Hello. My DD has just got into D&B Academy of Performing Arts in Downham, London, to do the BTEC in Performing Arts and I was wondering if anyone here had experience of it? They’ve only been running it since last September so it’s hard to know what it’s like. TIA!

My niece is leaving after the first year. She’s found the course very heavily dance based whereas she was looking for a more rounded Musical Theatre course. If she enjoys dance she’ll be fine!

@Letsgetthiswrongagain They also do a mix of singing & acting but i will say 50% is dancing.

Ah, that's a shame. What is she going to do instead? Does she have somewhere else to go to in September?

@SimplySandy she’s off to do a childcare course. I think she’s come to the conclusion that though she enjoys performing it won’t be her career path.

Aw, that sounds great. I hope she loves the course. :)
