Hi guys , ive been reading this thread and I can definitely feel for you all . my daughter is PS1 at Hammond now and loves it . It wasn’t a straightforward journey , she applied for Sept 17 as a year 9 place 😳. We knew this was tough joining an already established year group but went anyway , 2 days after audition we got offered place , and back then she didn’t need to do recalls She got waiting list , lots of tears and stress but we got through it , and 2 weeks before they started back in September we got the call giving her MDS , we were shocked excited and even had more tears as she didn’t believe it , lots of rushing around and off she went . 3 fabulous years and then more auditions for upper school , luckily she got a DADA immediately and loves every minute she’s there . My message is don’t give up hope , hang in there even if it doesn’t happen it’s never a no it’s just not yet . Good luck to you all x

Elmhurst Ballet School helping dancers with body image
Balletdream replied to Out-the-other-side's topic in Doing Dance
I’m so shocked at this discussion . My daughter attended finals at the named school and can lip read very well , she watched the artistic director say “she’s the wrong shape and very masculine for a girl “ luckily it wasn’t about my daughter , but if it had been she would of walked out , after this we withdrew out application . Shocking that these young dancers are put through so much upset x- 52 replies

Hi if you speak directly to the shop who supply The Hammond uniform they will probably be able to help then at least you know your buying the correct uniform . Hope that’s helpful , I’d willingly sell my daughters but she likes to keep it 😳she’s a current year 11 x

Hi WrapsnBows , when we began our journey at The Hammond , my daughter got offered a place but she was on waiting list , we was offered bursary , but 3 weeks before the term started she was offered MDS . Overjoyed was an understatement , and Thursday she just found out she’s got a DADA to continue her training with them. I know it’s a very scary time but hang in there .... dreams do come true . Good luck 👍👍

General advice for a young ballet dancer (15yo)
Balletdream replied to Rein2019's topic in Doing Dance
If you could get to Birmingham look at Nicholsonschoolofdance , excellent teacher ex BRB , would give you honest opinion, and comes very highly recommended , well worth thinking about . Hope your daughter finds her way and follows her passion . She helped my daughter and we still have private’s when she’s home . -

Hi , were are you based ?? which area if you don’t mind me asking ?? -
Hi this is a long shot , but my friends daughter has a ballet recommendation for Sat 16th feb in Manchester , her teacher has not booked any tickets and they are now sold out , she’s so upset that she can’t watch , has anyone got or knows of anyone who has spare tickets ?? Thanks for reading .

Hi , i would agree with everyone who is saying to try it out , if you don’t try you won’t know , and auditions are a great way to gain experience if she is thinking of progressing and auditioning for vocational schools. Its a tough one because you want to protect them , but also support their dream . I’m sure her ballet teacher could discuss it further with you both and take it from there , they make lots of friends throughout their journey and I’m sure they enjoy it too, even if us parents are left stressed 😩. I wish you both good luck and welcome to the rollercoaster world of dance. Enjoy .
