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

You do the Math

Maybe everyone has gone throught Brent Street at some time or another and found it was a waste of time and not value for money. I did.
I completed the course because I have paid up front.

You can pick up dance training anywhere and thats all it offers. Yes it did have a good name but in the industry , it presently doesnt.

Maybe it can pick up again, who knows.

Hope the financial difficulty has gone and is not at the expense of this years new students.

I dont believe in bagging institutions but I would have liked to receive the training I paid for. It was not a performing arts course. I didnt think I was paying for dance training only with a couple of little tit bits thrown in for good measure.
