    I thought it might be but then wondered why you couldn't audition the following year .

    Which school is it if you don't mind me asking?

    Hi Janet , yes it iis.. The heading to search under is .. Find benefits and grants , then it is just a case of filtering the ones that apply .

    Does anyone have one of these they are willing to sell ... Doesn't seem to be available anymore on the ISTD site .

    Hi ... Not sure if anyone has suggested turn2us . It is a charity search there are hundreds of charities and benefactors you can search through some will be specific for your area and circumstances , some quite random if you have the surname McDonald or are descended from certain clans. Out of the hundreds I found around 4 that fit the criteria for my dd although I had no cause to apply in the end .I have heard of one young man who was funded for a course in our area although not to the tune of £90,000. As I am sure you know it is a massive undertaking trying to raise such a large amount and another factor to take into consideration is , that if your dd felt it wasn't what she wanted in the end the money would have to be paid back.

    Your post made me smile sarahw.On my tour around they said their on site boarding would be completed by the time my Dd would be in yr9 that was 9 years ago . My dds had a wonderful time at Hampton Lodge, a home from home ,and still miss it now especially my youngest.

    Hi Check out David Plumton's CDs . He has an array of CDs you can listen to snippets of the tracks on YouTube . Dance teacher can listen before you buy. When my dd did festivals it was always the teacher that supplied the music. Good luck finding something.

    Well that's me told !!!!

    I was just wondering for the future . . DD hasn't got past the trying to get accepted for Upper School yet never mind a company. 315 euros is quite a lot though plus travel and hotels plus professional video ,which I presume you would need regardless . The cost never seems to let up whatever the stage the dancer is at .

    It's just a shame that there isn't the one week option for the older ones. £1,550 (breakfast only) plus travel and probably a nights stay for myself is a lot however it's broken down ...... I could take the whole family away for that price , that said I'll probably still apply for dd , 5th time lucky maybe

    At the risk of sounding completely ignorant , is it usual to be charged a fee when app,ting for a company or is it because this is a competition ?
  15. HAIRBELLES
    Hi I had an email a couple of days ago asking me a question so it looks like they might be getting through them.

    I'm not sure if this link will work ....I came across this rather controversial ballet blog whilst looking for something else: it touches on some of the comments in this thread about other sports . http://haglundsheel.typepad.com/haglunds_heel/

    Royal Ballet School

    Hi Squeaky Your dd has done really well to gain an MA place as these are few and far between , which indicates at the moment she must have the attributes and potential for classical ballet. A fantastic alternative to vocational school is the CAT scheme at Northern Ballet in Leeds. MDS funded and the majority of the students 16+ gain places at top schools.

    My cousins dd cannot wait for this film to come out , she was picked for the primary steps programme without ever having had a ballet lesson, she absolutely loves ballet now. I cannot wait until Xmas to treat her to The Nutcracker with my dd .

    How lovely , was this from an associate programme Pointypurtoes? Thanks Amos73 we live in hope lol .

    4 years for my DD Peanut68 !!!! ...... I'm slightly confused which weeks to apply for this year as the first 2 weeks are offering a slightly different programme , I think she might be better on the first two weeks CG if she was lucky enough to gain a place ...... I'm going to ask her Associate teacher .... Probably overthinking matters as usual ! Fingers crossed for your DD know how frustrating WL can be .
  24. HAIRBELLES
    Ive heard of quite a few getting really good cruise ship contracts .... Such a good option if finances are tight .
