Hey I have just spoken to a couple of girls who have left Brent Street before they finished the performing arts course, they said its gone down hill. Does anyone in NSW know whats happening there. When you read some of the musical theatre programs that tell you where the artists have studied, some say Brent Street but have moved on to other teaching facilities to study musical theatre.

I was looking at Brent Street but they say its just a dance school with fifty or more to a class. Its alot of money to pay for "just a dance school" And not even their professionals are getting any work

ed5 rocks

I am an ex student of ED5... I attended the school for about 14yrs... I used to think brent street was awesome also back in the day and loved the dances they performed at the Sydney Eisteddfods but recently they aren't so fab. Even though I am no longer a student at ED5 I still go to the concerts every year the senior school and full time concerts and for whoever said their full time conert sucked last year you must be BLIND!!! I thought it was AWESOME!! there was plenty of energy, passion and strive for success. I know many of the students from last years full time course, 1 happens to be my neighbour and everyone of them loved the course and would do it again if they could!!! The students of ED5 are getting better and better every year. For anyone wanting to do a full time course I strongly recommend ED5.... there are plenty of opportunities for the future and they have very strong networks with the USA.... one more thing then im off- brent st ARE losing all there good teachers to ED5, believe they are happier there!!!!!!
