    Yes, they do need to rectify this in some way, as I spent an evening constantly checking if it was a fault that had been subsequently rectified. 😡 Also, confusingly, if I used the find my seat for me option, it did bring up a stalls circle seat with a pillar blocking the view for me to put in my basket that wasn't available on the seat map 🤔

    Has anyone else had probs, yesterday and today, buying SL tickets on the ROH website please? It says there are 31 tickets on June 14th for example, but when you go to the seat map there are noe available.\

    Wow, Red Shoes, that's amazing! I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, but find that ballet is the one exercise that doesn't hurt (well it does a bit afterwards!) Yoga kills me! But like you, my exam marks are good in the performance and musicality even if the technique is not so high, and as you get to the higher grades, these attributes become even more important.

    I learnt grades 3 and 4 in a beginner's adult class, so had to go to some teen classes to learn the harder elements. They barely noticed me....😁

    Hiya, we persuaded our teacher to let us do RAD grades as an adult. She started us at Grade 3 as being most appropriate for adults. I started ballet about eight years ago and didn't do it as a child, but always wished I had. I got my Garde 3 before lockdown and my Grade 4 in January this year. We're now on to Grade 6 (missing Grade 5, as there are beginner adults in the class who would find it too difficult). The examiners have been fantastic about it. I did Grade 4 exam with another lady, and the examiner, who had seen children and teens all day, said it was a lovely way to end the day 🥳. My jumps are low, my extensions are rubbish, but she scored me highly on performance and musicality. I guess that there are some gains as you get older. 😁

    My friend and I saw performance on Wednesday and were wondering if the 'Stars' were danced by students as they all looked smaller than the other dancers?

    Do you think that means including interval or plus interval? 🤔

    Does anyone know the running time of Jewels (approx) please?

    Is there anyone else in their 60s doing RAD grades? I'd love to chat!

    Hi, does anyone know the running time if Cinderella please, incl intervals?

    I have found a fabulous teacher of adult ballet, who is taking us through the RAD graded exams. We are about to begin Grade 5 in the New Year. If anyone is interested, please contact me for details. The class is at Burnham on Sea. It's not often you find a teacher willing to teach adults the RAD grades! We have had a couple of people leave because of moving away.

    Had two fabulous evenings on Thursday and Friday, grinning like a goon the whole way through. Hadn't bought tickets in advance, but bought them about 7.15pm each night, asking for their best cheapest ticket, and expecting to be at the back of the rear circle, and instead, found myself, both nights, a few rows from the stage in centre front stalls for £26.50! Might be a tip worth knowing!
