BankruptMum Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I hadnt seen this before - sorry if its old news. What a shame for the school and all the excited children who were expecting to attend. http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/8813810.Abergavenny_ballet_school_closes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleep123 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This was such a wasted opportunity but I am not surprised with the outcome. It had been a very strange setup from the start. If there were truely over 100 dancers due to start full-time in September then I do feel really sorry for them but I would be amazed if there were!

KathyG Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 They have been trying to get this school up and running for a couple of years now without success. I would have been surprised as well if 100+ were due to start as earlier in the article it said there was space for 80 dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a novice Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hmmmm.....This school started with associate classes which my Daughter Successfully Auditoned for at age 10 and was put into the MA class which also had a mix of seniors too! I should have taken that as a red flag. We paid for the year and left after about 4-5 months. Such a shame, we were very excited about it at the start!

Jellybeans Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I would think that if that many dancers had in reality secured places and if they came from a wide geographical area then we would have heard a lot more about it, both on this forum and through the ballet grapevine!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Something definately seems a bit dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 My Dd auditioned and was offered a place as a MA there but we turned it down after being put in touch with someone who's Dd was offered a place without an audition. They also wanted a years fees up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
