  1. Can anyone please advise me if there is anywhere in London that sells and fits/customise dream pointe Grishko pointe shoes ?
  2. It could be different now but when my DD auditioned it was 5 days later . All the results were sent out the same day . Seven years ago yesterday we got the good news.Best of luck to your DS shouldn’t be too long now , keep refreshing those e mails xxx
  3. My daughter attended master classes in Prague last year and really enjoyed it . She loved all the classes particularly the PDD, she stayed in the hotel recommended and really enjoyed the social side too . She will be returning this summer by which time she will be 18.
  4. Looking for tickets for 16th July ROH 12pm Royal ballet school performance
  5. I have two tickets for tonight’s performance I can e mail the tickets £30 for both
  6. You can down load the app xx
  7. Could anyone please recommend a pointe similar to Freed studio pro V vamp . My dd’s shoe is currently out of stock . She has narrow bendy feet but not huge arches . She’s based in London so can shop around a bit . Any recommendations would be very welcome , apologies if this post is in the wrong place .
  8. I’m not sure if this is still the case but I’m previous years year 6 junior associates are invited around November time .
  9. Apologies I think what I was trying to say came out wrong too ! Of course it’s hard not to compare and second guess when presented with photos . Even now all these years on it’s hard not to do that . I think posting the journey on social media can add extra pressure for children but then there’s the flip side where it can help stay connected and of course it’s always nice to both share and read about good news. Best of luck for next year , what’s meant to be will be xx
  10. “ Guessing who gets in “ gosh that feels like a bit of a blood sport especially with children so young . I’m glad that once these children are in vocational training their posts are monitored ,would leave them very vulnerable otherwise . When my DD was in year six and preparing for vocational auditions she trained two hours a week plus her junior associate classes . Nearer the time of auditions she increased the ballet slightly and put a hold on the tap and modern just so she didn’t burn out . She was lucky to get a place at WL and in her class there was a real mix of levels of training . However they did all have the necessary ingredients.As a ballet teacher and a ballet mum I would always say it’s a marathon not a sprint . With natural potential taking a student much further than hours of coaching . I’ve never believed in having extra coaching whilst in vocational school other than Easter / summer schools . Young bodies need to rest and grow . Of course everyone takes their own path and decides how best to achieve their goals this is just the recipe I believe has worked for my daughter. She’s now in her final year at the lower school . Good luck next year to your DC, take the pressure of comparison away and try and enjoy the process it’s not for the faint hearted 😂 but it’s a journey we would both take again . Xx
  11. Also look at kings international, excellent training and accepts students going in at year 10 or 11 .
