Legat School of Dance UK

[Guest arabella8]

Has anyone heard of the legat School in the UK, and if so it would be helpful to know more about the course it runs for 13 -18 year olds and the auditions.

Welcome to the board, arabella8, I an assure you that many have heard of this school. I'm sure you'll get some helpful replies over the next few days. In the mean time, I hope you'll make yourself at home and become involved in many discussions on the board. Perhaps you can stop by the Welcome forum and introduce yourself.

I have Googled 'the Legat School UK" and have come up with nothing. Are you able to give a more complete name of the school. I am sure Major Johnson will be able to tell us more about this system of teaching and possibly the school connected to it? He is a major source of great ballet info!

The name of the place is "The Legat School".

There's a board member - Tara - who posts on the Adult Ballet forum who (I think) attended the Legat school. You might try searching for her posts to see what she's said about it. She may also see this thread and give you information from her experience.
