oh yes dancing10 and tulte, i think i know who you mean- they were both lovely, and very talented! it was certainly a wonderful thing for ENB to do for me- those shoes will be cherished forever!!! I was also very lucky to get an absolutely gorgeous pair of Minden pointes, from Dancia in Covent Garden, as a birthday present from my mum!!! and thankyou lildancer xx Edited to correct spelling errors- not quite awake yet

thanks Amber just seen on the RAD website that the target date for the exam results for my region is August 13th!!! eeek glad your dd had a good time as a Cygnet- that dance is lovely x

Thanks Lil- it was Amazing!! and, Tulte, i dont mean to annoy your DD or anything, but.... that was me with the absolutely gorgeous signed shoes- its my birthday today I was so, so happy when the lady gave them to me!!! :) i was the girl in the pink Midland Theatre Ballet t-shirt, with a red ribbon in my hair & black leotard glad everyone enjoyed it- what colour leotards were your dd's in, Dancing10 & Tulte? xxx

aww thanks Just Ballet! i guess the results will come soon enough x

very happy that im attending the Swan Lake workshop tomorrow! so excited because i've always wanted to be a Swan x

aww thanks Charlie4dancin! just keep going over everything in my head, analysing every tiny mistake- its really annoying x

Congratulations to all your very talented dd's! i'm waiting for an exam result too (took my exam July 5th)- the waiting is horrible isnt it!!

yes that sounds like a fab idea- i didnt really feel as if i got to dance much at Wolverhampton- i was mostly at the back for the warmup, then just 2 allegro combinations in small groups (and allegro certainly isnt my strong point, which was annoying!!) Glad your dd had a good time at Sleeping Beauty rehearsals, spannerandpony, its a lovely ballet x

Mr Parker has taught me recently, and I have to say, he's a fabulous teacher, very enthusiastic! Congrats to all dd's who have been accepted to Midlands Associates- you'll have an awesome time! x

What number was your dd, Lil? did she get in? I was number 156! but yes it was certainly a very interesting experience, and at least I know what to expect next time I audition! x

wow, private lessons!! i wish my ballet teacher would do that for me (not asked her about 6th-form auditions yet!!) good luck for your auditions, hope it goes well for you x

oh, thanks taxiforballet! i felt quite intimidated at Wolverhampton because there were over 160 auditionees- i wasnt expecting that many! x

pointytoes22, do you mind if i ask what grade you are please? i'm in a similar situation to you- i've only really taken ballet seriously for about 18 months, going from 1 ballet class a week in early 2011,to 7 by the end of the summer term this year!! i hope to audition vocationally for 2014 entry, but am currently Inter/grade 6, will probably be advanced foundation/ grade 7 by audition time, does this sound about right to you? thanks x

hi everyone, i am new to this forum having been reading your lovely posts for a while!! i auditioned for EYB Wolverhampton but didnt get in (possibly due to a last-minute application which meant I was right at the back!!) Can anyone give me any info about the Oxford auditions please? How many usually audition there? thanks
