West Berks Ballet School
Dear families We already know we are going to miss you all next term and we hope you will miss your visits to WBBS so....we are currently working on a series of online classes which you can access via YouTube at the start of next term. I am particularly anxious to maintain the high standard of teaching which our girls provide and make sure they survive financially during this unstable period. To compensate for the last week of the Spring Term, when we were not permitted to open our school, we propose to offer the first 5 weeks of next term at £2 per class (so if you are doing 2 classes £4 x 5 etc) Each class will be available online for one week so you can use it every day, if you like!. If the scheme is popular with you all, we shall continue, after the summer half term with the next 5 weeks. The class will, of course, be delivered by your usual teacher: Claire, Holly or Lucie. You will need to subscribe to YouTube (free) and we shall message you each week with a link to your class. The ballet department are most anxious for our dancers to keep up their technique as we are still hoping to run some exams later this year. We would also ask you to help your dancer when using our videos so make sure he/she does not practice in an unsafe space. All our teachers will be available to answer questions via email For this scheme to go ahead, we shall need to know if you are 'on board' so could you kindly let us know your thoughts. The cast of The Wiz have already been informed that Claire has rescheduled the performance to 19th-21st October, with a dress rehearsal on Sunday, 18th. Claire will, of course, continue with online rehearsals throughout our Summer Term. Jane & Holly are hoping to hold the 'Easter' course during the Christmas holidays. Sending you our very best wishes during this difficult and frightening time and hoping this news will add some much needed cheer. Keep safe and well. Jane
