Whats Happened to Brent Street

My daughter is attending the full-time course this year. She loves it !!! She was already an advanced dancer, singer and actor before starting, but is still benefiting from the course. They took in far less full-time students this year, because of some of the issues related to the number of enrolments last year. This seems to be working out well. There has been some criticism of the singing training received by the full-time students, but the group classes (twice a week) are working out just as well for her as the private lessons she had before moving to Sydney, and she believes her voice has actually strengthened this year. The fees ..... are what I would expect of a any full-time course. Furthermore when you break the fees down to an hourly or class rate they are very comparable to her old dance-school in the country. I've been a ballet mum for a long time, and I must admit that the dance/performing arts world is probably one of the bitchiest environments I have ever encountered. This website is living proof of that !!!!! So far this year has been a wonderful experience for her, and I hope that continues. Yes BS have had some problems and some disappointments this year, but it still seems to be "business as usual" for the kids, and that's great. All businesses have good times and bad times, and while BS may have had one of those bad times, it seems to on the mend. Please give them a break. Stand-back and watch this space and see what happens, I have faith in the current management and I can see that they are working hard to make it better. As far as the course goes, they teach much more than singing, dancing and acting, and the kids (either fulltime or part-time) just don't deserve malicious comments and inuendos which are currently being dished-out on these postings. As far as the graduating full-timers go, please stop putting them down. They are living their dream and will come out at the end of the year with much more than they started with. The rest is up to them.
