+Anna-Carolina That’s alright. She retired almost a decade ago, probably before you were born or when you were very little. If you were to pick any picture book about ballet, I’m pretty sure you’ll find pictures of her. She was a beautiful dancer when she danced with the Royal Ballet.

Oh do I wish and wish I was one of them! I wish I'd been more conscious of what you needed to become a professional when I was their age so that I could have done something about it. Good luck to you all! I'm sure you'll be amazing!

I would love to listen to the nutcracker's ballet music transcripted for piano because it's richer than the nutcracker piano suite that pianists usually do, the ballet musics are always fairy-like and gorgeous!

My older sister was going here for a few months but had to leave because she was homesick, if anyone who goes here remembers someone called Cookie Wild, that is her. She doesn’t even do ballet anymore.

Just asking out of curiosity...my friend’s daughter is going to some well know ballet school here in Japan. She really wanted to star in Nutcracker at the end of the year, and got the smallest role. But according to her, every single kid who got chosen would have to pay about 2-3k dollars to get the role. Including “participation” fee, training/rehearsal fee, costume fee, “thank-you-teacher” fee(?) and tons of other fees. I asked some of my other dancer friends, they shrugged and said yeh it’s about right. But it’s just so over priced imo...just wondering if it’s the same every where else. Or it’s just weird here.

Sounds like a weird Japanese thing. If anything, the children are performing, a.k.a working. My understanding is that they should be paid?
@kaykomckayface10976 жыл бұрын
Galastel thanks! I think so too. it’s just super dodgy and unfair to the kids. But ppl here keep saying it’s the norm which annoys me a lot. Hope this kinda ridiculous japanese thing ends soon.

Aren't there issues about dancing with glasses? Both with it being more difficult because of limited peripheral vision, and with the danger of the glasses flying off? And I don't imagine they'd have glasses on stage - that doesn't really fit the characters. Older dancers would have contacts, but what do the children do?

contacts are your best friend even when your young if you are a dancer

What a stupid thing to say. You can attempt to get into The Royal Ballet school if you come from a council estate if you like as everyone gets the same opportunity at the audition - plus most students there get help from the government to pay the fees. Now the fact that council estate parents tend to not start their kids off in ballet from the age of 5 or whatever (so they wouldn't end up going to auditions at The Royal Ballet school) is another issue and hardly the fault of The Royal Ballet school!

Only kids of rich parents get to go here, £30,000 per year in fees.
@TheSorub5 жыл бұрын
about 90 percent get help with the fees around 20 percent pay none at all, but its still a big commitment
@AllieB-11.114 жыл бұрын
You get help with fees from the government which is more than you get with normal private schools. But tbh there's no getting away from the fact that ballet has always been a middle class pursuit - much like tennis. If working class/council estate parents see it as 'boring' or for snobs or whatever thus don't take their kids to see ballets in London/Birmingham etc so the interest is never ignited in the kid, then how is that anyone else's fault? Maybe they should shift their perspective and be more open-minded. When I was a child I used to go to council run ballet classes. Guess what? No kids from council estates there even though it was free - the parents from social housing just aren't interested for the most part.

I attended White lodge starting in 2002 ... and was like MOST kids - on a DADA scholarship from UK Arts council. Then all UK domiciled kids attended the Upper School also on full DADA scholarships. I don’t think this has changed since then and we had diverse classes relative to private school’s back then ... :) it was an amazing place, but white lodge is spooky at night !
