My course was £15000 per year for fees alone!!slap in the face. Unfortunately Scotland just does not have the high standard of dance training like England does, although it is gradually getting better. It's a specialised subject and should be treated as such. Many are missing out be issue they simply cannot afford this high fees along with London living costs... I was lucky my parents had money but it shouldn't be for the rich. Dance is for everyone... Scholarships need to become available!

]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2015 05:20:14 UTC 18773338 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18773247?utm_medium=rss My daughter did 6 years at The Dance School Of Scotland. She went to London aged 17 in 2011 on a DaDa to Bird College to study for the diploma. She was eligible for fees only but we had to top up by approx £3400 for the three years. She got nothing for maintenance/living and no student loan. In addition to the top up fees, we had to fund EVERYTHING ourselves. That was rent, utilities, travel, food, clothing and of course the inevitable cost of ballet shoes, jazz, tap shoes, leotards and every other piece of kit which is very expensive. It was crippling financially costing approx £10-12K a year! These kids can't really work part time like academic students can. Certainly at Bird, our daughter was in for 8-8.30am each day and rarely finished before 7pm and some nights 10pm! The course is gruelling and the kids work very hard. They are often in extra classes at weekends. Unless you are on an extremely low income or have a very high income, it wont be possible for the kids from middle income families (like us) to be able to access the training any longer. Its such a shame because kids who have the talent will be excluded according to their ability to pay.

of dance training and how are you supposed to pay for it?, for 3 years! The training at dance schools which are diploma courses not BA courses varies from £24,000 a year to £14,000 a year, how do you pay that? Who can afford that if you don't qualify for a dada award?It's a terrible situation,
