Lemongirl Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Can anyone recommend a residential summer school that you don't have to audition for? Dd is keen to do something in the summer and is happy to do a residential course. Plus it's much less running around for me! She's 11 and RAD Grade 4 standard.

Aurora Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Where abouts in the country are you? There's Midas in Birmingham or Yorkshire ballet assembly that I know of, both take students that age and level without auditions. RAD run summer schools too in a couple of areas.

Aurora Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ah I don't really know much in or near London, sorry. RAD definitely has one at headquarters in london though. There's ballet west in Scotland too but that's quite a distance from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sussex summer school - near London, no auditions, no photos etc. For children from 5 or 6 years old till 18 ( boarding from 8 or 9 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Cecchetti for young dancers is residential at Tring Park School. The atmosphere is lovely and the kids very well looked after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Not residential - sorry - but LCB's summer schools in London are fabulous. They are usually around Barnes in SW London if that's do-able? A short bus ride from Hammersmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Spanner - I was actually thinking of the LCB performance course which looks great. Only problem is, the dates are fine for dd who finishes school on 5th July, but most of her friends haven't broken up yet and if she doesn't find someone to go with I'll be going backwards and forwards to Hammersmith myself every day that week. With 2 younger dds that's going to be a pain! Do you know if it's near the tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 No, it's at St Paul's School in Barnes, so no tube station nearby. It's about 10 mins from Hammersmith on the 419. The performance course is for 12-16 yr olds so I take it your dd will be 12 by the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemongirl Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sussex summer school clashes with our holiday unfortunately. We are away 26th July - 9th aug. But dd could go to Ballet West before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think Yorkshire Assembly will also clash then. I hope your DD enjoys Ballet West, it looks lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Can anyone tell us more about MIDAS in Birmingham mentioned in this post? Dates are great for us, but not sure if residential in view of the price. Too far for us to travel on a daily basis from Hampshire. Also any ideas of Summer schools which DD could travel to from Hampshire, possibly on her own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 More about Summer schools, currently trying to sort! My DD has always done RAD ballet, is it ok to attend the Cecchetti Summer school? Not sure how different types of ballet vary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 More about Summer schools, currently trying to sort! My DD has always done RAD ballet, is it ok to attend the Cecchetti Summer school? Not sure how different types of ballet vary! My dd is RAD also, and she went to the Cecchetti summer school last year. We recently had details about this year's one from them and it says they accept applications from students studying any method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petipacat Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi All, finally found my password to get back on the site.Just a bit of info about the Cecchetti summer school held at tring ,They are now accepting students aged 16-- 18 studying at intermediate level . I think this is a great idea as they want to accommodate those children who are not necessarily going into vocational schools but still love and enjoy their dancing . They have some great teachers this year too. Anyway I just thought i would let you know love petipacat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
