Yay I have a yes for Elmhurst too

How long we're you on the waiting list before you got a place lildancer? I'm not sure whether to apply for YBSS or wait on the Elmhurst list, I don't want to risk not going to any summer school!

Could someone post some links to useful threads on dance physios? Thanks x

I asked when we would hear by and was told that she's going through applications today and I've been placed on the waiting list. She also said Mr Parker is currently away and will confirm with the choices made when he's back in a few days x

Would someone be able to put a link to the website of the foot stretcher from Spain?

Thanks, do they come by email or letter? x

Does anyone know when Elmhurst SS results are out? Is it normally around the same time as RBS?

I'm hoping to take a ballet class at Pineapple dance studios when I'm in London. I do rad grade 8 and intermediate and advanced 1. Does anyone that has experience know which ballet class would be best for me to take? Or have any recommendations of classes/teachers that they enjoyed there?

Will the RBS upper school results be out during the holidays do you think? Or would they wait until term time?

Where can you get Gamba's? I've never seen them anywhere x

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but can anyone recommend soft blocks for someone with very narrow feet and long tapered toes?

Ok thank you

When somewhere specifies for a 'full-length photograph in practice clothes' does this just mean standing in parallel?

16-19 training with a classical focus. Thanks thequays I'll have a look.

Could someone tell me the names of some less well known vocational ballet schools? The ones I've heard mentioned are Legat, KS Dance and Ballet West. Are there any others?

Ok, just wondering because RBS sent an email but I hadn't heard from Elmhurst and I sent the forms on Mon x

Also will they email to confirm your application once they've received it?

Ok thanks

Does anyone know when we get told if we have a place on the Elmhurst SS?

Thank you pups-mum. I've had private lessons leading up to exams and festivals but I don't have them regularly. I think on top of my other dance lessons the cost would be too much to have them all the time.

This is what I'm worried about. Yes my GCSE's are this June so it's definitely a balancing act of trying to keep up enough dance without falling behind at school which luckily hasn't happened so far.

Thank you, I didn't try northern ballet as my parents are not happy for me to be living on my own at age 16 so somewhere with boarding is preferable.

I am aiming for classical ballet but I know how hard this is; if in a couple of years I have made no progress I'll consider contempory and musical theatre. I've spoken to my teacher once already and she just said you need to be doing as many hours of dance as possible, the thing is where I live I dont think it'll be enough to even try and keep up with vocational school students

I have just received my third no out of the three schools I auditioned for. I started ballet late and so knew I wasnt really ready for full time training and thought of this slightly as a first attempt that I can try again next year. The issue is I don't know how i can possibly try and reach the required standard for next years auditions - local training is very limited (I live in Devon), as are associates for over 16's. Could people suggest some vocational schools (other than the main ones) or training organisations that I could attend for a year before next years auditions? Unfortunately I'm guessing by now I may have missed the deadline for many places Also any suggestions of associates for 16+ would be greatly appreciated! Or any other ideas as to my next step along the journey? I'm feeling very lost with it all!

I'll have a look janiceandellen
