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

what rubbish...brent street is going down in standard and teachers....they have lost pretty much all their fantastic teachers to ED5 and so they should...they dont care about the kids or their staff....they have lost heaps of their talented kids and are running into the ground the few that are left ...and as for tdhs ...the dream was there but the dream never became reality, it started sounding great but turned into a farce....god guys where did your vision go???the children in there think they are the best ever ...but wait for the real world......they cant say they nuture the students because they dont and staff and students are leaving quickly ...deserting a sinking ship....ED5 may not be what brent street used to be but it will become that way give it time ....im happy with the time at brent street but it could have been a lot more positive ...if u want your kids to be positive about themselves ...DO NOT SEND THEM TO BRENT STREET....and sorry brent street once upon a time i used to think it was the only place to be ..now i know there is a whole lot better places to be ...
