    BTEC level 3 dance or academic A levels?

    Hello my daughter chose A levels over BTEC to keep her options open (including A level dance) as well as training pre vocationally alongside on a CAT program. She has auditioned, been offered  and excepted a Dance Conservatoire for BA HONS and also has offers for 3 University's including Edinburgh so has the very best of both worlds just needs the grades and some tough decisions!! Good luck but it certainly shows you don't need to do dance full time to get post 18 dance school offers :wub:

    Missing ballet through illness

    Good Morning ballet co... I can't believe if 3 years since I posted on this thread! I still enjoy following everyone's stories and journeys with interest and do add comments from time to time. After my last post in 2016 my dd was unwell for 6 months unable to attend school or dance missing 3/4 of her yr 10 school year again... She returned for yr 11 both school and dance training @ CAT who supported her as always through the 2 surgeries and reabilition clinics. She worked hard and caught up leaving school with her GCSE's... She has been at 6th form for the rest of the time completing her A levels and attending dance at Dance City recovering for a further surgery at the end of last year only 2 weeks before her auditions started for her post 18 training for a degree in contemporary dance. She now has firm offers for both dance and under graduate with more interviews in the next few weeks... She feels blessed to have some massive choices to make for September but through her own pure determination and hard work she has refused to quit after 7 long years of poor health and she has never gave  up on her dreams!

     

    Life is what we make it guys I'm one very proud Mum and have enjoyed supporting her on the way but maybe not every step!!

    keep dancing and never give up :wub:

    There's a travelodge right by the station in Greenwich that is very handy for Laban, and on the occasion we stayed there it was quite cheap, by London standards.

    Thanks Pups_mum appreciate that I've googled it now to get a feel for it... Seems to be a Premier 

    Inn and a Travelodge in Greenwich!

    It’s fine - typical Travelodge - no frills but clean and comfortable. The Travelodge is more centrally located than the Premier Inn - it’s only a couple of minutes walk into Richmond. The earlier you book the cheaper it is, and it can make quite a big difference!

    Thank you is Laban nearby too do you know?

    Thank you. RAD Grade 8. DD took the exam on the 14th June. The results have arrived for her RAD intermediate taken on the 16th June with the same examiner but no Grade 8 results.  Just a tad frustrating. Heading off to NBS. 🙆‍♀️😊

    Good luck to your dd balletbean hope all goes well

    Dd and I arrived in the Richmond Travelodge a couple of hours ago. Spent £80 in Boots on ‘essentials’ already. Covent Garden dance shops tomorrow 😱.  Sunday, moving into Homestay - and no doubt more shopping - we have lots of lists too! Sorting bank account and doctors on Monday. Rambert on Tuesday!  

    Good luck to your dd BlueLou hope all goes well

    So DD is a 'party guest' and something else that she can't remember - 'they wore a puffy dress and lots of feathers'

    ? ???

     

    Anyway, she's come home very happy. 

     

    Has anybody got experience of Cinderella in Hollywood?

    Well done to all the DC getting a yes... If it was a no it's not the end of the world it just means no right now it could be a yes some other time. After 8 years of following this lovely forum we believe you should never give up on your dream :wub: and many paths lead you to your end goal...
