Have you visited them both? Definitely a good idea to visit and get a feel for them. If you get a recall you will also get the chance to see how you feel in their spaces on the day. Some like one more than another.

Have you got an offer for both? If so, you should have an idea of what each school is like to help make a decision. GSA is small year groups and it is in Guildford which is a lovely town. Urdang is central london so accommodation costs may be higher. Best of luck with your choices, its a great position to be in

Just read your other post. Is it a foundation offer she has for GSA & a degree offer for Urdang? Thats a different conversation then. As it will be a 3 year degree v 1 year foundation and have to reaudition next year again. If it were my daughter I would want her on the 3 year degree course but it is up to your daughter on what she thinks will give her the best training

Hi there!

My name is Jenna and I am a first year student at Urdang 😄 In terms of your question, it really depends on what kind of training environment and focus you’re looking for. If you can, I definitely recommend visiting both schools as experiencing the vibe in person will help you decide where you see yourself growing.

Urdang has an incredibly supportive and inspiring environment. Everyone is so talented and driven, and we all push each other to be our best. We train across all three disciplines: dance, singing, and acting. This triple-threat training gives us the versatility needed for a wide range of careers in the industry. In second year, students get to choose their “track” based on where they want to focus:

•

Track A: 50% Dance / 50% Musical Theatre

•

Track B: 75% Dance / 25% Musical Theatre

•

Track C: 25% Dance / 75% Musical Theatre

This flexibility is one of the things I really love about Urdang because you’re encouraged to lean into your strengths while still developing the other essential areas.

As Urdang is in central London, we are just a short bus ride away from the West End! This means that students can regularly watch professional shows and musicals. It is so inspiring to see, and a great reminder of what we are working for at Urdang.

If you have any questions or want to chat more about student life or training at Urdang, please let me know 😊!

Best
