A generation ago and before, graduates who didn't get a place in a UK company found work in Europe. However after the financial crisis around 10 years ago many European companies closed or became smaller contemporary groups.  More Vocational schools have been established in Europe and flourished since late 20th century,  so there is a surplus of well trained dancers everywhere!

In a 2012 Dance tabs interview Desmond Kelly who had been the artistic director made it clear that there had been a conflict between Jessica Ward ( elmhurst principal) and himself saying that there was too much emphasis on academics as it was primarily a dance school . Seeing the performance of Elmhurst “Ballet Company “ at the Wells last year was disappointing in general pretty low standard.

it will be up to Carlos Acosta to decide what he wants to do 

I think we should remember that these children and their parents are on balletcoforum. As if 2020 hasn’t been bad enough for them without comments such as yours .
