  1. Congratulations Arucaria , so happy to read that your hard work and tenacity has been rewarded. Good luck with fund raising , maybe start by researching charitable trusts that might be able to support you.

  3. I would say, please don't worry adjust work hard towards your next goal. When you audition for Upper School, the panel are interested in seeing you dance, definitely not what your past or even latest grade was. Goodluck with everything

  10. If you are Hampshire South Coast I can recommend someone - send me a PM if I can help
  11. Have you looked at Cinevox in Geneva? It advertises itself as a bridge between school and professional company .... good luck with everything
  12. spiraboo ... if you would like medium size I have some unworn
  13. Arucaria - wishing you all the best - have you considered The Academy of Balletic Arts - refreshingly different training
  14. The life she wants ... BRAVO!!
  15. Claudia Dean trained at RBS from the age of 15 -17 1/2 before entering into the RB Company. I believe that her decision to leave was in no way associated with her position in the company. She took the brave step, after the realisation that company life was not the life she wanted, of leaving and returning to her native Australia. She has found her calling in life in training the next generation dancers - she is generous with her time and experience in encouraging these young girls. I for one find her a breath of fresh air and would like to applaud her.
  16. Signed and shared .Sending my heart felt condolences ... so many of our young people being short changed when they need help, I'm so sorry that Oliver was failed by a system that is not fit for purpose where mental health is concerned.
  17. This was contracts from original 1st years , more were gained for those that joined in 2nd and 3rd year, so as a whole the graduates were successful. - my post was to indicate , in answer to The original post , that , in my experience there are quite a high percentage that leave after experiencing difficulties after starting at 16. The question that lingers is, had appropriate support been available , could/would they have overcome their difficulties and achieved their undeniable potential. As they say in The Hunger games - ā€œmay the odds be ever in Your favourā€ ...
  18. Popping in and felt some figures might be helpful . Of the original cohort of 14 girls in my daughters year, 4 left (before finishing the course) with health challenges . Others left due to being assessed out or choosing a new path ... 1 gained a contract before starting 3rd year . Only 5 completed the 3 years and graduated, 4 gaining a Company contract in Europe and the other a part time contract .Grim results given the time , effort, talent and not to mention money . Of course this is only 1 year in isolation and maybe not indicative of other year groups at the same school or elsewhere. I'm not sure that this will help with calculating the odds, but hopefully indicates that it is best to take a keen interest in your DCs welfare and follow up if anything appears to be out of place.
  19. Thanks Cara - Iā€™m so sad that I will never see my daughter dance again however that pales Into insignificance when I dare to think that I might see and enjoy her being happy and healthy xxx
  20. Wishing your dd a fabulous time at uni and beyond xxx
  21. On a very last note - Iā€™m staying here (for the ticket news ;)) if anyone needs a friendly shoulder - somewhere to offload without judgement - I am here - do feel free to send me a pm - I really have walked in your shoes . Best wishes Kat
