AdageKitty Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hi all, I tried searching through this forum but couldn't find any information. Has anyone done the summer intensive at La Scala before? Any details of their experience would be most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecircus Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 No personal experience of it but it's aimed at a high level. Are you coming from the UK? The courses rum from 3-7th July or 10-14th July so before UK schools break up for summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdancedjustamum Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) I would be interested to learn about this too. I was informed by the school that the classes will be conducted in Italian (and French for the technical terms) but I wonder how students who only speak English can cope or whether this won’t be much of an issue.

The summer intensive will be in Italian so I reckon the full time programme will most likely be. DD doesn’t speak a word of Italian but the school assured me she would be fine - not sure if she feels the same way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full time programme is certainly in Italian and does not include a boarding option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medora Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Hi, did you end up going last year? Would love to hear about it. If anyone has looked into the full time training option I would love to hear about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecircus Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I'm also interested in hearing from people who did the summer course. Maybe my DD will do it next year. We looked into the full time training option for the current academic year but decided against it,(not because there is anything wrong with the course.) Happy to answer any specific questions about that if you have any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medora Posted Wednesday at 14:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:48 Yes please invisiblecircus! - how many hours/week and what’s the split between contemporary and ballet? - housing? - do they teach in Italian only? - if this was for upper school, how do they do academics? - how easy/hard would you say it is to get a place? Compared to John cranko, princesse Grace for example? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
