Episode 96: Discussing the Royal Ballet School's Recent Announcement
from The Dance Physio Podcast · host Erika Mayall
As you may or may not have heard, the Royal Ballet School recently announced changes in the structure to their full time vocational training program. Starting in 2026 they will no longer be accepting students in year 7 (11-12 years old) and in 2027 will follow suit with students in year 8 (12-13 years old). In this week's podcast episode I discuss these changes and some of the rationale behind them, what this will practically look like for students going forward, and why I think this could be a game changer for the world of vocational dance training.Official Announcement from The Royal Ballet SchoolRoyal Ballet School article on early specializationPodcast episodes mention in this episode:Episode 48: Early Sport Specialization in Dance - Part 1Episode 49: Early Sport Specialization in Dance - Part 2Learn more about Erika Mayall:Follow me on Instagram: @dancephysioerikaLearn more about me on my website: https://www.allegroperformance.comSign up for my newsletter: Click hereSend me an email: [email protected] the show
