Autumn Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 My daughter is in a bit of a quandary. She loves ballet and is part of the Northern ballet associates. She is in year 11 so age fifteen. Lots of her peers are auditioning for dance schools but my daughter would like to complete her A levels. She wants to continue her ballet training at an advanced level with the idea of training at eighteen. Unfortunately, we can't afford to board and complete A levels at the same time. Are there any associate programmes for post sixteen years or places where my DD can train or have lessons? We are in the Derbyshire area and we are happy to travel an hour plus for the right training. Please could you let me know if there is anything in the area or opportunities. Thank you in advance of any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixiewoo Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 My DD attended Renaissance Arts Scholars on alternate Sunday afternoons in Leeds, as well as dancing with her home dance school. She then went to do a musical theatre degree at 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiaramum Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Ballet Boost is great. Kings International Ballet Academy have coaching slots available too - high quality teaching if you can get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowlight Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 @Autumn - have you asked Northern Ballet if she could stay on? Or if not if they have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Foo Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Have you thought of a weekly private lesson? For a couple of hours? Some of the RBS associate teachers do private lessons if you can find a contact for them. Maybe from the Manchester center or Birmingham? Sorry, my geography is not great. Maybe someone from Northern could suggest someone fabulous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In at the deep end Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Definitely look at Sophie-Jane Harrison. She is brilliant! I cant recommend her enough. Her associate scheme is on the outskirts of Birmingham, near the airport/NEC. https://sjcoachingandworkshops.co.uk/sj-coaching https://sjcoachingandworkshops.co.uk/register-interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
