Well done to your DD @HowMuch! x

Results are out! My DD got a yes 😃 Fingers crossed for all Sparkly x

Hi Picturesinthefirelight, Did your dd enjoy Bird? My dd is doing it this summer for a week, she’s 14. We’re hoping it will help her decide whether she wants to pursue dance as a career or go down the academic route when she’s older. She loves ballet but is more about her modern work these days.

Hi everyone, For those who wear Capezio Hanami canvas split soles - what is the sizing like please? My 9 year old is a 1.5 in school shoes so thought I’d get her a 2.5? She likes them snug to make her feet look nicer. Thanks

@BusyDancemum ah that’s great, congratulations x

Well done to your DD and her friend! Was this for CAT or associates? x

No - has anyone else? x

Was anyone at the Open Day today? I was there - thought it was fabulous! Brilliant teaching. Sparkly x

My DD goes to Renaissance and loves it, she’s 13 and in her second year. Like Pixiewoo said there seems to be lots of older ones who attend including a few I recognise from local dance championships and festivals as being very talented dancers. My DD has really benefited from the body conditioning especially - they are worked quite hard but her stamina and strength have really improved and her leaps and jumps are very powerful now. I would definitely recommend it. It works out roughly at £200 per term. Sparkly x

My DD is also 13 and has developed quite suddenly. I do worry about her diet as she eats a lot of sweets that her friends at school seem to have an endless supply of (she doesn’t have the money on her to buy them herself). She’s very athletic but I can see she will need guidance on making healthy choices. Its a difficult conversation to have as it’s a very sensitive subject but very relevant nonetheless.

Fab news @Tinks! x

Me too, my DD got reserve list x

No news here either!

Well done to your DD @Ballet2008 Thought we’d have heard about associates by now. My little DD must ask me about 20 times a day if I’ve got an email yet! x

I’ve just heard that a friends daughter has got into the CAT scheme. She’s currently year 6 and already an associate. Hopefully we’ll hear tomorrow!
