An insight into the daily training regime at the Academy for those that might be interested in seeing what it's like from a current student's perspective:

For information and also might be interesting to hear what daily training looks like at post-16 vocational schools in the UK and elsewhere and how it compares to the Russian approach in terms of academic/ vocational mix, dance styles taught, extent of performance opportunities etc?

It's my DD's blog, the quays - well-spotted - she will have a light lunch usually just before or after ballet class along with a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack

Thank you, Harwel, I will pass that on to her.  She enjoys writing her blog - information was so scarce when she was applying so this is her way of making it more accessible for future applicants.
