Medical form completion for college - GP charges
dancingmuppet replied to Macmac's topic in Doing Dance
£140 in cash sounds a bit odd. I had to pay last year for my DD but only £19, although the GP didn't actually see my daughter they just filled in the forms. -
Help pointe shoe fittings probably London
dancingmuppet replied to dancingmuppet's topic in Doing Dance
Thanks everyone. We'll definitely try Bloch and freed. She use to wear Bloch European balance but they were only lasting her about 4 wears even with the hard shank as she has high arches but probably worth trying again.- 10 replies

Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise on the best places to go for pointe shoe fittings. My 16 year old dd is starting full time training in September and has extremely wide rather large feet, so we've always struggled with pointe shoes. She currently wears Wear moi size 7.5 XXXX, but these aren't really supporting her anymore. Any advice on makes, fittings etc would be great. Thanks 😊

Northern Ballet Academy Leeds - CAT scheme
dancingmuppet replied to BusyDancemum's topic in Doing Dance
Hi, well done to your dd. Yes they can stay at their local dance school unless doing both gets too much. -
Northern Ballet Academy Leeds - CAT scheme
dancingmuppet replied to BusyDancemum's topic in Doing Dance
Hi Kat, my dd is in her 4th year of CAT and the children aren't allowed to attend both CAT & associates, the reason being it will be too much for them. The CAT hours are reduced at the moment but usually by level 2 they will be doing about 10+ hours a week. Hope that helps. -
Well done to your dd Tinks.

Northern Ballet (Leeds) - associates auditions
dancingmuppet replied to Tinks's topic in Doing Dance
Well done to your daughter, Ballet2008, it's a fantastic scheme, my daughter is so happy there. -
My daughter is also a CAT, and is very happy at Northern. I think they had the younger ones final audition at the weekend just gone, but for the others they join in a class with the existing CATs, so some joined in last week in my daughters class and she said they were told there were some more scheduled. I agree, the best thing for your daughter would be to try and relax and enjoy it and look like she's having fun, they love to see them looking happy. Best of luck to her and fingers crossed.

Northern Ballet (Leeds) Associates and others
dancingmuppet replied to tutusatDawn's topic in Doing Dance
Hi Nala, I've sent you a message. -
Well done to your DD. I've heard really good things about them and it sounds fantastic, although I don't have any personal experience. My dd was going to audition but she's been given a place on the CAT scheme at Northern so we withdrew her application. Good luck in your decisions.

About 4 years ago dd1 was on the reserve list, she was number 8 of 16 which her teacher found out when she rang for feedback. A place didn't come up but the following year she got straight in. My youngest dd has been put on reserve for associates this year, but I'm assuming she's been taken off it as she has been given a CAT place which we've accepted. Good luck to your dd, what I've learnt from the ballet world is to just keep trying!

I'm sorry Sparkly, but like you say there's always next time. My Dd tried for a couple of different schemes last year but got a no for both.
-
Thank you charlie4dancin
-
Had a letter about CATs yesterday, my Dd has a place. Hope you get a good news letter today Sparkly xx
-
Good luck to your DD Sparkly. I'm glad I'm not choosing for the CAT, I thought they were all lovely on Sunday.

Dd loved the recall weekend and is really hoping for a place, we've just found out that she's made the reserve for an associate, does anyone know if it's at all likely that she could still gain a place on the CAT scheme? Which is what she would prefer.
-
Thanks, just wondering on my just turned 11 dd odds! Although I don't know how many they've recalled for the final.
-
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows how many children they take into the first year of the CAT scheme? Thanks

Recommendations for a school in Leeds/West Yorkshire
dancingmuppet replied to Isobit's topic in Doing Dance
Also, Excel dance academy in Castleford, they're on Facebook. Quite a new school, but excellent. -
When my dd was a year 6 JA, we were told that there were 2 or 3 (can't remember exactly) extra places for girls going into year 9 and the same for boys.

My soon to be 10 year old dd would really like a turn board for her birthday but her teacher isn't keen on the idea for her just yet and has suggested a wobble board instead. Has anyone got any suggestions on what would be a good one for dancers? Thanks.
-
That wasn't the case last year at my dd Ja centre. Out of 15, 2 boys and 13 girls, 5 girls got a MA place, 3 girls and both boys got swl and the other 5 girls got a no. One of the girls then went on to get a place off swl.

Congrats on the yes and sorry for the no's. Last year we heard a day later than everyone else who got a yes or no (also Manchester audition) and dd got swl. Sorry to add to the speculation and tension!
