Opportunities while in College - Favouritism

I have removed this post as I understand someone has copied the original post edited it and then reposted it into another group which in turn has led to bullying of a performer. This sort of behaviour is not the spirit of this board or the Facebook and twitter threads that support it. If I find out ...

Dada funding for 2021/2022

Hi all, Excuse my naivety but Matthew Bourne posted this and I'm just wondering does this affect the funding for Dada's - Extremely alarming & disappointing news learning about the government's proposed funding cuts: 50% cut for Dance and other creative subjects at Higher Education level, due to...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Unfortunately I found the exact same with Laine last year - I emailed numerous times left voicemails etc and never got responses - I understand they are busy but I was left for months without a response in any shape or form - daughter ended up going to Performers where she got a DADA and absolutely ...

Re: All colleges open on 8th March ?

My daughter has just heard from Performers that all 1st years are not returning until 19th April !!! I really don't understand it as they have said that they will need 2 negative tests prior to returning to college so why exclude one year whilst everyone else is returning - makes no sense at all - I...

Re: Any tall female dancers out there (5’10”)

That's it - I know at that age it's hard for them and they are conscious about everything - my daughter has had many moments where comments have been made in a negative way and still does with people saying if you get any taller you'll hit the roof etc and often people just comment on her legs rathe...

Re: Any tall female dancers out there (5’10”)

Hi there, my 17 year old daughter is 5 9 or 5 10 and she's in her 1st year at Performers - got offered Laine, Bird, London Studio, Brighton Academy, Urdang some with scholarships. She is probably one of the tallest in her group and some make comments but she is very confident in her height - I've al...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Even at that I think 3000 would be excessive as they only take in around 140 aross the 3 courses - anyways it's great for her just thought that very strange

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

I seen a post online that Emildale have auditioned 3000 already - surely that can't be right - the stage school were posting that one of their students got accepted and out of 3000 was honoured to get one of their 43 spots - it was questioned and they are saying no 3000 was right - I truly doubt the...

Re: Auditioning for 2020 entry

Hey, my daughter started in Performers and she's in at different times every day but is still doing 7-8 hrs per day in her bubble - all the groups have been allocated and come in at different times - one day it may be 11.30 - 7.30 and then could be 9- 4.30 x

Re: Bird Reserve List

I know from the girls post it doesn't seem that anything else has been done for them by LSC but my heart breaks for them - just imaging how my girl would feel if she was in that situation - she was asking for advice on Instagram so not sure the ins and outs but I really hope they get sorted

Re: Bird Reserve List

I know the poor girl she seems to be stuck as she's paid accommodation, uniform etc - my heart goes out to her -she's trying to get another course - disgraceful behaviour from LSC.

Re: Bird Reserve List

Did anyone else hear that London Studio Centre have cancelled their ballet course just a couple of days ago - my daughter met one girl at the Laine auditions who is a fabulous dancer and decided on the ballet course there and had bought all her uniform etc and got her accommodation booked - some stu...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

I don't think Performers is exclusive at giving boys more opportunities than girls - my daughter has 4 friends in different colleges, Laine, Bird, Urdang and Wilkes and they all in their 1st year have been given chances at different things when girls haven't so go where he feels right for him.

Re: Bird Reserve List

I know me neither - one was on that list don't know if there was more - they already had a Dada elsewhere so think they are staying put but it's crazy that we were told those on that list wouldn't be considered yet one was yesterday - ah I'm just glad I'm sorted - tough for them all this year starti...
