  1. My dd has to be there tomorrow to start on Monday so all packed and ready to go!!! Yikes it has sneaked up on us so quickly. She feels much better now and smiles constantly. She is so excited to get there. I am feeling a little numb at the moment but I know that we are doing the right thing.

  2. That is great to know DancingDays. I hope that we are in the same position as you next year. Mae989 you are so right, it is about the journey that our dd's take and the fact that they must strive to be the very best that they personally can be.

    HAIRBELLES thank you so much for your lovely post. I will let her know what you have said. How is your dd getting on?

  3. Thank you all for your lovely comments and advice. I have had a little talk with my dd and it seems to have worked for now! I think the reality of it all was just getting to her slightly. Going to White Lodge is her dream and, of course, she just wants everything to go well. She is very much a perfectionist and expects such a lot from herself both in her ballet and academically. I feel a little less worried about her now that I have read that there are other dd's out there feeling the same.

  4. My dd is starting vocational school in September and has been really looking forward to starting there until now. She keeps having mini breakdowns thinking that she is not going to be as good as the other girls who are starting with her. She is usually a confident child so I'm not too sure how to handle the situation. There is every chance that there are going to be dd's who are better than her. Are there any other dd.s out there that are feeling the same?

  5. Hi bellarina

    We live in Teesside and my two dd have been going to a fantastic ballet school called the thompsons school of dance since they were 3 years old. My older dd is on the cat scheme at northern ballet and was a royal ballet junior associate for two years in Leeds. My younger dd is has been a royal ballet junior associate since year 4, an elmhurst associate and a northern ballet associate. She is starting at white lodge in September. The teaching at mrs and miss thompsons is second to non. They have lots of girls in different schemes and associate classes. I can highly recommend them.

  6. I was wondering if any of you knowledge filled wonderful people out there could give me some information regarding mds funding.

    I have one dd who has an mds for her cat scheme and my youngest dd will receive an mds in September for vocational school.

    I have heard that there may be a discount if you have more than one dc with an mds.

    Please could someone enlighten me.

  7. Balletnovice. I don't believe they are. I think that they are different girls. Sounds like there may be a few places that have opened up. Keeping my fingers crossed for those on the reserve list.

     

    Pontytoes. Thanks for the congrats.

  8. Hi pointytoes

    Don't lose heart yet as we have turned down our place at Elmhurst after accepting white lodge (with a sad heart I must add as I loved elmhurst) and I know of at least two other girls who have done the same. There should be some lovely letters sent to some lucky girls soon.

  9. Please could anyone tell me if the uniform (both formal and dance) are included in the mds award or do we have to pay for it ourselves? If so around how much will it all cost. Just panicking a little!!!

  10. My dd has a yes letter from elmhurst. We are so pleased how lucky she has been.

    So sorry for the no letters but as it has been said you get to keep your daughters at home which has to be a silver lining. Xx

  11. Oh my goodness we are in total shock here. My dd has got a YES for white lodge. Congratulations to you and your dd waitingmum and I guess we will get to know each other better very soon!!! Sorry for all of the no's and I am amazed by the resilience and determination your children have. Good luck for elmhurst, tring and Hammond finals. We will be keeping our fingers crossed for you all.
