  1. Hello all I was very sad to learn of the passing of Gailene Stock today - far too young to leave us. She was always very pleasant - she will be missed. F x
  2. Well done from us Belljul!!! Would be fabulous if we can see the finals on the internet? F xxx
  3. See you there as DD is at ENB on 8th too!! She is in at 1.15?? F xxx
  4. It was a "no" for DD.... ah well! Onwards! Best of luck to others waiting F x
  5. Hello all - well the (much dreaded) letter from Royal Ballet has landed (Birmingham auditions)..... Am sitting looking at an envelope clearly containing a single sheet of paper - that will be a no then!!!! (2nd this week as got a no from Elmhurst on Monday..) SO tough this process isn't it? Just relieved she has at least got a place at Northern!!! Good luck all with opening the post.. F xxx
  6. Quite a lot as wasn't expecting to get anywhere!!!! Royal, Elmhurst, ENB, Central, Ballet West and School of Ballet Theatre UK.... done 3 auditions (including Northern) - waiting on 2 letters and 4 auditions to do...... xxx
  7. Hello all! Well it has started WELL for DD!! She has an offer of a place at Northern Ballet School in Manchester - so a positive start to the audition process for her and WELL DESERVED! (she is a genuinely nice girl who has had it very tough the last few years..) Waiting on 2 letters and 4 more auditions to go.... Best of luck all F x
  8. Well done all the "yes" 's and commiserations to those with a "no" - we are expecting a "no" for upper school any day now so I do know how it feels... Can I just say that DD only tried for WL for y7 and made it to finals... she didn't get a place, HOWEVER, had she have got a place she would have missed out on some wonderful experiences in ballet and would also not have some of the wonderful ballet friends she has made since.... I do believe that everything happens for a reason - but do remind me of this should she get absolutely no finals!!! F xxx
  9. Is it a coincidence that my roots are now coming through grey rather than their once natural blonde??...... Hope all is going well all!! Fingers crossed for all our dancers xxx F xxx
  10. Well I just want to say "break a leg" to them all - DDs "journey" starts tomorrow.... she has her head firmly on her shoulders and expects no finals - so anything beyond that will be a MASSIVE boost!!! We are realistic in our house!!! All do your best and ENJOY it - that will shine through (and as my DD says... "at least you get to miss a day of school" ) F x
  11. Well, trains booked for us as DD starts her quest for an Upper School place next week with audition number one of many!! Rizzo - well done to your DD - my daughter loves Ballet West and we are up there in Feb half term. Good luck all! F xxx
