No, but my DD will be starting in her 3rd year with Scholars in Sept and she loves it, she is also auditioning for full time there for next Sept and Mr Howland has certainly brought back her passion for ballet over the past few years. It is a very good programme with high quality training. Huge good luck to your DD Edited July 12, 2021 by Milzmam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixiewoo Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Good luck to your DD BusyDancemum. My Dd is starting her 5th year with Scholars in September, and loves it. They have been brilliant all through out this crazy past 18 months, and it is somewhere she is seriously considering for full time training. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceMamma Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 My DD auditioned on Sunday too. We noticed that there weren’t many younger DCs there. Is scholars more suitable for teens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixiewoo Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I don't know what the age range for auditions was. When DD started you had to be at high school to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLou Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Ds loves scholars and will be going into his 3rd (or maybe 4th 🤔) year in September. Martin Howland is fantastic and it’s great for the boys to have a male role model. I echo Pixiewoo’s comments about how fabulous they have been throughout the last year too. He put a couple of clips of the audition choreo on his Instagram - Howlyballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD doesnt as she has singing lessons anyway and as the vocal class is normally before the Scholars session it would mean leaving home earlier for us as we live 2 hours away from Leeds. Might see you at the intensive if you can get her booked on xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought nos would have been sent the same day too, they did say we would hear by Friday either way...maybe they are still deciding on some 🤷♀️. Mine found it hard too but really enjoyed it! Was your DD in the younger group too? She said there was some very strong dancers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixiewoo Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Congratulations to the yeses, and fingers crossed for those still to hear. DD used to do the vocal class, and after a couple of years of not doing it, is adding it back in! She enjoyed singing in a group, learning musical theatre songs and adding some movement to it. All ages are mixed together, and I think about 1/3 of the scholars do it. Mr Rigg is excellent. ( DD has singing lessons, but says the vocal class complements them as she won't have the opportunity to sing in a choir at college.) Scholars is a 90 minute drive away for us, and we decided that she might as well add vocals back in , in that we were already there! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, nightmare. Luckily I knew about it as there wasnt any when dd did the summer intensive, sorry didnt think to put it on here. I parked in Templar Street car park behind Sports Direct, cheaper than I used to pay at Quarry Hill and only a 5 min walk to Northern Ballet. Think I will be dropping off and then parking in the winter months though as cant imagine dd being very happy walking in her leotard, haha What did your dd think about dancing in masks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I parked in Maude Street car park, and there is a fair bit of 'on street' parking around there on 'the calls' ... if i can work out how to get to the calls !!! 😁 ( cost me less than quarry hill too! ) although I felt a bit conspicuous sitting in my car reading! I did think about Edward Street/Templar Street, but as DD has to be there for 12.45(ish) for vocal and then finishes at 5.30, or even later when there is the pointe class, it was too long to park there without it costing a small fortune! I'll be dropping off and then parking too in winter, although picking up was chaos. Will have to ensure DD actually puts some clothing on to leave the building 😅 DD wasn't too impressed about dancing in a mask, she assumed the wearing of a mask at all times was outside of classes! ! She didn't like singing in a mask either. How was your DD about it? Edited September 6, 2021 by Pixiewoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
