If any of you are interested to have a look.

Hi! 
I'm going to Move It tomorrow. How are the  facilities of toilets/changing rooms ?

Danceworks and Pineapple also do classes in London.

You're correct in what you know about ENB and RAD. ENB holds classes for external students from beginner to advanced/professional level and RAD runs syllabus classes as well as pointe classes for extra pointe work and body conditioning classes. They also host master classes and workshops from time to time. Imperial is only a short walk away from ENB (approx. 5min) and RAD is around 20-30 min away. (Depends on the traffic)

I'm a student at the RAD BA program, so feel free to PM me if you need any information about the classes they offer.

Dancing10; Yes it was for the ballet focus. I'm not sure whether they will accept the place though. I know they do the same classes in 1st and 2nd year, and it gets more divided in 3rd year.

I know two girls who got a place straight after the first audition. They are not in the associate or foundation program.

Swanprincess: I attended it 3 years ago. I did my advanced 1 exam that spring and was supposed to start advanced 2 after the summer break. I am not in vocational school and I was 17.

Thank you so much, Anna C. I haven't tried Gymnastics yet, so I'll definitely give it a try!

Any experience with where it is possible to by Chacott leotards from? They have got some lovely leotards, but I haven't been able to find them online or in a store. 

Thank you !

I find the Bloch Serenades good. I've got really short toes and a low wrist. It may not look short, but the top part of it softens as soon as you start to wear them.

Thank you so much everyone, I haven't found the thread I'm looking for yet - but I will share it when do!

Hi!

I read a looong chat/discussion about hyperextended knees in ballet, what they are, how they affect they dancing and how to strengthen them. I think I remember it continued on to a 2nd chat because of the length. Problem is; I can't find it again..

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks xx

I recommend you to download the app "Citymapper." It is very convenient and easy to use. It will tell you the easiest way to drive, shortest bus ride, underground etc.

LinMM, I know you can get them from Amazon as Jane said as well as physique.co.uk

Thanks for your reply Jane.

Any experiences with using the 2nd skin girl squares on blisters?

Do you have the possible to send me pictures please?

I'm currently attending the BA (Hons) Ballet Education at RAD. They are still doing the Benesh courses. Feel free to pm me if you want any information

Picturesinthefirelight: Yea The Piano Guys are becoming more popular now. I love their music as well. I think the Cello one would be fine though. It is quite different from the other versions I've heard.

I immediately started to think of Kung Fu Piano: Cello Ascends by The Piano Guys. It is 3,5min and might be too well known though .. You can find it on Spotify

Ok, just let me know when you've checked the size.

I've got two pairs of pointe shoes for sale. 

Russian Pointe Rubin

Rd 35, w4, v2 FS

Grishko Nova

3 1/2 XXX Medium shank

Both are brand new, and never worn. I've glued the inside of the sole on the Grishkos to make the sole harder though. 
15 pounds each pair, I would just like to pass them on to someone who can wear them. 

I'm open to negotiate price as well
