Although students do not need to have any formal dance qualifications, previous dance experience is essential and students should be working at approximately RAD Intermediate or equivalent level in ballet to benefit fully from the course.

For this course, students should be approximately aged 12 – 14, and have been in Secondary 1 or above in the year 2025-26.

On applying for the course, students will be asked to submit two photos, one of each of the poses, as below:

Students should wear ballet practice clothes for classical classes and footless tights for other classes. Soft pointe/ canvas shoes should be worn for class and students/dancers with previous experience should bring pointe shoes. Jazz shoes or bare feet can be worn in other classes.

You should also bring a water bottle, a packed lunch and healthy snacks as this course will be very physical.

Summer Accommodation

We are pleased to welcome students from across the world to our Summer Schools. Our course fees do not include accommodation or food, and these should be organised by the student. Our campus is located in Glasgow city centre, and you can find the addresses below.

We recommend Base Glasgow, as purpose-built accommodation for Conservatoire students, with Rehearsal Rooms, Practice spaces and Dance Studios. Base Glasgow is perfectly suited for our summer school students; both safe and secure, with 24/7 staff presence and only 3 mins walk from our main Renfrew Street building, keeping travel costs to a minimum.

Classic En-Suite rooms come with a 3/4 bed, en-suite bathroom, ample storage, mirror, study desk and chair. The shared area includes a spacious lounge and kitchen area.

Please note that Short Courses staff are not affiliated with BASE or on site outwith the summer school teaching hours, and therefore cannot take responsibility for students outside of these hours.

For more information about booking accommodation at BASE Glasgow you can contact them directly via website BASE – Student Accommodation in Glasgow or email baseglasgow@herestudents.com.

Alternatively, there are plenty of hotels, hostels, and b’n’b options available. We are located close to transport links should you wish to stay outside the city centre. If you are travelling to Glasgow for a course, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers course fees, travel, accommodation, and cancellations due to COVID-19 – as RCS will not refund in this circumstance. You can view the Cancellations and Refund policy for full information.

For students under 18 years old, we strongly advise travelling with a responsible adult should any emergency situations arise during class. Students are only monitored by staff during class times.
