YDA full time training

[No Pink Tutus]

YDA -Young Dancers Academy, and Westend school of Dance. Any information greatly received🙏

My son has just been offered a full place , he’s currently in year 7 .

Do the school also teach academics on top of Dance? I can’t see anything of timetables.
For students who live outside of London and can’t travel daily,I can’t see any boarding options?
 He Auditioned for a associate place. So overwhelmed and overjoyed.  
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. ;) xox 🌎

Hello.   I have moved your post to Doing Dance as this is the place where all the lovely community of dance parents help each other.   ❤️

Hiya

Do you mean he’s been offered a full time place or an associate place? If it’s a full time place then surely you would have been told about academics and boarding! 
Congrats by the way 🎉

Hello, they don't board at YDA and yes they do have full academics alongside their dance training.

May be I should have said accommodation rather than boarding! As yes there’s no boarding at YDA 🤪

I am reading from your post that you auditioned for associates and were offered a full-time place.  This happens at YDA from what I heard when I was looking at the school last year although we looking at Year 10 entry directly.  We decided against it for a number of reasons but did get some good advice from current parents on the forum.

 

They have some accommodation options and on-site academics all be it that GCSE options are limited.  I am sure someone will be able to provide details.

YDA is a lovely school - only about 50 in full time training.  Their academic results are brilliant for GCSE and no they don't have traditional boarding facilities but do have accommodation.  I know a boy there who is very happy.
