What our 2014 Summer School students said....

 

"LOVED every second...next year make it 2 weeks!"

(2014 student)

 

The students at Chantry Dance Company Summer School are  a mix from ages from 11-adult, and experience levels from improver to professional. These wonderful groups of people come together during the Summer to experience a taste of what it is like to work in a professional contemporary ballet company. We ask them to take on huge challenges and every student tackles  each one with determination and tenacity. By the end of the course, they are no longer a group defined by their age, ability, gender or anything else - they are simply and wonderfully a group of dance artists helping and encouraging each other on their dance journey. 

We will be forever proud and inspired by you all.

Thanks for giving us the details of your summer school intensive.  It is always useful for our members to know what is out there.

[Dancermum]

Can I ask roughly what the class size would be and is it spilt by age/ability? It sounds interesting.

[Chantry Dance Company]

Dear Dancermum,

 

          We take around 20 students on the course. Technique lessons are split according to ability, so approximately 10 dancers in each class. When we are learning repertoire or creative work, the whole group works together, generally with 2 teachers present. If you would like any more details, please feel free to email me. Many thanks and best wishes.
