Balleteveryday Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hi All, Can anyone recommend local dance/ballet schools in and around St. Andrews or Dundee please as we’re potentially moving to the area. We’ll look at Scottish ballet auditions and realise there’s a JA class in Dundee too (which I’m hoping we could switch to) so it’s more mid-week classes at a local dance school I’m looking for recommendations of now. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy twinkle toes Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Edinburgh Festival have good classes for children. Would that be too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Foo Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I very highly recommend Julie Young Dance Studios in Perth. Again maybe too far for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great to hear a couple of recommendations for the same studio and we can look in a fairly wide area to settle so this may well be very helpful! Thank you 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllAboutTheJourney Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Another school in that area would be Yvonne Gray Dance Studios - no direct experience but it’s a well established RAD school who seem to have a few kids doing associates etc. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve Googled the location and I think this might be just a bit too much of a stretch outside that planned area but I do appreciate you letting me know about it! All the best 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Ps - I could be wrong but I believe RBS Dundee associates is on a Sunday rather than a Saturday. Just mentioning as I know most other centres are a Saturday so depending on where you’re coming from it may be a different day than you’re used to. With Scottish Ballet you have the option to go weekly or monthly - most kids from the area you’re looking at would be monthly JA’s. This year it’s the first Sunday of each month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great bit of information about RBS, interesting how it potentially clashes with SB but I guess they cover a wider range of kids too in the West that can’t get east weekly.

Northballetmum Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The RBS associates in Dundee teacher has her own school in Perthshire classical ballet coaching with Kelly Mcole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisforBallet Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 We do RBS Dundee and SB - mids now. They schedule classes around one another now which is helpful. Highly recommend Kelly McCole. Both Julie Young and Yvonne Gray do other dance styles too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
