I had no idea what the Performance Platform was so I googled it.

 

As a non-dancer I must say it looks like a very good opportunity for youngsters:

The web site looks well presented and glossy, full of detail.  However, there are no names of coaches, jury members or anyway of checking who is involved.

I don't know if these people will be coaching but it seems to be a good list to me:

I found this page using the navigation button on the top right of the website.

Thanks Janet. Obviously a case of operator error! A very impressive lineup.

In fairness, it took me at least 5 minutes to find the list.

Hi everyone 

Thanks for the support so far - happy to say its growing nicely with 50 attending in London with a few days left to apply still!

 

I  am continuing to work on scholarships and awards with the main schools and it will be very exciting what's on offer for the finals.

 

Very happy that it's jumped straight in at a high standard and it's genuinely designed to help all your lovely dancers gain access to their dream schools and training opportunities 😀 

 

We have Joshua Barwick from Elmhurst and Nehemiah from RB as well as the wonderful Anita Young, on our London Panel. Surprise guests to follow...😉

 

Apologies website not entirely up to date as we needed to find another member of staff to do this and its audition season!!!

 

Please take a look at the new residential summer school too!

One of a kind and I am gathering amazing teachers for you all😀

 

Any questions please feel free to ask 😊 

Hoping to create a real dance hub to help and support all.

Good morning !

Did anyone attend the finals last weekend ? 
I was poorly with covid and unable to attend the event .

I would love to hear all about it .

[Ballet Power]

I did, it was brilliant. 

very enjoyable to watch and I think positive for the students who were involved.  😊

[RachH]

Yes my DD had a lovely time too - would highly recommend for next year.

[tutugirl]

Have people heard of the scholarships etc yet ? 

[Tiaramum]

It was such a friendly and supportive competition. All the dancers were cheering each other on and all had a great time. The masterclasses were fabulous and it was great to be able to watch. Highly recommend this for next year
