Whats Happened to Brent Street
Tue, 31 Jan 2006, 12:26 pmHey 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

The Reality

I am an ex brent st kid n full timer and lets be realistic. BS churns out the results with dances that give u goose bumps. However, like all dancing it is all political and a word of advice if you are not in Advanced classes then don't bother. Advanced classes get the best teachers and dances and this is what you see at competitions however it is half full of students who are favourites or have been there since they were babies.
Most F/T also are unemployed and scrap around to find work but this cannot be blamed on BS but the industry which has no decent work coming though in the last few years. So if you don't plan to move overseas and make a career for yourself then be prepared to work as a corporate dancer, mostly getting your hair cut funky for some cash!
I got a lot out of F/T and cannot take back the fantastic performing opportunities we recieved but be warned, if you are not a strong, bitchy female whose mother will push you to the front row then maybe this is not the place for you.
