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

Performing !!

Hi All !! Wow !..This site is ..hmm...funny??!! Im a Brent St Kid..and always will be..n not afraid to admit it. Brent St atm is my life. i go to school there n also do after hour classes. I feel that alot of this 'talk' about Brent St going down-hill isnt true at all. In the end I FEEL Brent St is open to teach certain styles of dance, but mainly to find the performer within someones soul.Technique is something to be taught.. And yes you have your 'dance schools' based on technique that go well in alot of the competitions. But PERFORMING is something that can not be taught.. It can only be encouraged to 'be used'. Brent St isnt a dance school, its a performing arts school. You will NEVER find a person who performs from their heart like BSK's do. so yes, i do agree there are great DANCE schools out there, but no other performs like BSKs do. - Thanks Brent St for bringing out the real me !!!.....xx..Good luck to the rest
