Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Does anyone know anyone who did vocational training from the age of 11 then went back to normal school/local dance school at 16 so they could do 3 rather than the usual 2 a levels offered at upper schools then back into dance college at 18? (of the |Arts Ed, Bird, Lanes ilk) Specifically if its not a classical career that is aspired to but MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double trouble Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Don't know anyone but for MT u don't have to be as young in fact I've heard of students doing MT in their twenties. I was told by a MT school that they prefer students to get A levels first then start training so they have something to fall back on. But I guess it depends in the student and what they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I know of someone who left at year 10 to get choice of GCSE subjects but they are not yet old enough to be auditioning after A levels to get in for MT. It was not one of the four ballet schools they left though as dance was never their main focus as far as I am aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankruptMum Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 My DD was put off of auditioning for dance colleges as although they advertised being able to take 3 A levels some had to include Dance, Drama and one other. Not a wide choice of subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I guess I was wondering how these children coped with the transition back to normal school for those two years whilst still keeping up the number/level of classes. Still- it's a long time ahead & things may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
