• Well my advice is, move. BUT....make sure you get results to annoy your old TC. No point moving if they can't improve you. If a new TC can't get better results, your child just doesn't have it. (NT) -- Plenty of recent transfers have done amazing, I think the antics and the behaviour of the old TCs speaks volumes. Move on with class, enjoy your dancing, and don't feel guilty, you pay them the money remember., 00:49:29 08/02/15 Sun
  • Would you recommend any school? -- Dancemum, 08:15:11 08/02/15 Sun
    • Where you should go depends on so many factors. How old is your dancer? What level? Are you willing to travel? Personally I wouldn't go to a school with a champ in the same age group. There are so many good schools in Scotland to choose from and thankfully some very good newer schools popping up in results. (NT) -- Good luck, 09:48:34 08/02/15 Sun
      • Agree, you would have to give more information to pinpoint a certain school out, also a lot of people like myself have been involved in ID for years, so personally I would avoid certain teachers like the plague, for various reasons. (NT) -- But you might get on fine with them, look at all the transfers recently, it will tell you loads about who to avoid., 11:56:15 08/02/15 Sun
        • Dd is in open and is in top 5 at every feis here or away. Dd is a WQ. Don't want to say age group just in case TCs see. Willing to travel any where for the right school. Over the last year or so there has been lost of dancers that's left and only a few that have join. In my option the very good dancing in the class are starting to fall, not getting same results what they were getting last year. It's such a hard decision don't want to be in the same situation again but when talking to the new TCs I will be telling them what I want and see if they can give it. Don't see why you shouldn't be able to talk to TCs straight (without be cheeky) without all the hidden msgs. I was looking at Caroline Green, Sharon Taylor, Stewart or Coyle all very different class. Anyone any insist (or option) to any these schools? (NT) -- Dancemum, 15:23:42 08/02/15 Sun
          • I would go for one of the newer schools (NT) -- There are a few to choose from, 18:44:13 08/02/15 Sun
            • Stewart do teams, which is a great thing for kids to get involved in, and seem nice, genuine people, with up and coming dancers. CG has really pulled a few top dancers out the bg recently, she seems able to play and keep up with the big guns. (NT) -- ST another good school, very passionate. Coyle very new, haven't seen much although the Mother knows ID in and out, would say if your child has potential they would be able to get her to the top, look at SC, that was not MCL's work, that was her Mother., 20:17:58 08/02/15 Sun
              • Another piece of advice, I wouldn't go in all guns blazing to a new TC demanding this and that. Also don't slate your old school willy nilly to the gossiping mothers in new school either, no matter if you want to fit in or not, believe me, they just want the gossip. (NT) -- Give a new school a try, nothing to lose, people move schools every week, your old TC will probably draw you daggers across feis hall, just wave and smile to them., 20:32:44 08/02/15 Sun
                • Sharon Taylor and Caroline Greene would be the most obvious choices. Stewart school had some good results at the BN's then there's the Osborne's who also do very well. (NT) -- I'm sure with Suzanne and her mother teaching, Coyle will be a great school and as above poster says if your child has potential I'm sure they could get her to the top. Another new school who seem to be getting good results is Sarah Frances Smith so you have plenty to choose from., 20:56:57 08/02/15 Sun
                  • Thanks to everyone that has got back to me very usually information. Will need to sit with my dd and have a serious think where to go seem a lot of great school out there just need to make that hard choose what one. (NT) -- Dancemum, 22:07:55 08/02/15 Sun
