  1. Wow they have a lot of intermediate/advanced level adult classes. Do you know how they compare to London open class levels?
  2. Those studios look great and it looks like they are actually starting an adult programme in January 2024 which is promising. Will definitely check with them thank you.
  3. I'm moving away from Surrey and desperately looking for some recommendations of adult ballet classes in the Leighton Buzzard/Milton Keynes areas as I know nothing about that area yet. Would anyone be able to recommend some good studios with adult ballet classes at an improver plus or intermediate level? I don't drive so they would need to be accessible by public transport. I should still be able to get to some open classes in London at Pineapple and Central but also any suggestions closer to London Euston would be really helpful. Thank you!
  4. I’ve always found the Capezio Ultrasoft ones to last very well and are super soft as in the name! I’m also in the camp of testing the Imperfect Pointes ones, so far they feel good and I’ve heard excellent things.
  5. Ole & Steen has loads of branches all over central London and I’ve found them great to work from as quite a few have a decent number of plug sockets. As long as it isn’t peak time I’ve normally always found a seat with a plug and it’s relatively calm compared to some of the other coffee chains.
  6. Still looking if anyone else out there has one spare, thanks!
  7. I''m looking for 1 SCS ticket for the matinee tomorrow of Jewels if anyone has a spare ticket? Thanks!
  8. Happy to bundle all the stuff together and open to offers if anyone is interested. Just need to clear some space and want the leotards to go to a good home!
  9. Adding some photos in here too!

  12. Yes it is I’ll message you!
  13. Here's some suggestions from what you've mentioned: Historical sights - Tower of London is good fun, the tour guides are excellent. Also some really nice views of London. For exhibitions I love the National Gallery and the V&A - definitely don't miss the theatre section of the V&A as there's some lovely costumes and secrets about the old theatres and staging. Shakespeare - you could do a tour of The Globe? West End Musicals - As mentioned Phantom of the Opera has some ballet in it so might be a safe first choice. For discount tickets for shows check the TodayTix app as they do on the day 'rush' tickets that are around £25 for lots of shows. Rush tickets open at 10am and can sell out fast if it's a peak time performance. Don't buy full price tickets through the app though as they will be more expensive, better to book directly with the theatre. Other options for good value tickets: head to the theatre box office around an hour before the show starts (risky but you can get lucky with a good deal) or check for the specific show, some offer specific discounted tickets for under 25's! If you are unsure of whether a seat is a good choice (some say 'restricted view' but are good value), check the view from the seat on a website called 'Seat Plan'. It's so helpful! Instagram - I won't link it but if you google 'most instagramable places London' you'll get a nice list, you could make a little walking tour for yourself of those? I'd also recommend a backstage tour of the ROH, they are a great way to maybe get lucky and spot a dancer or two.
  14. I don’t know specific details on the school but I spotted one of the Prix dancers this year was from Basel ballet school in Switzerland. Having lived there for a few months I know there was a really strong ballet scene with some wonderful teachers in the area. From what I heard from them the school has a good reputation and it’s an incredibly small and safe city. Flights are almost always very cheap, it’s a quick and easy journey. Might be another one to explore.
  15. Attaching a photo of the leotard. Style is Alicia, size medium. Fully front lined so fits marginally tighter than the ones with just the bust panel lining. Fabric is all Techni fabric which is less shiny and slightly thicker than the nylon. Feels super soft. Colours are Zenith trim, White top and Zenith bottom. Looks a tiny bit more green in person than the photo. Only been worn twice. Message me if you are interested
  16. I have one for sale, size medium fully front lined Alicia style. Only been worn twice!
  17. Definitely sounds like something I can give a try, thank you so much for all the information!
  18. Thank you so much, will be really good to hear what she says but individual corrects sounds amazing.
  19. Thank you that’s really good to know! It might be a little more of a challenge then but possibly worth giving it a shot.
  20. Just wondering has anyone taken Hubert Essakow's Sunday class at Central? Any opinions on the level and the teaching? Debating trying this one over David's Beginner Improver+ class but wanted some first hand experiences if anyone would be able to share?
