Hmmm, what is it about the North West? I was warned. I experienced the same as @Anthony Bartlett. What a strategic (tokenistic), tacky, distasteful and terribly uncomfortable (discriminatory) experience.

Je suis arrivé(e) juste un peu plus de dix minutes après 20h, soit au moment où le cours a commencé (en pensant que j'avais voyagé depuis Manchester), la porte d'entrée était fermée et personne pour répondre à la sonnette ou au numéro de téléphone à la réception. Ce n'est pas la première fois non plus. Et pire encore, en parlant à un membre du personnel sur les réseaux sociaux, ils n'ont pas été désolés et ont commencé à me reprocher ! On m'a menti et on m'a dit qu'il y avait quelqu'un à la réception jusqu'à 8h30. Donc soit je ne sais pas lire l'heure, soit on m'a ignoré ! Je ne reviendrai pas de sitôt et je ne recommanderai pas à mes étudiants d'y assister.

Alyx Wharmby I'm really surprised to hear your review and I can only speak of my own experience. I know that my mums income was low and Rare Liverpool stepped in and told her 'ability to perform not ability to pay' in fact encouraged to me to do more classes at their expense. I thanks to the support of many including Rare Liverpool received a full scholarship to the very prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre school. They even helped me access fund raising to move to London and I am certainly not a footballers child. I am now going to Laines with full funding after being offered 10 places and dadas. I have been lucky to have a career in tv and stage so far and again I am not a footballers child. The thing with Rare apart from the annual awards help that is given to students is kept quiet in order to protect the dignity of the students. Often the students themselves don't know they are funded you have to provide proof of income. I have seen Lyndsey and Michelle phone people to sponsor kids who on paper could afford classes but it's just not happening. As for the studios they are fab but what does a lick of paint mean 'fur coat and no knickers' springs to mind. I have seen rare pick up kids that have been let down by other schools and colleges and continually fund them. As for the child you are discussing I think that it is a sad state of affairs when children need to be bullied in this manner. She is just a child and should not be brought into this! I met this. Hold at Move It! A few years ago when Rare took to London anyone who wanted to ( they funded some too) i watched her dance in many well known teachers classes and omg she was amazing! I didn't know who she was but I knew I couldn't keep my eyes off her. The poor girl is very aware of her parents and glad that her dancing friends do not have the same attitude as you they are mature. I really feel any point you may have had becomes invalid when your jealousy/insecurity if a child is shown in this viscious manner. Agreed everywhere has problems but it's how you deal with the problems that show the calliber of a person. I thank Rare for so much including the session with Melissa they funded in order for me to master To Kill A Mockingbird which consequently led to my first Weat End production playing Jen. Again my parent is not a footballer.

To Alyx Wharmby Continuing our response your review: Quantity over quality: You're assumption on increasing income through quantity is completely wrong. We have actually reduced student numbers and increased staffing. We are controlled by the charity commission which means every single penny, decision made is orchestrated by us, a board of trustees. This information is available and completely transparent. Again we would welcome you in to discuss this further if need be Graduate teachers: The graduate teachers are in addition to our fantastic guest teachers and again we celebrate the fact that we can develop these as budding young choreographers. All graduates have trained in one of the top 5 conservoitoires in the U.K, New York and LA so bring a fresh and eclectic level of training. The are police checked, insured and are also mentored and supported by the fantastic guests you refer to along with the Directors of the school New studio; You mention that the new studio is barely used, it is actually a college building. We use this studio daily during college hours. But we prefer to keep our younger students in our main building. We are also fundraising through our charity to invest in this space to have further facilities for our students. If there is any more information you would like please arrange to come in for a chat. We value feedback and are always trying to improve our service. Some of your points are borderline potential allegations which could be tantamount to slander and we will pursue it if necessary through our legal team. If you are going to respond further to this please do it with a name. If not we will actively investigate your IP address and will take further action Regards The Board of Trustees

Traitement vil et méprisant de la part de Michelle après des années à les utiliser et en tant que cliente payante - mes merveilleuses dames de la Hen Party ont été traitées comme de la merde ! En me disant que c'était « pas de nudité, vous savez » – nous faisons seulement du burlesque vestimentaire chic, amusant et en couches, ce qu'elles savent. Ils nous ont mis dehors trop tôt ! Ils nous ont traités avec un mépris total et sans aucun respect, tout en ayant pris notre argent ! ÉVITEZ - N'UTILISEZ PAS - UTILISEZ plutôt LIVEWIRE DANCE STUDIO ou MDI sur Hanover Street. Je n'y retournerai jamais et je ne le recommanderai à personne !
