[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TWSB students who I saw on stage this past weekend at Cinderella looked well trained and well rehearsed. [/quote]

The students at the school are overall behind in technique for their age - I'll see them perform again in a few weeks. 
You are also only seeing a small section of students selected for Cinderella - clearly not their average student. 
The trainee program is expanding at a rapid rate - and while not an official part of the school will further dilute the training. From a pre-pro stand point the post trainee placement was already not fantastic. Don't believe me? look at their placements - despite being in a trainee program, many leave for ANOTHER round of trainee program

You don't know much about the real ballet world do you? Most trainees will never dance professionally.  That is true in Philly,  NYC, SF, Miami wherever...  and those that make it are lucky to make enough to cover pointe shoe expenses.  The cold reality is the WSB has superior training by international standards and it still doesn't matter. Most will fail.  Dance for joy if you love ballet. For professional work, study a vast variety of styles that lean commercial.  [/quote]
