Whats Happened to Brent Street

Well I graduated from Brent Street last year. At first it was very exciting and I thought it was going to be awesome. I am one of the lucky ones. I ended up getting a good agent and have already been doing some well-paid gigs. I was an advanced dancer when I arrived and while I definately learnt a lot and improved heaps I have to say as a performing arts course it was not value for money. I was very surprised at how low the general standard was in the course. We started with around 95 students which dropped down to around 75 by the end of the year. I would have left mid-way but once I start something I always finish it. By the end of the year we had lost so many great teachers and were being taught by ex-brent street students some of who had just graduated the year before. Not to say that they were'nt great but when you are paying expensive fees you want industry professionals. Singing and acting training was a complete joke...don't get me started. We literally rehearsed our graduation ourselves. The building is not just run-down but it is filthy, the toilets are disgusting. Any time we did floor work you would get up and be covered in black.....I don't think the place has ever been cleaned properly. i think if you have the talent and the drive you will get there anyway, and as for Brent Street, I was very disappointed and even feel a little ripped-off.
