Lilac Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just wondered if anyone can help? Am going through paperwork for NYB and a couple of questions have arisen? For one dance we are asked to supply 'Paris pinks'! We have no idea what these are. Shoes? These are accompanied by 'pink stretch and hold tights'. At least other dance is bare feet! Also wondered if anyone can advise about room requests. DD doesn't know anyone so is it best to ignore, or wondering about asking to be placed with other first timers. She is not particularly confident socially so all this is a big step for her and want to make it as good as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Can't help re room request but I think Paris Pinks may be these teaching shoes - leather ballet slippers with a small heel? http://www.movedancewear.com/en/dance_shoes-bloch_paris_teaching_shoe_in_pink/89/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 And "hold and stretch" tights are made by Capezio: http://www.capezioeurope.com/women/tights/transition-tights/hold-stretch-transition-tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydancer Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi Lilac NYB are really good with room allocation, I would email Nichola Packham and let her know it is DD first time and I am sure she will put her with the right people. How old is your DD? The dorms start with 7 children then as they get older it goes down to 5,3 then 2. I am sure she will have an amazing time.

Lilac Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi Tinydancer. Thanks was thinking I might do that. She is 16 and just finished school. Should be in as all room then? Did residential at Elmhurst last year, but shared with a fellow CBA associate which worked really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydancer Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I know one girl going from CBA, she was in group 5, I am sure she will know someone, the ballet world is a small world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Sounds good. DD is currently in group 5 at CBA also so as you say a small world! Thought it would be a lovely performance opportunity for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just to confirm Paris Pinks for NYB are indeed as in the link given above. DD did NYB for several years and we had to get these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Been very impressed, received a phone call from Nichola Packham wanting to sort out the best sleeping arrangements for DD. Was very touched by her concern to find the best arrangement. Also able to ask one or two other question which was useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletDad10 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Bet you can't wait for the Gala at Sadlers Wells tonight. I saw the performance at Sevenoaks and was so impressed. So much young talent in the NYB ranks. Good luck everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
