Not-quite-new poster & a question about adult ballet classes (West Country)

[Kate_N]

Hello all, I'm pleased to find this forum again. I was a regular reader & poster on the old Ballet.co.uk site, and so pleased to find its next version here (I also help to moderate the Ballet Talk for Dancers site, particularly the adult ballet students' sections).

 

So it's great to find you all here!

 

I've just moved from a ballet-class rich city (Birmingham) to the West Country. I"m starting to find a few classes here and there, but thought you people would have the inside knowledge. I'm in the cathedral county town, and can find one hour adult ballet clases, but I'm starting to want a bit more. Any suggestions?

Welcome back

 

Can't help with classes, but if you are within reach of Bristol, then from memory there are several mentions of adult classes in Bristol on the forum somewhere.

Hi Kate,

not sure where you're based but Bristol Russian Ballet School have adult classes and 344 Dance Station do too. My older dd goes to the adult classes at 344 so if you want to know more pm me.

I think by train you are only just over an hour from Bristol Temple Meads so it depends on the rest of your journey whether it is feasible.  I'd guess up to an hour and a half driving.  Good luck with your quest and welcome back!

Thank you everyone for the welcome, and the ideas about Bristol studios. During the university term I'm generally working too many hours to do the travelling, but I will keep looking at those studios to see if they offer summer classes. Meanwhile, a colleague has just given me contact details for contemporary classes at a new studio. Did my first one tonight and it was great!
