Its her Life Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 My dd did a masterclass with Daria two weeks ago at the RAD HQ. She absolutely loved it and found it very inspiring. There was a Q&A session afterwards too which was very interesting. Daria told the girls she is now training to be a qualified teacher for after her retirement, so hopefully they'll be many more of these classes to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Is it at the Methodist Church Hall? If so, that's less than 5 minutes' walk from Beckenham Junction station/tramstop. I haven't been there since my non-godfather's memorial service, which is some years ago. Will pass the info on to my teacher: I'm sure she'll be interested.

alison Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Really? Where on earth is that? I haven't heard about anything. I guess from the name it's at the Girls' School? When I started nosing around the Beckenham forum I discovered they'd had a new dance studio opened last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBA Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Beckenham Junction station is 17 minutes from London Victoria and the theatre is a 5 minute taxi ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC3 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 This looks like an amazing opportunity. I have seen her perform and have heard great things about her previous master class. There are so few chances like this available to really inspire our young dancers. I have just noticed that the link to BBA is now open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Beckenham Junction station is 17 minutes from London Victoria and the theatre is a 5 minute taxi ride. I'd have thought a bit nearer 10 minutes would be nearer the mark, especially by the time the cab's got out of the station and through the traffic lights? And it's 20 minutes from Victoria according to my timetable. Trains quarter-hourly, assuming it's daytime and not on a Sunday. Anyway, I'd go down the Hayes line from Charing Cross/Waterloo East/London Bridge and walk from Eden Park, myself. That's what the pupils do. Still 4 trains an hour, just not as evenly distributed. OTOH, the journey does take rather longer: a bit over 30 minutes, I'd guess, considering the hatchet job they did to the Hayes line timetable a few years ago. Oh, just checked my diary and realised it's a Sunday, in which case half-hourly train services in either case, and check for engineering works. They don't usually take *both* lines out the same weekend, but it has been known to happen. What I definitely wouldn't recommend would be trying to be clever, and taking a train down as far as Shortlands (twice as many from London) and trying to catch the 358 bus (which stops pretty nearly outside the school) from there: past experience suggests that you probably won't be able to get on the bus at all during shopping hours.

BBA Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Apologies, there are no fast trains anymore. It is as Alison posted 20 minutes, however it is still easily accessible from London Victoria and there is ample parking on site for those wishing to drive.
