    I wonder if Peregrine the Pony will be taking a trip up to the Wells! I’ve seen him being walked along Whitehall during the last run so maybe a bit too far for him to go!

    It’s a very late start though!! I won’t start any class these days if it starts after 7pm latest!! But do hope you manage to keep it going.

    Katie Robertson is a lovely dancer and think she graduates from RBS this summer. Will look at videos when get home!

    Yes that is good!! Well done to all of them. I just booked Fille at Sadlers Wells today …it seems such a long way ahead but as only three performances thought best to get on with it!

    I’ve watched the replay and I have to say I do like all those technical details about where the foot is and how to achieve a certain arm position in a difficult lift etc etc. So I enjoyed the second one too. Just beginning to get a good idea of Sae Maeda as opposed to a couple of others in the Company and I like her a lot she seems to have a warm personality.

    Well Winters Tale is my old A level Shakespeare text!! Id probably enjoy it more now but back then I was dying to read Romeo and Juliet and was disappointed in the choice of Winters Tale. So in the end I did read R&J in my spare time ….but not such a good plan at the time for me!! It was Chaucer and TS Eliot who got me through my A level in the end lol. I much preferred the ballet to my remembered time with the text at any rate!!

    Oh Rebecca is joining SFB then but as a corps de ballet dancer a slightly strange move in terms of career but had high hopes for her when she first joined ENB perhaps she thinks she has more chance of progression with SFB.

    Hee hee perhaps all those on the Forum who’ve had White Lodge ambitions at some point should do the same!

    Any chance we could keep this thread for the actual Rep for next season when it’s announced! It looks like this will not be until around April 30th but not too long now.

    It’s actually amazing how the body produces extra bits of bone sometimes where it is stressed supposedly to increase strength for more support so is trying to help us out but unfortunately dancers don’t want this extra bone getting in the way of ligaments etc. Hope both James Hay and Hirano are fit again very soon.

    Oh that’s good news for her to get a place with the Dutch National Ballet Junior Company she must be very good!! Wishing her lots of success there.

    Yes such a pity you can’t get to see your daughter Birdy. Has she an idea of where she would like to start her career?
  13. LinMM
    Well you do have to have a bit of imagination!!

    I don’t have any religious views whatever but still like the idea of them floating off to some sort of other world in that Swan Boat thingy it just so suits the music at that point.

    Perhaps Odile should have fallen for Benno then!! Poor old Siegfried!

    There are very few performances of ENB’s Giselle in January …5 or 6 I think.

    Actually the photo above Prix de Lausanne announcement of where winners are going is of 2024 competitors my mistake ..thought I’d recognised a 2023 dancer and jumped to conclusions. Only mentioning here because of above comment but otherwise there’s a Prix thread to discuss anything further.
  18. LinMM
    Yes that’s the one!

    Have just signed another petition to save a choir in Cambridge which has suddenly been told it will be disbanded in June 2024 They were not privy to the discussions regarding this until already a fait accompli 😥

    What amazing news about your dad Kate_N that’s lovely to hear!! Also I know somebody who had to have part of colon removed (don’t know which bit) and for a while did have a stoma bag but later on this was reversed so she no longer has one.

    Looks like I did pick up on Airi Kobayashi and Martinho Lima Santos back in February as well as Paloma. I see the French dancer I thought might be a fit for the RB has gone to the Swedish Ballet.
  22. LinMM
    Was just re reading my Prix de Lausanne musings from February and apparently mentioned these two lol!!
  23. LinMM
    I see Paloma has gone to ABT who was one of the few who really stood out in February. I know splitting hairs here as all obviously have a good standard but that little bit extra!! Annoyingly the picture above this info is of 2023 winners not this years!

    Well done Everhopeful that’s great news …out with the champagne ( or Prosecco as would be here lol) You made me laugh up thread when you said you continually alternated between thinking you’d failed one minute to might just get a Merit the next!! That’s so what happens when you take any sort of exam! Anyway you’ve done better than you expected so that looks like some hard work rewarded!
  25. LinMM
    That’s good but nobody really stood out for me this year at least none of the men did! But can’t remember any particular names like remembered Darrion Sellman in his year. I think this year there were a couple of girls I liked but one didn’t make the final 20 and the other girl did…. I think was from Portugal.
