MONICA BERGOUT BA (HONS) BALLET EDUCATION
What was your background before starting your studies with the RAD? I was introduced to the RAD at the age of 11 when I started taking ballet classes at a school that taught the RAD syllabi near my home in Seattle, WA. When I moved to London with my family three years later, I was thrilled to learn of the BA (Hons) in Ballet Education and hoped that I might be accepted on to the programme when I was ready for university studies.
What areas of the programme do you enjoy most and find most useful? I am now a second year student on the programme and am really enjoying it. The practical technique classes which we attend are a highlight for me. Not only have I been able to improve my own technique, learn exciting new vocabulary, and study beautiful pieces of repertoire, but I have also been given a comprehensive understanding of ballet technique and how it is taught and learned correctly. Another highlight for me has been learning about ballet, its history, its various styles, and its great choreographers from a theoretical perspective. The whole programme has allowed me to combine my two great loves of ballet and writing.
What do you hope to do once you graduate? I am eager to continue studying once I graduate, hopefully at a Masters level. My ultimate goal is to open up my own RAD ballet school in the United States. Ballet has been such a blessing in my life and I long to share it with my future students, providing them with such a positive, beautiful, and productive way to spend their time.
Would you recommend this programme to others? My experience so far on the RAD BABE programme has left me convinced that it will thoroughly prepare me for all of my future aspirations. For this reason, I would recommend this programme to anyone who wishes for a truly outstanding training in ballet education.
