  1. Thank you. Whilst I do order online I also like to get DD’s pointe shoes checked every now and then as her feet change, so nice to know the nearest one is good for this.
  2. Hi all. We are moving and will be near Tunbridge Wells from next year so looking for a new dance shop in the area. Has anyone experience with Dancing Boutique? Or any other recommnedations around this area? Can I also ask how far other parents travel for a good dance shop? (Having a discussion with DH about this!!) Thank you!
  3. I have 2 medium aubergine leotards as per Tring CBA uniform for sale. Straps are self sew when you buy new so there is some room for adjustment from where I’ve sewn them. My daughter is a size 6 in clothes and felt these were the best fit for her. Only looking for £5 for the pair (useful to have a spare!) plus £1 towards postage. Can send photo if required.
  4. We applied for the NUS extra card, you have to pay but i think it was only £30 for the 3 years and gives lots of discounts - was very easy and card came within a few days (she's 16 and not 17 until well after Christmas). You can also have a 16+ oyster zip card for 1/2 price travel, valid until you are 18. My DD starting Laines, not in London so can't get free travel. Sadly we lose child benefit as it's a level 6 course so considered higher education.
  5. As DD is 16 is would be the diploma, but do they have to do a solo, sing?? Their website gives limited information on this, and fees which is bizarre... how can you apply to a course if you don't know how much it will cost?!
  6. Does anyone know what the fees at Urdang are for the diploma course and what you need to do at audition (solos, sing, etc)? I can't find anything on the website about either. Thanks
  7. Does anyone know how many there are likely to be in each group at the sixth form funding finals? And how many groups?
  8. From memory there seem to be anything from 5-10 - it varies year to year depending on how many students with MDS' are leaving the school. A couple of years ago there were 7 in total to cover everyone auditioning from yr7 up to sixth form entry.
  9. Anyone heard from fridays Rambert audition? They said Tuesday but were still waiting...
  10. From our experience, Tring & Rambert require a solo and so do the more all round/MT schools like Laines (typically all different lengths, some 1 minute some 1 min 30). Royal, enb, Elmhurst & central don't. Not sure about the others... sure someone else can add to the list. We have used a cut down version of a festival solo done by dd's teacher but know others that have choreographed their own. I think as long as it shows you at your best it doesn't matter who choreographs it.
  11. Wow, that's a lot of finals... how many do they take in each year? Sorry, don't know much about central...
  12. My dd has her prelim for central on Saturday morning this week... just wondered if anyone has finals on Saturday and if so what time their finals start? (Trying to figure out logistics if she gets through)
  13. Anyone else auditioning at Rambert tomorrow? Feel like we are so late auditioning.. hopefully some places left!!
