Hello from White Lodge, Richmond Park, London

I work at The Royal Ballet Lower School in Richmond Park, London and, through the years of my daughter's training as a dancer, I have become interested in ballet and it's history. At 16, our daughter is very happy to have gained a place at The Royal Ballet Upper School - attached to the Opera House in Covent Garden. She writes a blog about the life of a vocational student of dance.

Greetings, All4ballet, and how wonderful for your daughter! I'm sure she works very hard. So is White Lodge the Lower or the Upper School? I should know this but I do forget.... the first time I'd ever heard of White Lodge was several years ago when I became interested in Darcy Bussell's dancing, and I remember reading about her joining White Lodge fairly late in life (or some variation on that theme).

Please enjoy the forum - we have many lively discussions and just about everyone here is mad about ballet with personal favorite companies and dancers.

Thank you for the welcome Karen. The Royal Ballet Lower School at White Lodge in Richmond Park, London - for students aged 11 to 16. The Upper School, attached to the Royal Opera House in Central London, is for the final 3 years of training. Students are aged from 16-19. I believe that Darcey Bussell started at White Lodge when she was 13 years old - so perhaps she began in the 3rd of the five years training that is available there.
