Billyelliott Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The website for this says its been going since 2012 - any one have any experience of this summer school ? http://www.invitationtodance.org.uk/#home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletqs Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Not heard of this but Richard Ramsey is ex RB Company and really really fantastic teacher. I've watched him teach RB associate classes and at Wells Summer School and he has a real gift for teaching whilst being very down to earth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Does anyone know the age range? I couldn't see it on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Richard Ramsey teaches on the Chelsea Ballet summer course(adults) and gives a lovely class and good pointers for technique. I know his wife/partner is called Bethany but don't know if this Bethany is the same one! If it is she is a great teacher too and very humorous. I did her contemporary class on the Summer School (but I know she teaches ballet too) and absolutely lived it. This could be worth investigating definitely.

Pups_mum Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Does anyone know the age range? I couldn't see it on the website. It says 15-20 on the website - it's on one of the moving photos on the Home page. it looks very interesting. My DD is keen to have a go at some contemporary but not sure she wants a whole summer school of it, so somethig like this could be ideal, if I can figure out the logistics - shame it's not residential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It says 12 - 20 when I read it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Oops, youre right, it is 12-20. In my defence, I was looking on my phone and the writing was very small..... (Hastily looks for opticians number to book sight test!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Oh don't rush off to the opticians....just one of those things!! I was so determined not to wear glasses before I was 50 that I was practically holding things at arms length before I gave in!! I even bought some pinhole spectacles form a health show which amazingly did work but it took half an hour to read something that would normally take 10 mins so not much gain there!, Back to Summer School I'm sending this one to friends in Oz .....they are looking for one for DD who will be 15 in March. Ive been looking for some for them in UK apart from the "big" ones. I know her DD would love to do Yorkshire Ballet one again but it's expensive when accomodation etc has to be taken into consideration.

Billyelliott Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Looks like it's worth a try for DS then - if I can find him someway of getting there ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's about a 5min walk from Old Street station on the Northern Line. But How old will he be by next summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hmm still a bit young to do this journey across London by himself methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 There is a Holiday Inn within a couple of minutes walk but this could be expensive too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
