Dance*is*life Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Just wanted to say that a student of mine attended senior school last year, when she was 14 and had a fabulous time! Literally enjoyed every minute - both from the educational point of view and from the social side! She came back so motivated!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is 14 too and is looking forward to it. As we are French, not only is she excited about attending great ballet classes but also meeting students from different horizons and improve her English skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adagio123 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 My DDs first time attending the Junior Intensive this year. Which faculty has been there in previous years? Is it Elmhurst teaching staff or do they get external people in? Do we find out who it will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the Elmhurst website that the intensives are taken by Elmhurst Artistic Staff and guest teachers so probably a mix. I've no idea who the guest teachers will be but this is the current artistic faculty: https://elmhurstballetschool.org/en/about/our-people/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancefanatic Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 It's been a few years but when my eldest did the junior summer school, it was always taught by the school's staff. Senior summer school is mainly taught by members of BRB. My younger DD is going this summer and I expect they will be fully taught by school staff, with a couple of members of BRB coming in to do a Q&A session on one of the evenings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French ballet Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hello everyone, I have a question for those who have already taken part in Elmhurst SI. In the timetable that we received a few weeks ago, they mention "Snacks available at bistro" during the morning and afternoon breaks. Do you know if they are included in the price or not? Also, they say that the students can bring a little money for the tuck shop. My question is How much money would you recommend? Thanks for your help.

My daughter is attending and i will probably give her £5-£10 tuck money. I would imagine the snacks are included as they will be hungry between meals so the snacks will keep them going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyNEDancer Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Snacks are almost definitely included. From what I remember (they all blend into one sometimes! they eat really well at the Elmhurst SI 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greycat Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 My dd's very excited and a little apprehensive for junior summer intensive, and has asked roughly how many students attend the junior intensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatballetmom Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Curious if like other summer intensives they scout for year round programs at the summer intensive- has anyone ever heard of this happening? or offer direct entry awards like with RBS?

It was about 100 last year, they’re divided into 5 or so groups I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepineapple Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I hope the seniors had a lovely time! We are getting ready for the junior SI next week but I was surprised to hear that mobile phones were not authorised. My DD was keen to take hers and I must admit I'm a little nervous that I can't contact her. From looking at social media, I assume that the seniors were allowed their phones?

Hello, my daughter has just come back from senior summer school and mobile phones were allowed but there is a note at the end of the kit list saying that they are not recommended for junior students but if they bring one, it will be collected before bedtime.

sunrise81 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It is normal at school to have their phones taken in overnight, so guess they have same rules at summer school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Is it no phones at all or just phones to be handed in overnight? As above, phones handed in overnight is normal at some of the vocational schools so that’s not surprising in itself. If it’s no phones at all then that’s a bit unexpected (and unusual) but I would also say that another summer school we attended this year were cracking down on phone use throughout the day too. It wasn’t a blanket ban but phones had to be handed in before each class as well as overnight. This was towards the end of the summer and the rules had been different in previous weeks so I can only assume it was due to people not complying with the rules earlier on.

WhereToNow Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Elmhurst don’t allow the lower school pupils to have their phones during the day. They get it for short amount of time in the mornings and then again when they finish school and hand in before bed. This was implemented Sept last year. I guess they are doing this for summer school too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepineapple Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Thank you. The last email said it wasn't recommended that they take them but there was no mention of them being able to take it and hand it in at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancefanatic Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I'm also getting ready to take my younger DD up for the summer school today. She will be taking her mobile as per the original email we received and is expecting to have to hand it in at night etc. She's used to doing this at home anyway but wants the security of knowing she can contact us in the early evening without having to wait her turn on the school phone.

Guest JessDan167 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 My daughter is taking her phone too. She wants the security of knowing she can speak to us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio123 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The main thing is the children are happy and content which i am sure the school will appreciate if they decide to take their phones. I never hear from my DD at these residentials anyway 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greycat Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) My daughter also has her phone in her bag. This is first time away boarding without family so wanted to know she could contact us if she wants to. Hope everyone has an amazing time this week.
