Robyn McKie 🇬🇧 (The Dance School of Scotland)
Solutions4Dancers: Are you attending a summer course this year? If not, what have your summer plans consisted of?
Robyn: I was very fortunate to be accepted into the Royal Ballet School () white lodge summer intensive this year. It has been an amazing experience getting to dance in iconic studios such as the Darcey Bussell, Gailene Stock, Pavlova and Ashton studios and to be taught by incredible teachers who I've learned a lot from. It was also great to meet talented dancers including fellow Solutions4Dancers Ambassadors from all around the world who I'm sure I'll now be friends with for life.
Solutions4Dancers: What summer courses have you attended in the past?
Robyn: Last year I attended English National Ballet () summer intensive which was also an incredible experience.

Connor Hamilton 🇨🇦 (Canada's National Ballet School)
Solutions4Dancers: Are you attending a summer course this year? If not, what have your summer plans consisted of?
Connor: I am supposed to be at Canada's National Ballet School for the summer, but unfortunately I have an injury and had to stay home for physical therapy and to rest. I will be returning to school in September.

Solutions4Dancers: What summer courses have you attended in the past?
Connor: Last year was my first time attending summer intensives away from home. I went to the San Francisco Ballet School () and Canada's National Ballet School ().

Solutions4Dancers: What have you enjoyed most about your summer experiences?
Connor: I was a little scared to be on my own for the first time, but I never imagined how much fun it could be. I met so many nice people and learned so much from the teachers at San Francisco Ballet School. After that I went to NBS and was able to focus on the basics more. I feel like I improved so much that summer.
