  2. Came across this article in another thread elsewhere in the forum, seemed apt to share it on doing dance as  if you read through it,  gives two  examples of how different countries train their young dancers.

    Apologies to the mods if we aren't meant to double post links but wasn't sure how to divert people onto the original thread! :unsure:

    There were some 'open' auditions  for this over the summer.  Some of my daughter's friends attended, I am sure they will feel much better knowing they were beaten to it by a Principle of RB ;)  I wish her well and look forward to seeing the film!

  4.  In certain countries competitions are the norm from an early age and the confidence this gives shines through.  

    My dd was fortunate to do the Royal Covent Garden SS last year, when sitting with some of the international students, they were discussing all the different competitions they were entering and were quite incredulous when my dd replied....none!   One of the girls did go on to do rather well in the Genee 2016.  We also have a couple of names to look out for in future Prix de Lausannes -  they were starting their training in anticipation of applying for 2018/19.  It was quite an eye opening conversation albeit rather depressing!! :huh:

  5. Wow! That's a huge number of applicants, and each one submitted 5 photographs, that is a lot of pics to look at, think it will take Mr Annear sometime!! Good luck to everyone, any dc that gets a place has done very well indeed!!

  6. Never done a festival so this is more of an anecdote.... when my dd was younger, she needed a solo for an audition and her then teacher choreographed a lovely little ballet dance to some piece of music he had come across, 'it's from some film apparently' he said with a dismissive wave of his hand......it was the piano version of the Harry Potter theme tune lol! :D Still can't listen to it without his voice in my head bellowing out the steps!  What I can add that might be useful, is how different it sounded when only played by the piano, perhaps a different arrangement of your favourite piece might work? Good luck with it all!

  7. My dd's were very lucky to be given the opportunity to perform when JA/MA's. On each occasion, assistance was given with travel expenses and parents were invited to watch the pre gen rehearsal (for free. The travel expenses were paid by the company and not the RBS. Unsure from your post if your dd is Royal associate but hopefully other schemes may offer similar 'perks'when asking their associates to perform. Hope you can manage to do it, good luck.
