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

BS verses interstate

I can relate to the Melbourne Comp issue. I was from interstate and rocked up for my first solo in South Street Ballarat and all these teachers sitting side stage got up and left before I went on and I thought this was great cos for my first solo I didnt want the added pressure. Well, I won the section and OMG were these teachers so rude to me, they approached me and said I was lucky and I Should NOT have won. How rude. For my next solo, here they all were, THE TEACHERS all side stage watching me and pushing each other out the way to get a look through the side stage curtains. What crap. Anyhow I won that one too. Ha Ha, so the ajudicator must have been wrong twice. I went on to win my age group aggregate and I felt like shoving the trophy in their face. No interstater is good enough to them and didnt I laugh when I read on this site that a WA dance school beat these high and mighty people. The Vics are telling you to stay away from South Street cos they are scared you might beat them. I would love to see the jazz sections. They thought I was a nobody from interstate but hey there is talent outside Victoria. LOL LOL LOL
