Helene Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm posting this here, because it will impact so many companies going forward. The Royal Ballet School tweeted" Well done to our 2014 grads - 100% jobs in top companies! See where they're going here: http://bit.ly/1otSqqD Here's the full URL to their website, which lists all of the graduates and their new companies: http://www.royalballetschool.org.uk/the-school/alumni/graduate-contracts/ It's great that two are going to Sarasota, where Iain Webb is establishing an Ashton tradition, and four are going to National Romanian Ballet, which happily is getting well-deserved recognition through Cojocaru and Kobborg. (Two have Italian first and last names, and if they are Italian-speakers, Romanian shouldn't be that much of a stretch.) Congratulations to them all and to the companies that hired them Link to comment
cycological Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well done to all! Was just looking at the list and spotted this "Hannah Bettes (2nd Year) – Boston Ballet". Would anyone know what the 2nd year bit refers to? I thought the school was just two years? Link to comment
diane Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Wonderful that they all got contracts! @cycological: The Royal Ballet School (upper school professional course) is three years. (most are, I think) The third year encompasses extensive performing experience, which probably makes it look as if it is not "school" anymore. See: http://www.royalballetschool.org.uk/training/full-time-courses/covent-garden/ - for particulars. -d- Link to comment
cycological Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thank you Diane! Put it down to newbie idiocy of not checking my facts! Link to comment
