Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted August 22, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hello americanlostinUK, welcome to Ballet Talk for Dancers! I'm not real thrilled with the hour and 15 minutes tech. classes. Just don't see how one can do a decent upper level class in anything less than an hour and a half. Quote Link to post
americanlostinUK Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 well I have never known anything else, I'm completely open to other schools, I just haven't been able to find any that I can make it to. Quote Link to post
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted August 22, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I think you may have to wait for some of our British members to come to your aid. I'm afraid that I am not familiar with the schools in London. But we do have a lot of posters from the UK here Quote Link to post
Mel Johnson Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Good heavens! It's what? Two or three o'clock in the morning in London? Give our poor Londoners a chance! They need their sleep, too! About 3 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time the first of them should be up and answering. Quote Link to post
americanlostinUK Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 well I'm going away for two days, if anyone from london replies while I'm gone, thank you very much! I won't be able to answer any questions for a bit though Quote Link to post
Dance_Scholar_London Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Where are you taking these classes? Are these RAD classes (as all of the RAD classes in London are only 1:15). It would be useful to know your age and location in London. In case you want to make a career out of it, try to get asap into an Associate programme such as CSB, ENB, LSC or RBS which would give you a long Saturday full of extra classes in addition to your regular classes.

americanlostinUK Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) none of these are RAd classes. I should have specified before, sorry. I am 15 and I live in kensington. I will check into assosiate programs, thank you. I was just looking and I can't find a website for ENB's associate program, does it have one?

americanlostinUK Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 what is LSC? I have never heard of it. I feel kind of stupid asking but all the auditions for the other assosiate programs have already taken place. Quote Link to post
jbtlse Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 London Studio Centre. London Junior Ballet holds classes there--they do have a website, although I know nothing about them. I forgot this was the teen board--sorry. Quote Link to post
Dance_Scholar_London Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 LSC = London Studio Centre The new academic year starts in a couple of weeks, all auditions have already taken place but there are always exceptions. Just try it Quote Link to post
americanlostinUK Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 well I emailed CSB and london junior ballet hasn't had auditions yet yay! Quote Link to post
Dance_Scholar_London Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Good luck and keep us posted Quote Link to post
americanlostinUK Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) audition was today. It was the first audition I'd ever been to. It went okay for me I think. They kept saying do this if you're andvanced 1 and this if you're intermediate and I was a bit confused (then I figured out they meant RAD levels ) I find out whether or not I made it in a week!
