Ballet Schools- Pennsylvania Ballet: school in the works

[marigold]

Would anyone here know if Pennsylvania Ballet's Roy Kaiser has made progress on developing a new school or what the status of it is?

I do know that they are talking about starting a school and have a short summer intensive this year in Carlisle, PA. PA ballet bought a huge building on Broad Street in Philadelphia. I don't know whether the building will be used for the school or studio space. PA ballet is doing very well financially right now. It would be great if they opened a school.

PA Ballet school will be opening in Fall of 2012. You can go to PA Ballet and add your name to mailing list.

I have learned some new detail on PA Ballet they will only be taking upper level students in the beginning is what the word is.

I was wondering if anyone has recent first hand experience or knowledge about PA Ballet and school. The Company received a very positive review in NYTimes this week with a great nod to Matthew Neenan. I am particularly curious about the August program called "The Company Experience" which might be a possibility for my 17 year old daughter. Any info would be appreciated!

oops! Just realized the SI forum is where I should post about 'the company experience'. Sorry. Just getting oriented here.
