities as part of their spring/ summer schools and why it’s a widespread thing now across the world. Not only is it a money spinner - huge boost to their coffers - but sells the hope of getting noticed and therefore entrance to the RBS programme. The other poor kids are sending in photos and videos and praying !!! The issue about conflict is so clear - when you put it in context. Is this course more attractive to students because of the showcase opportunity directly to the AD of RBS and the location than it would be if it relied on the reputations and expertise of the course teachers alone. To be blunt - ballet world is currently under the spot light. The time has come for the situation for ballet students to be considered in the same regulatory and legal environment as every other institution and ballet world has to stop believing in its own exceptionalism . This should include the way courses are advertised to students. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resident students are on exeat on those weekends. I think my point is that the instance of conflict of interest in ballet world is in the example where - for example - your child auditions for a spot at upper school. They get 1 class to show their capabilities. They could be in a class against another student who was coached by the AD privately. A student who had attended a us summer school and had a series of private lessons by the AD or a student who is connected to a teacher or panel member either via family or past teaching. Would you feel that it was a level playing field for your child. Another example is - would you be comfortable if your child was in a class and competing against another student who’s mum paid a current teacher at the school to teach at her own summer school in the holidays. That same teacher then selects students for rolls in performances et. Its this type of conflict of interest that needs to be highlighted and addressed. Its going on in major schools. Parents need to ask what is the schools conflict of interest policy. Is it available to all parents. Are the parents aware of the conflicts in their child’s class. It’s a business in which opportunity is on a selected basis and can be hidden in style or artistic choices - the perception of conflict is as important as the actual conflicts. I’m saying. - go find out what’s happening at your child’s school - find out if it’s a level playing field. You wouldn’t accept it in a normal school. Don’t accept that ballet world is different. Go ask. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 But education of any sort isn’t a level playing field. In any school there are kids being tutored, sometimes by staff who work at the school. Neither is entry to any career a level playing field. In many it’s all about who you know. All you can be concerned about is what you and your family do; leave everyone else to make their own decisions about what they’re prepared to accept, in the ballet world or any other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowblythe Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I do not have school age children, but if I were still at the stage where they were auditioning for vocational school, I suspect I might try my utmost to afford a place on this course as a way of getting my child seen - and this is why it sits uncomfortably with me, particularly where it says the AD will be watching classes. I'm sure this says more about me than the course. And presumably, seeing this is aimed specifically at Vocational Students, they will have to get their current school's permission to attend (assuming exeats line up.) Incidentally, in no state school that I have worked in have members of staff been allowed to tutor students in that school for payment. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly even the RAD prohibits a teacher assessing their own students as blatant conflict of interest. All schools in academic schools prohibit staff coaching for cash their own students. Even at ballet comps there would be outrage if a competitor was a student of the judge. The point is not you taking advantage of a bias system where others can’t. It’s the system that needs to be recognised as biased and able to be distorted- by money - needs to changed. It’s ok to practice hard and get your kid every facility you can - they can be the best possible dancer. But the “who you know “ Aspect distorts the level playing field and destroys the students belief in working hard and striving for improvement- which they are told constantly at these top schools - that it’s their fault they don’t get the role or a job etc - not that another student has a “who you know “ contact to get ahead or be showcased. The system needs to be brought into the light for all to see ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I don’t know about the RAD, but I know for certain that there are teachers who tutor students at their own schools (not their own students) in academics, and whether it is prohibited or not is up to the schools management to decide. I also know the judging ‘conflicts of interest’ happens at dance competitions. My point isn’t that any of this is right, it’s more the assumption that this is all news to anyone. Neither of my dc are under any illusion that the ‘best’ dancer always gets the role or the contract. It’s not hidden at all and therefore hardly needs ‘bringing into the light’. It’s just how it is in lots and lots of careers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate_N Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Thank you for saying that, @coniger - you're more eloquent & polite than I could be ... For better or worse, the UK is a country where there has been a very long tradition of buying educational advantage (fee-paying academic schools of all sorts, for example). In my view, if we accept this system, I don't think we can pick and choose which opportunities for this sort of purchase are OK, and which are not. And to direct this personally against some respected & expert teachers & coaches seems to me to be somewhat close to breaching the ethos of this forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteduvet Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I agree. This course is not some covert, unattainable opportunity... it’s a chance available to everyone and thus not comparable to secret private lessons. WL is a business. They need to rent our space for money presumably (don’t they also do weddings??). All of the dance world is hugely unfair if you think about it: who can pay for lessons, costumes, have parents willing and able to ferry them around everywhere, take photos for auditions etc. Children turn down places at VS every year because there isn’t funding, whilst other children can attend because their family is wealthier. That’s not fair but it’s life. The dream of making it on pure talent alone is naive. This course sounds great! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peony Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Potentially it could be a conflict of interest, teaching privately on RBS premises is different to teaching at another venue. However, RBS themselves would need to judge based on job description, responsibilities etc. If they have allowed it then they must be happy with it. I did try and google their COI policy/ register but couldn’t find it. I can’t see that there is any issue with ballet boost arranging the course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coniger Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Of course there is no issue. It wouldn’t be happening if there was. I wish people would stop looking at ways to derail this course.

