I was thinking more women but interested to know both if anyone knows/has experienced this, thanks

Thanks Aileen, what height is considered too small in the UK out of interest?

Regatta, So is 5ft 4 too small?

Tring balletaims.

Received our MDS form last week, very detailed!

So glad she enjoyed Amos and glad we got the chance to meet earlier in the year! We have ours in a few weeks, we've had no agenda as such but dd is very excited! Look forward to keeping in touch even though they will be at different schools x

Success to everyone means different things, it depends what personal goals you have. I think lots of useful advice has been offered and would like to wish the dd lots of happy times ahead in whatever she chooses to do.

What about emailing the 2 schools she went to this year, it wouldnt do any harm to ask for feedback or positions on reserves, they can only say no. Just a thought.

Have you been able to get any feedback from auditions or find out positions on reserve lists? Many people say there is still time and places could come available. Just today I informed one associate scheme that my dd wouldn't be returning so hopefully someone will get a nice email. What does the child wish to do, does she know?

I can relate to how this parent/ child perhaps feels, my dd felt if it didn't happen this year it simply wasn't going to. It's always hard when you have you heart so set on things. I wouldn't give up and if the child wants it so much there is still plenty of time and US auditions still to go. Most of the time things have a way of working out.

Lema, I'm happy to talk if you want to pm me. My dd is current year 8 x

Anyone have this dvd for sale please?

Good luck to you all waiting, I'm glad its all done for us now! Keeping my fingers crossed for you all!

Yes vonrothbart she is very lucky that she is on 2 excellent associate programmes and has been offered a third this year. However, the dream right now is to dance full time.

Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to reply, I defintely feel more reassured!!! I was hoping to hear that things may have changed and it seems they have. Do the mds continue into 6th form if you are already on one? Thank you balletcoforum friends x

Thank you for sharing, my dd is very much excited about the next chapter in her life. She is after the classical route and I am keen to see she is given excellent training. Of course I understand there are no guarantees. Was it sixth form they were referring to previously when they weren't given the choices they were expecting and grouped according to ability? If anyone wants to pm me Im happy to hear from you.

Ok back to my original question, does anyone have any recent experiences that they are willing to share re the dance course? Surely everyone can find positive and negative things to find about all schools. Yes I agree it is not purely a ballet school but I believe they have had a great deal of success over the last few years . Many thanks

Hi Anna, I'm not sure the thread is locked anymore as I am able to read it. Since people have made these comments all I would like is some more up to date experiences as I know things can change over a few years. People do not have to name themselves, I am just interested to know if people feel differently now? Thanks

After reading an old thread I have to say I feel a little disheartened by some of the comments and would appreciate any more up to date experiences please. Many thanks.

Hi there, is your dd at the school still? How much are you selling the blazer and school uniform things for please? Thank you x

Is it just the boys letters today?

Thinking of you jennyboydance, it's just so hard isn't it! I'm so nervous now even though we are expecting a no at our end! Hope your ds is ok.

Surely there may be some girls and boys there that had Wl offers and may also get elmhurst offers. So surely elmhurst will be expecting some to say no and want to make offers to others. Or will they just wait till after the Easter hols now and shut down completely? I wondered if there may be some staff still there?

Yes jenny, I think we are all waiting for you to tell us whether the postman has been!

Thank you amos73, threeleftfeet, happymum, jennyboydance, zoo zoo , lema, sarahw and ballet4boys. Now to work out the mds and the cost still! X
