The majority of candidates from UK schools are 2nd/3rd years

The South African dancers are very impressive. Very strong and very confident with great technique, one in particular,at just 15 years old, is a joy to watch … have fun tonight.

It was for me

Thank you to all who rooted for my DD , what a great experience. Unfortunately nerves got the better of her but she did manage to show glimpses of the lovely dancer that she is. Lots of valuable learnings. We do appreciate your support . There are some fabulous dancers in the final … if you are going to watch have a wonderful evening.

sorry had missed the original thread so have deleted duplicate info xx

My DD was non vocational and is just starting 2nd year at US … totally possible, good luck to your DD

I am guessing there might be returns as the competition progresses … well that's what i'm hoping

Glad he is feeling better sblick … inoculations worry me - even tho I know they are necessary

that sounds horrible - how long did that last for sblick?

hope your DD feeling better soon Katymac - what sort of reaction has she had and are bad reactions common?

What a blow for NYB and all the children ….. I hope that another venue can be found but I'm sure at this late stage that won't be easy.

Great review anondancer_15, I'm glad that you got lots from the programme and had such a good time.

What fantastic news Katymac - I hope that she has a wonderful 1st year x

She sounds so sad … if she were my daughter I'd be wanting her to seek happiness somewhere else. Such a shame after her dedication and passion for Russia.

My advice would be to be led by your daughter - maybe this year it just doesn't feel right for her. With a good exam result and continued praise she might feel differently next year and want to apply. If she applies against her better judgement and then doesn't get the result she wants she might never want to try again. All you can do as a parent is offer encouragement - good or bad (in your eyes) let her make her own decisions and trust her judgement . When the time is right she will be ready.

any chance that you can share the details tulip?

Hi SBS I'm sure as a senior associate your daughter would be capable anywhere - congratulations on her places to Tring and don't worry many non vocational girls at ybss
