Balletmum55 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I had to let RBS know today that my dd can’t attend the week 4 summer school anymore as my husband has unwittingly booked us a surprise holiday FOR THE SAME WEEK 😫 !!! It only came to light when I gave him the bill to pay 😳 Luckily for my dd, she already did the spring intensive this year so she took it pretty well xxx hopefully a lovely year 7 dd who applied for week 4 will get a happy email soon, hope it’s someone on the forum xxxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet he's popular. I can just imagine what either of my two would have said to that. (Ds's equivalent is the MT workshop including private lesson with Kerry Ellis he's booked onto this year.) I honestly think they would have refused to come. Ds has already said he doesn't want to come on holiday this year becasue of various workshops/summer schools! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum55 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Ha ha pictures! Popular yes, that’s a word 😂 🙈 Ahh bless him, glad he’s enjoying it so much, he really seems to have found his passion x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmummy28 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 We have recently received the information pack for RB summer school and it states that all girls must be able to do their own hair during the course. My dd is only 9 and nowhere near capable of producing a bun to RBS standards. Is it really the case that the younger ones are expected to do their own hair or are there actually boarding staff there that are willing to help in the mornings? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The girls will all help each other I’m sure - DD said that at the summer schools she attended everyone was willing to help. It’s easier to help someone else rather than doing your own bun I think. Older students may also be willing to lend a hand and so may housemothers but obviously if your DD can practise doing the best she can with her own hair - and her friends’ hair - she will feel more confident.

Dancing unicorn Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Please don’t worry about your dd not being able to do her own hair. By the end of the week I’m sure she will have got quite proficient at it! They really don’t have to have ‘the perfect bun’ for class. As others have said the older ones help and advise but I’m sure your dd will want to do her own and be like the big girls! I know my then little dd aged just 10 wanted to do everything herself!! She’ll have s fabulous time! Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 We've had discussions about hair before. Here's an earlier thread: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressedbeyondbelief Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Upper school place week 1 and 2 AW have had to turn down our place to the Covent Garden Upper Summer School (week 1 and 2 ). In the end we simply couldn't finance it. Somebody on the waiting list might get a nice surprise soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahitaly Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi all, So just going in to panic mode now it has hit July Can l ask do they need 2 leotards a day with sweating or is it not that bad, she is only 10? Is there anything else l need to bring that they don't mention, l already have her a mirror to do her hair. Thanks in advance x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) One leotard a day at that age is plenty I would say at age 10. May be 2 for last day. One for practice and then one for showing of work. How exciting, I remember my dd doing WL SS! She absolutely loved it. What an experience for all our little dancers. Have a fab time everyone 🌺💐🍀 Edited July 4, 2018 by Dancing unicorn Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dd likes nice cotton fabric and a camisole style, as it can get hot in England at this time of year especially in the south of England. We are in the north, so it’s a few degrees cooler, it can feel warm from my dd although it might not if you are used to the warmer climates of Italy !!😄 My dd has asked for a skirt too, not something she usually wears, but they are popular at summer schools she must believe. Warm up boots as they move from class to class or a pair of easily slip on shoes. They can take pocket money which is handed in in cash on the first day, my dd took £10. Food is lovely and they had a barbecue last time my dd went and she had lots of lovely snacks too. She also took a refillable water bottle for refilling at water fountains in between class. It’s a wonderful experience, White Lodge is stunning and the grounds are beautiful. Any more questions please feel free to DM me X Hi Just thinking now, when we drop her off, how do we get back to the station, is it a 55 minute walk? Do we have to call a taxi ?

Do we have to call a taxi ? Hi Sarahitaly Its quite a long walk - especially it you have luggage - I would google a local taxi firm and call a taxi to pick you up. Although Richmond Park is a beautiful place for a walk if you enjoy walking 💕 I walked once to Mortlake station it didn’t take long about 25 minutes and it was lovely - I think Richmond station maybe further. Is your dd excited? Edited July 22, 2018 by Snowflake Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmummy28 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 For those that have attended RB summer school before can you tell me if they have classes on the first day? I am unsure if I should arrive with dd in her ballet kit tomorrow or normal clothes? She is getting very excited now although I am a nervous wreck!!

Foreverdrivingtodance Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 We have not heard anything. In my DD’s group they spoke to girls that they were interested in on the last day of the course and they were offered places on next years course.