I have no particular interest in this course & the rights/wrongs BUT I do think there is often need for greater transparency....particularly as RBS is a greater recipient of government (& indeed from charities) funding than most other dance training institutions so they really do need to maintain clarity. I think wording was perhaps unfortunate as saying that the Director of RBS will be ‘watching’ does give that golden glimmer of a chance to be seen that does give ‘added value’ (& an unease to me personally)....having said that, many many times on this forum I seem to recall people saying that the AD of RBS rarely seems to attend actual auditions in person but dies offer places/overseas scholar opportunities from overseas summer schools & competitions....so there is a potential for blurred lines; is he employed at these on a freelance basis or via RBS? I think all these things indeed are issues across many dance & other schools & across Ll sorts of activities & ‘career’ routes....just because it’s always gone on doesn’t mean it’s ok or indeed should continue in same vein. Neither does it mean something shouldn’t....but TRANSPARENCY is important to protect reputations & surely to pass due diligence & auditing when looking at how funding is fished out? Just a few personal spur of moment thoughts....from no position of knowledge of any individuals/institutions/courses/comps mentioned here I’d like to add. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motomum Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I think @Nama raises a fair point. I remember asking my child's JA teacher for private lessons. They said all the time a child is linked to the RBS either vocationally or through Associates they are not allowed to teach or coach that child privately. The reason given 'Conflict of interest.' I also think it is always important to ask questions and request transparency of new business ventures be it dance or plumbing. In the current climate I believe it is no longer OK to just accept things on the basis of 'that's how it's always been.' The posts are slightly off topic now I feel in relation to 'Launching DancEnhance.' Emma Northmore in all my personal dealings with her has always been upfront, open and transparent about wanting the best for the children that train with her and also in any of the workshops that she also runs. I'm sure she will come back and answer any questions or concerns raised here @Emma northmoreif given the chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canary Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 In my opinion these are Masterclasses and they are being taught by a ballet mistress and ballet masters that are passionate artistes with experience and qualifications that make them suitable to use the title ‘masterclasses.’ Lucky children for those that can afford it and can get there, if my DC was still in training I know what she would be getting for Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pandemic. The school welcome the funds from our rental and Didy wanted to create work for herself as much of her expertise involves travelling the world. Its really as straight forward as that!!!!!! Nothing underhand or secretive. Clearly too much time is spent overthinking and looking for the bad in everything!!! I am helping a friend launch and create a business. Mr Powney is merely helping his wife out (for no money.) He is not being paid. We have jumped through all sorts of hoops. More covid secure than you could ever imagine!!!!!!! We are all decent people that thought ;" wouldn't it be nice to provide further opportunity to help dancers with their contemporary. Why don't we......." From the kindness of wanting to help dancers get to their goals. THATS ALL. No secrey, no blurred lines just trying to help. In running this course; We help white lodge We help students And possibly if I think a dancer I know should have got in but they didn't- then YES why wouldn't I mention this to Mr Powney. Why shouldn't he come in to watch?!!!!! What on earth is wrong with that???? We are all just trying to help the dancers. There is nothing underhand...... I am quite frankly dismayed by the outcry. The ballet world has its issues but people are kinder and fairer than you can imagine at the top. Mr Powney is a wonderful person who is just beong kind and open. Didy and I could easily run this elsewhere but why wouldn't we choose to support that school. They too need funds to provide scholarships and every little helps! Really have a long hard think about why some of you are attacking this course. I am truly dumbfounded and quite upset that when we, Didy and I, just wanted to provide hope and insight after these difficult months- that its not being taken for what it is. We thought it would be a treat to use those beautiful studios. That's all!!! In terms of blurred lines re Mr Powney- obviously its been scrutinised by RBS. Everything we post goes via them to ensure at no time its sold as an RBS Course. Many RBS associate teachers run schools and teach privately all with their associates in it!!! Anita Young teaches on courses and also the odd private. People need to work. Teachers are passionate- if we can help we want to. Thats all this course is!!!!!! Just humans helping humans with no ulterior motive. So calm down and either be grateful or leave us to help others. Simple as that. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
