spanishballeteacher Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi all! Was just wondering if there are any summer ballet programs of reasonable price for an 11 year old girl around grade 5/6 level and has just started pointe work? During last two weeks in August either London or Wales? Im a ballet teacher in Spain and have an english pupil who is going to uk in summer and doesnt want to miss ballet!! Many Thanks!!

Anna C Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hello spanishballetteacher, welcome to the forum. Would the summer school need to be residential/boarding, or could it be a daytime course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishballeteacher Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Could be daytime! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahw Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Doh! Realised not London but is residential. Edited February 23, 2015 by sarahw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Tricky because all the London summer schools I know - including London Children's Ballet and Natalia Kremen - are in July. Many summer schools in the UK are at the end of July or beginning of August. The only one I know later in August and can highly recommend is in Harpenden Summer Dance School in Hertfordshire - which is in easy reach of London by train but is not in London. If Wales is a possibility, it may be worth looking at both Ballet Cymru and Bristol Russian Ballet School, who I believe both offer excellent summer schools but I don't know whether they are in July or August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you don't need it to be residential I would say Harpenden would be ideal. Theft rain into Lonfon is within walking distance & there were classes available at several levels with very good teaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Mine is residential in Yorkshire - very reasonably priced ! £275 residential 6 days - performance at the end , and groups of no more than 16 . Lots of forum girls signed up already - they enjoyed it last year . A mix of voc and non voc students. Very friendly and excellent teaching x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfbrew Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think the Harpenden would be ideal for location and level and prices!
