Anon2 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well we've had 2 emails from school in last 2 days so assume some one is around and they are not sending from home. Are you getting the option to for different departments as reception is closed? If you are I would try them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Good idea, I will try that. So far, I've only tried the registrar office. Thank you Jane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollyrox Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have a question regarding what they need to take. In the letter it said black track suit, do you think just black trousers and jumper will be okay as ds doesn't have any 'track suits'. Also, do they have to wear a leotard every day or can boys wear shorts and t shirt? Just not sure what to send him with. He normally dances in a fitted t shirt and cycle type shorts. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 well dd did not take tracksuit last year and wasn't thrown into the street  . She had a long sleeved zip up hoody and some dark coloured loose fit leggings. I think its so they can cover up and keep warm between classes - adnd especially in the cafeteria .

Loulabelle Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My DD doesn't have a tracksuit either, just leggings and a couple of zip up hoodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It was too hot for tracksuits last year - dd packed a couple hoodies and some tracksuit trousers but in reality it was so hot and humid she just put a thin t shirt and some shorts on for meals. If I remember rightly they just had to cover their leotards and not go into the canteen with bare shoulders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermum Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm still getting my head around the no aerosols bit... Not sure how my DD will cope without her usual whaft of deodorant and body spray! Heehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It might be to do with very sensitive fire alarms, they can be set off by aerosols - as we found out to our cost in a theatre mid-performance once, when the alarms went off and we had to evacuate everybody (oh the joys of being a chaperone that day  ). The fire brigade said it was hairspray.  I suggest roll-on deodorant and spritz hairspray! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you He will need dance wear for each day as it is a full on course and they don't have access to the washing machines unless he is keen to hand wash his dance wear! I don't have access to the paperwork but does it suggest an outfit for the performance? In a previous year girls had to have a black leotard of any style for this. If the other boys are wearing leotards and tights on stage he might feel conspicuous if dressed differently although I'm don't think the faculty will mind what he wears as long as they can see his body during class.

afab Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Afab did you manage to get hold of someone? Hope it is resolved. Unfortunately no Jane, I have rang at different times, tried different extensions and left messages but nobody will answer until next week, I'm afraid... It might be too late for us anyway by then...

celb Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The show of work is scheduled from 2.30 to 4 but allow for it to run over until about 4.30 ( Info from the Summer school coordinator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks I thought it was probably about that, we just need to go somewhere else after and need to know what time we're likely to be able to get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBallerina Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Anyone had any more information from them apart from clothing orders which seemed to come with no size charts, or am I just being silly!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It seems to be either small, medium or large, dd not ordering anything this time though. Perhaps you could email them with measurements and ask which size would be best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancermum Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Can anyone tell me if they need to take any money with them? Plus, what in the way of home clothes, smarter outfit or anything along those lines? Finding the info a bit lacking in detail!!! Thanks in advance...

Anon2 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 They are not allowed off site so unless they need anything in emergency which houseparents will pick up for them then not much money. Â My dd will just take some casual wear, jeans, shorts etc for evenings. Dance wear plus cover ups for between classes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollyrox Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ds safely delivered but he is a bit worried as all the boys seem to know each other already.

angel Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 He'll soon get to know the boys and many will be like minded I'm sure.  The boys are with the girls for a lot of the classes and therefore will mix in break times too  I think they had a meeting tonight and time to settle in but as it's been a pleasant evening I bet they've been outside??  He won't be the only one who doesn't know anyone x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollyrox Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 He is really really shy and spent the evening sat in his room on his own as he wasn't sure where everyone was. Hopefully he will get chatting to people in class today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
