  1. Funny reading all this as I was in the same waiting position last year. This was compounded by dd being placed on the reserve list and not knowing until 2nd week of May of her acceptance. Good luck everyone and keep calm xx
  2. I don't think there are any Kiwis there at the moment but definitely a few Aussies. Dd is a first year and is extremely happy there. Here are no scholarships as such for internationals, but a small bursary can be applied for at some stage.

    Scoliosis

    Dd has a double scoliosis so in the end her spine is almost straight the two curves almost cancel each other out (if you follow). The only time it gave her problems was during the growing years so we had a great osteo/kineasiologist that looked after her, she had been to a specialist as well who said keep dancing! The top curve is noticeable so sure she doesn't have a perfect looking back but no-one ie schools have ever commented that it will be a hindrance to her career. Like people have said look at the stars of e NYCB.
  4. Lala I have emailed ith Rambert and they will have someone to help the 'out of towners' apply for oyster/bank accounts on registration day. I have just instructed dd to get regular oyster to use till she gets the free one, and not to travel too much till she gets it.
  5. A very emotional time. I know you English will look after my little Aussie girl, who is flying off on her own on Friday. Thanks to the balletcoforum members who have offered to look out for her if needed.

    Practice tutus

    Dd has a Bloch one. As the layers don't come stitched together you will need to do this and dd needs to be in it as you do it. Took a while but you have a captive audience for a great conversation. How much was the Grishko one if you don't mind me asking?

    Rambert auditions

    No, haven't heard anything. I don't think clothing is an issue we need to concern ourselves with, as apparently there are no uniform requirements - just neat and tidy gear suitable for the appropriate class.
  8. Does anyone know how many are in the graduating year?
  9. Thank you from my dd and I too! I came across this by googling a question and I am so grateful to all here.

    Rambert auditions

    You never know Sballerina... And thank you everyone for your wishes. She feels truly lucky and can't wait to get there. I feel dd will be in very good hands having been to the school with her on audition day and met some of the staff.
  12. Dd has just been accepted off the reserve list for Rambert, she couldn't be happier. Good luck to all those waiting now you can see it does happen.

    Finally the email we have been waiting for!!!! Dd has been accepted!!! Now to find the £17000 to pay for it!
  14. Having just seen Wayne McGregors Chroma by the Aussie Ballet I would love to dance the female lead with AB's principal Adam Bull
  15. Good luck for your future Danseur ! I had a male friend who took his first dance class at 19, he was dragged along to a class by his uni friends though having done some gymnastics as a young child no other dance experience. He was hooked, dropped out of his degree and danced and danced. Luckily a top teacher in his area spotted his potential, passion and determination and took him under his wing. He had an amazing career dancing with a top classical company and making it into his dream contemporary company a top UK one. His teacher always told him concentrate on your classical first for your technique and strength the rest will follow at the right time.
