Whats Happened to Brent Street
Tue, 31 Jan 2006, 12:26 pmHey 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

Wed, 1 Feb 2006, 03:07 pmWow these posts have been amazing.
As a dance teacher I have known heaps of kids who have gone from SA to Brent Street and really Brent Street was down the line of preferences and last resort for many. SA unfortunately does not provide further education in performing arts.
WAAPA was the one most wanted to get into, then NIDA, VCA, Danceworld 301, Dance Factory then Brent Street.
Out of 10 students, I would say only 1 really enjoyed the Brent Street course and he got a job on cruise ships. All the others said it was ok. So one out of 10 isn't bad.
All of these kids were very strong in song and dance.
Reading these post it appears that Brent Street is not happy about the place at Newtown. The Sing Over King keeps poping up. Maybe a past teacher starting up something himself. Ah well I can see it happens in every state. Maybe sour grapes, but hey you have to get over it. One provides dance and the other provides singing and acting. From what we have heard in SA the newtown course is fantastic. The teachers are top quality. But ultimately its what the students want to achieve themselves.
PS
Who knows who provided the dancers in the Cadbury Favorites TV ad to the tune of Anything Goes, is that Brent Street.
