How painful for them all. I have tears in my eyes just reading his words.

@BillyelliottMy goodness, it doesn’t seem that long ago that he was thinking about auditioning for vocational school! Many congratulations to him.

What a lovely reason!

Sheila is moving from Wisbech to Lincolnshire very soon so it would be worth checking when you book.

Ballet is "pay to play"?

It also showed up on Buzzfeed but someone shot it down in flames. -
@balletbean, I totally understand your anger. I watched the France-Hungary game with disbelief. All those people were bunched together with not a mask in sight. I am beginning to wonder what is the point of all the individual efforts at disease control when so many others flout them with no consideration for others at all. It isn't fair that they can do that yet the responsible efforts of those young dancers is disregarded. I am so sorry.

I’m a grandmaster now - that was quick!

I have been on this forum and the original Ballet Co since 1999. To say that I was a newbie was rather surprising.

Yes, we used Firefox for a while but it went rogue for us too.

I remember Andy Murray being grilled by Sue Barker at Wimbledon the year he lost and it was absolutely obvious that he was devastated. He said if she kept on he was going to cry. My heart went out to him. We get sweat and probably blood from tennis players. We should not demand their tears as well.

Great photo but eww! Snakes horripilate me. -
That’s simply awful news. Rest in peace, Katherine.

I'm reading all this and deeply sympathising with all parents and dcs here. I do wonder if any parents whose starry eyed children go into their first ballet class would allow them to if they knew even half of the experiences our Ballet Co children have suffered. I have noticed over many years that I have been here the injury and burn out rate of dancers. My dds did not go to vocational school as they were on different paths but they knew not to be sick, injured or decide to have any social life rather than miss a dance class. This ethos cannot be right. I wish I knew what the answers were and more, that vocational schools actually cared for their dancers.
