Whats Happened to Brent Street

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

Wow guys thanks for answering my original question. I didnt know it would open a can of worms.

*MuSiCaLs_FaN* I am interested to know why you didnt go back and finish the course. I know you were injured but couldn't you go back the next year and complete it. Sorry I know all of that is personal. My thoughts were you would get the certificate which would be helpful in getting a position in musical theatre/dancing.

Thank You Denise Love for your input and I'm sure from what you have said Brent Street will grow in the future. I wish you good luck

In Adelaide, in the dance/competition circles, it is very small. Everyone knows each other and basically everyone knows what others are doing. We have Alex, Jess and Sophie going to WAAPA MT and Mel going to Brent Street etc. With many doing the contemporary dance course at the Adelaide TAFE centre performing arts. Our 2 big course in Adelaide is Drama at Flinders Uni and Dance (contemp/classical) at the Centre Of Performing Arts.

In previous years many of our top dancers have gone to Brent Street and it was always a place to aspire to but lately the feedback has been negative. We had already heard all the information that Robo had explained in his post and it is interesting that he, from interstate, should inform us the same information we had heard from past students. Obviously this makes me think the information was correct. Thats why I asked the question in the first place.

Each to their own and everyone has an opinion. But if someone doesnt like a course because its not for them, you cant tell them they are wrong. Denise Love is great by accepting feedback whether its positive or negative. Isnt this what businesses have to know, to take it on board and make changes or whatever.
