Comments on RBS, Hammond and LVS - Please Read

[BalletcoForum Moderators]

Dear Members,

 

As most of you are probably aware by now, litigation against the Royal Ballet School, The Hammond School, and London Vocational School (formerly YDA), is being initiated.  Therefore, in line with our legal obligations (and as we have done in the case of other institutions), we are suspending all further comments about the schools until legal action is completed.  We would request you to please refrain from commenting on the lawsuits or anything else to do with the schools until further notice...this includes opening up new threads on any such subject.  

 

We do understand the amount of frustration this might cause, but as moderators we have to take a neutral approach and protect the forum and its members from any potential action or fallout.  We thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation in this matter.

 

This thread has, for the above reasons, been locked.

 

 

Kind regards,

The Moderators

Small question: does this include positive news, for example the RBS summer shows, news of to where students are moving at the end of their time at Upper School, the fact certain successful dancers trained at the RBS, and other related matters which have nothing to do with the legal cases?  These cases could go on for a very long time indeed.

Conveying facts such as performances, shows, destinations of graduates, etc. is fine.  Discussion and speculation are not, for the foreseeable future.
