Shelovesdance Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 How did everyone’s DC get on? Mine came out happy but not confident, but she tried her hardest and enjoyed it so that’s the main thing. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancemumk8 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 My daughter said she had a good day but also felt like there were a few things she could’ve done better / messed up on (in her words) but she enjoyed it so that’s the main thing. It’s a long wait until the end of May to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletbuds80 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Please could someone tell me the difference between Northern Ballet Leeds and Northern Ballet Manchester? I know they are in different locations but are they the same Company or different Company’s with the same name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Ballet School in Manchester Has nothing at all organisationally to do with Northern Ballet (the Company) or the Academy of the Northern Ballet in Leeds, that said obviously there is some cross pollination of teachers and the like as there are a good number of very good teachers who work freelance across that M62 Corridor... there is some confusing because Lavernen Meyer era Northern Dance Theatre / Northern Ballet Theatre ( i.e. the Company now based in Leeds) was based in Manchester... at the time the likes of Terence Etheridge was dancing with the company... NBS is an interesting organisation with the different emphasis /. streaming available within their course I do , personally, wonder however, if the Existence of NBS is one of the reasons ( along with the historical links of NBT/NB as a company with Central School of ballet via Chistopher Gable and continued through a good number of Gable and Nixon era dancers ( including Kenny Tindall ) is one of the reasons that AoNB doesn;t have an 'upper school' of it;s own despite having a 'lower school' in AoNB CAT and the PGP as well as the Associates and the talent spotting Edited April 23, 2021 by NJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are in different locations but are they the same Company or different Company’s with the same name? Northern Ballet is a company based in Leeds. It has an attached Academy which runs the UK's only CAT training programme in ballet and an Associates scheme. Training stops usually at 16/17 though there is a post-graduate course too. Training is in ballet and (after age 12) contemporary. Company and students share the same studios. Northern Ballet School (rebranded NBS) is an upper school which starts its training at 16. Its name is largely historical I would say - it does have a classical ballet strand but also a (bigger I think) theatre dance strand. Hope that helps!
