dancing10 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 can you give me an insight as to what it is like please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Tricky as last year was different to the year before; shorter days but 5 days instead of 3, no pointework for the middle and younger group last year, BUT both years were excellent and dd loved the course. If I remember rightly there was a ballet class each day, plus Contemporary and Pilates. There was a Commercial class which was quite street/hip-hop based which was dd's least favourite as she is so balletic and never does hip-hop. Fun though! One afternoon they get to watch Ballet Central rehearse which dd always enjoys. Teachers are usually a mixture of Central's Senior School teachers and some guest teachers. You get to watch class on the final day but Central try to limit this to 2 people per student because of space limitations (although there's always someone who thinks that rule doesn't apply to them!).

taxi4ballet Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 What time to the classes start in the morning? We might think about doing it next year, but it depends on whether we have to travel at peak periods on the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Registration is 9.30 am I think; classes start at 10.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing10 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Also is there somewhere I can sit to do some work or will I have to search for a local library. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 There is a sofa in the Reception area. The school library is sometimes open for people to sit in but you have to ask. Otherwise, Holborn or Barbican libraries are both nearby. Failing that, there are Costa and Starbucks near Farringdon station, and Costa at Hatton Garden! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Registration is 9.30 am I think; classes start at 10.00. Ooh, that would be tricky then, tickets for train travel at peak time are a ridiculous price - we'd probably spend more on that than the course...

Anna C Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yes, possibly. Sometimes it's done purely on age but sometimes standard comes into it. We'll find out on 3rd! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
