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

I started at brent st at

I started at brent st at the beginning of 2005 and i absolutely love it. Moving there is one of the best decisions i have ever made. I know everyone is different and i did know a couple of people before i started from eisteddfod and things but i found everyone to be very welcoming. After grading i wasn't put in the top classes but i learnt to work hard and this year i was moved up. After having gone to a few different dnace schools it is obvious that brent st isn't just about dancing it's about performing and being the best you can be (Jackie Howard gives a great pep talk) It also teaches you to confident in yourself, but not in a rude obnoxious way. I must say though, you do have to be strong and willing to work hard. Whats the point in pursuing something if you arent willing to work hard anyway? To all those being rude about brent st you shouldn't pay out a school that you haven't experienced. After doing extremely well at this year's eisteddfods it is obvious that the school isn't going down hill. Sure brent st were AMAZING 5 years ago but all the other schools started to copy all of their ideas so of course it seems as if otehrs are catching up or whatever. WE've changed and we are trying new things. I hope you all enjoy it. If you want your child or yourself to have a great performance experience come to brent st and see what you think. If you don't like it then leave, who cares. ANywa thats all i have to say right now, I love brent st and believe i will continue to love it until my time is up!
