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

Are you aware NIDA has the Triple Threat which is 1 year cert course in singing, dancing and acting. Are you aware WAAPA too has the one year MT certificate course in singing dancing and acting.

I have been to Brent Street, I have my cert. How can you tell me Brent Street compares to the rest. WAAPA performance's are speccy. Man, have you missed something, if you've not seen this.

The dance classes were great and so were the dance teachers, I said that before and I am so so greatful for that training. But it was not what I wanted in a performing arts course.

You can get personal and throw around abuse. It does not bother me. I am stating my opinion. If you want to dance go to Brent Street it is great but if you want a performing arts course go elsewhere.

I think its great that you are passionate about Brent Street but each to their own.

Yes I am very happy with my individual achievement, isn't that what its all about. I have performed in 2 major touring shows. If I dont get another so be it, but I have achieved my goal. I did whatever it took to get there.
