LinMM Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) This is brilliant stuff from the RAD. I was on the waiting list for their Silver Swans classical summer course as the Improvers course was already full….though now believe they’ve opened a second course at this level? Meanwhile the teacher on our regular weekly City Lit course Alexander Simpkins has just offered a summer Rep course ….in the same week…. so I have registered for that now. But it’s really great that RAD are now offering summer courses for us much older dancers!! Anybody else not on a course yet but wanting one or even an additional one could have a look at the City Lit website as I believe another teacher( I will look up her name) is offering a summer Rep course in the week before the RAD one. It’s not aimed at older people though. This course is run by Dilek Taptik and is from 11th to 14th July for two hours every morning.
