    Wishing all the little dancers who applied for Y7 places the very best of luck. I have seen some MDS awards at Tring confirmed on social media but no other news.

    Perhaps those who left had enjoyed the matinee so much that seeing different dancers simply didn’t ‘do’ it for them in the same way? Of course I am sure from reading the reviews that Campbell and Hayward were amazing, but it seems that so too were Hirano and Lamb - and their performance may have touched those who left in the evening in a way that Campbell and Hayward didn’t, for whatever reason.

    Sometimes it seems that RB dancers who excel in the roles they have been given are ‘taken for granted’ and not given the chance to take on eg MacMillan roles as early as perhaps others may do. And it has sometimes appeared that excelling in the MacMillan roles is a passport to promotion even without being given classical roles (although I appreciate that that isn’t the case for Melissa Hamilton).

    Not sure whether she had danced Giselle by then.

    Francesca Hayward became a principal without dancing the big tutu classics as far as I remember.

    I’m also surprised at Kaneko’s height. I had thought she, Magri and Naghdi were similar heights although I too thought that Kaneko and Naghdi have particularly long legs which makes them dance ‘taller’ than Magri. That makes Magri look not much taller than Hayward.

    Thank you Birdy. I’m delighted that height is no longer an absolute barrier to women dancing professionally.

    How tall is Milda Luckute?

    I can’t help I’m afraid, but my goodness you don’t have to apologise for your English! I hope one of the very knowledgeable people on here can help identify the ballet, which sounds delightful.

    I agree, best to make an appointment - if your DD currently wears a particular type/maker and size of Freeds, perhaps let them know so that they can possibly get some potential pairs in stock for your visit. We made an appointment when DD got GMs from there, including giving confirmation as to the type of pointe shoe she was wearing otherwise, size, foot type etc - they made sure that they had several potential pairs in stock ready for our visit.

    Planet Dance at Batley has a wide range of pointe shoes (and indeed of all things dance) in stock. DD’s friend wore Freeds bought from there.

    It does seem (and this is of course only my opinion, which may be quite wrong) that some dancers who excel in the big classical roles are considered less likely to do so in the MacMillan repertory and for their chance to take on roles other than the big classics to be delayed as a result. And there is no doubt that the Royal Ballet previously publicised the career of one of the younger principals much more than those of their contemporaries. This affects all of the principals in terms of who Joe Public has read about and may consider the only dancer to go to see.

    Is this the statement used by IDTA?

    Back at you, Anna and everyone else celebrating Christmas 🎄 x

    The Rhapsody coaching was lovely. Tianie-Finn Grainger has something special in terms of watchability and magnetism, I thought.
