Living the Dream

Hello Janet That would be great. PM me your location. I will be having dinner with my DD in between performances, so keep in touch. LTD

I am can't wait to watch both performances tomorrow. LTD

When my DD had an MDS 3 years ago, I had to supply my income only plus any court ordered child maintenance. I didn't have to put my partners income on the form as he is not her biological father. However if you are married, even if it is not your DC's biological father, then you have to include both the household incomes on the form. For a DaDA it is on household income, regardless of whether you are married or not. I hope this makes sense. LTD

If it's sticky, have you tried heating vinegar (any sort will do. I've used malt vinegar in the past), then dabbing it on. The sticky should then come off, otherwise Calamine lotion won't cover the mark completely, but might make it less noticeable. LTD

Hello Anna C I think there is one boy missing off the list, who has been offered a couple of options, but has not made a decision yet. It's been a fantastic year for the boys. The girls too were an amazing year and I'm sure that the one's not mentioned yet, will be publishing good news in the very near future. It's very tough out there to get a job, so ENBS's graduate destinations, are pretty impressive. LTD

I've sent you a PM Janet

I'll send you a PM

Thank you Lildancer96 xx

Two girls are joining ENB.

Here's a review from the summer performances, which has some, but not all of the graduate contracts. http://www.criticaldance.org/2015/07/12/english-national-ballet-school-offer-alternative-wimbledon-talent/

I know all the ENBS contracts and will post a link that is already public for some of them on the ENBS thread, but don't feel I can say about the others until it's public knowledge. LTD

My DD has been staying there for the past 3 years. PM me if you want detailed information, but it's a great place, in a fantastic area and very safe. LTD

Hope you've got your 15% Bloch discount code set up for vocational students. LTD

Completed on behalf of my DD

My DD performed Nutcracker with RBS while she was at WL, in year 7, 8 & 9

Hello Twoballerinas004. Unfortunately the uniform is not included in the MDS at WL. I have a selection of uniform if you're interested. All in excellent condition. PM me for details. LTD

There's an old thread on this topic. Here's the link http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/1322-ballet-school-ranking/?hl=%2Bleague+%2Btable#entry16054 Hope this answers your questions. LTD

I bought my DD an annual premium travel insurance from the Post Office online. It has also covered her for her auditions abroad too. Hope this helps. LTD

Thank you to John Ross too, for sharing. LTD

Thank you Dave. These are gorgeous, especially as my DD is one of the Snowflakes in your pictures. If I want to order a copy, please can you PM me your details. LTD

My DD had Grishko's for one term at WL in year 9, until she was told they were not approved. She then tried Bloch TMT axis and has worn them ever since. She's now in her graduate year. They don't suit everyone. She has very strong feet and doesn't even have to heat them up to mould them. Maybe worth a try. LTD

Travelodge in Fulham is within 10 minutes walk to ENBS.

I hope this helps. I've just renewed my DD's Oyster photo card online and it asked for the same information. I cancelled this application and re-applied but put her school address on it. Then school gave her a letter which the Post Office accepted as proof. Hope this makes the application easier. LTD
