Oh my, this is so cute!!!! It is size adult small?? I would like it please!

Looking for a ticket for Don Q (Osipova cast), ideally around £50 or less. Thanks!

I was part of the inaugural MTB cast in 2012 and it was such a wonderful experience ❤️ I’m sure others with more recent experiences will be able to give more current advice, but I would definitely recommend MTB 🙏🏼

Does anyone know of any open ballet classes in Prague? Ideally Vaganova method, but open to suggestions 😄🩰

Is this ticket still available please?

There definitely used to be a Sansha store in Covent Garden, not sure if it’s still there though

Inga is great, so are Isabella McGuire and Dmitri Gruzdev

What size/age would the Backalast fit?

Please could you send me photos of the remaining items? Thanks!

From what I understand, clicking/snapping hips are not problematic as long as it isn’t painful. Always good to seek professional advice if you’re concerned though

Katy Chambers at Trinity Laban is very good! Also if you’re considering osteopathy, Frances Collier in Richmond is great

Isabella McGuire has classes at The Place on Sundays, and during the week at danceworks/pineapple, she’s excellent

Could I please see photos of them? I’ll PM my email address to you!

The Grishko shop is amazing! Even if you don’t want Grishko pointe shoes, they have a gorgeous range of Dance wear

❤️❤️

As @expatballetmomsaid- it would also be a great opportunity to take classes elsewhere in NYC! “Steps on Broadway” seems to me like the NYC equivalent of Pineapple studio- although I didn’t go there during my time in NYC, I have since taken Elena Kunikova’s online class through Steps and she is brilliant so I would definitely recommend her class if you are in New York

I attended Joffrey NYC in 2015, I was 17 at the time and it was my first time travelling internationally by myself The whole experience was great- the chaperones were very good and accommodation was reasonable (dorm rooms with 2 people per room), it was a pleasant living situation. There was an option to purchase a meal plan, however I decided to cook for myself- cooking facilities were limited but it wasn’t impossible. It was about a 20 minute commute from the dorm to the studio; chaperones accompanied us on the subway. NYC is a fabulous city, I enjoyed it a lot! There were also opportunities to go to Broadway shows and ballets at the main theatres. In terms of dancing, if I remember correctly it was around 4 to 5 hours a day, with ballet, pointe, contemporary, modern, acting. I don’t remember there being any character dance, repertoire or pas de deux, but this might have varied between the groups. There was a good range of styles of ballet offered; some teachers were Balanchine trained whereas others taught Vaganova method. The standard was quite mixed, and classes were large (I’d guess about 30 students per class if I remember rightly) but there was individual attention and I felt that I learnt a lot. It perhaps wasn’t the highest standard nor the most prestigious intensive, and in hindsight it was really quite expensive for what we got, that being said it was a great first experience of studying abroad, and New York is an amazing city. I would recommend the summer intensive! I’m happy to answer any questions from as much as I can remember 😅 * edited to add- there were also classes once a week or so on nutrition and history of ballet, which were interesting and informative!

Jeni, I’ve sent you a PM!

Stalls Circle Standing, D3 Nutcracker Tuesday 10th January 7.30pm, Royal Opera House E-ticket, cost £11. Many thanks

Hi, SuperKitten! Personally I would recommend Amber Doyle’s class at Pineapple (although Saturday morning class tends to be very busy, Sundays are generally calmer!). Josh Barwick also gives a nice class at Pineapple, his class is 3.30-4.30pm on Saturdays

Hi, I am a ballet teacher (previously vocationally trained), happy to read it

Hello Maryy, I have sent you a PM, I offer online classes in the Vaganova method Many thanks, Sophie
