aussie ballet mum

That's such a shame your dds had that experience.

I am sure the teachers would appreciate the feedback.

Lema.

Can you update us on how things are now?

Just interested.

Hi.

Apart from discussing it with your teacher.

Have you a dance physio?

Have you changed pointe shoes to a different style?

I would suggest feet work. Doming and pointing on a semi blown up soft medicine ball.

Calf stretches in parallel.

These are techniques we have learnt though my dd, as she has problems with her calves.

I would really suggest seeing a physio and going back and seeing the fitter. Explaining the issue.

Hope that helps.

We'd consider 3 weeks next year. It's a lovely summer school.

It's one of our favourite summer schools.

Inspirational teachers. Just so Caring.

So very sad.

We were fortunate to see him perform late last year.

It was quite a shock to us all.

RIP Jonathan

We all rather enjoyed Saturday evening.

My DD is doing Opes again. She loved it last year. 

We are looking for another Summer school though, the week before opes commences

we approached this summer school last year, we heard nothing from them..

Would be interested if they have any contact with anyone.

Can the quilting be tightened. Or add a hoop.

Wow. And it starts again. Well be coming from australa to attend summer schools. Dd loved it last year.

Wow. You've come along way in a short time with all these discoveries.

Wher to next

Yes Jacqueline. I woud have to agree with your cousins. Us Aussies travel long distances.

We used to do 10 -12hr drives to brisbane. And think nothing of it.

I hope your trip to London goes well.

We have Oyster cards we purchased in 2007. We only use thm when we travel to the uk. But we keep topping them up and it's pretty easy to top them up. There may however be quite a queue.

Have a great time.

Dropofsun How are you feeling today. ??

One thing that may help is a warm epson salt bath. It helps remove the lactic acid build up. Don't soak for more than 10 mins.

We had a friend from New Zealand who made it to the semis.

We had a similar set of circumstances.

Bending forward was quite an issue.

After much treatment abound various health professionals we stumbled across a vertigo physiotherapist.

He gave her exercises and now she's almost back to normal.

These exercises were using the eyes to strengthen muscles in the core of the neck.

Rather interesting. It might be worth a try.

.

Hope all goes well. There pretty easy to top up.

We had old ones from 2008 and they still worked and had credit on them. Oh we are from Australia. So we hadn't used them since that time.

Amazing dancers.

Very passionate teachers.

My dd adored there classes at OPES.

Wishing them all the very best.

My dd had an amazing time. She learnt so much.

She Loved the residential. And the care the teacher took with the students was very special.

The houseparents where very helpful.

Dd thought I was one of the best summer schools she's ever been too.

She attended week 1 but would have dearly loved to do week 2. ( maybe next year).

She's still talking about

I have nothing further to add. Everyone has said everything I was thinking and more.

But.

How are you feeling about things now?

Keep us up to date with your thoughts. And progress along the way.

Good luck.

I would totall have to agree with Klaris here

Your school of choice is exactly where she is meant to be. Don't doubt. Just believe. just MHO

Just go really gently.

It's best to be safe than sorry.

Pleased there feeling better.

Look at this blog. It might help.
