Did you ever wonder what it’s like to send your dancer off to full-time training? Now, ask yourself what it’s like to send them to another continent. In part one of this two-part series, we sat down with three parents who, collectively, had four kids attend ballet programs in Europe. One went to Academie Princesse Grace in Monaco. Two headed to London – one to the Royal Ballet School and the other to English National Ballet School. The fourth went to John Cranko in Germany.
Tune in to hear how each family ultimately made the decision to send their child overseas, how the opportunities first presented themselves and what they each saw as some unexpected ups and downs during the time they were there.
If you’ve been curious about the pros and cons of European ballet training, tune in!
