Due to illness I have 1 ticket available for BRB Nutcracker in Birmingham tomorrow, 9th December. It is for the 1pm matinee in the middle circle left. I'm not looking for payment just someone who can use it. Would need to meet at the door.

My daughter-in-law got Mazurka, walting lady and polonaise. We're coming from Nottinghamshire about an hour and a quarter away.

We got a yes! Totally amazed and so happy.

Thank you Beanerina.

Same. I'm beginning to wonder if they only tell people who are successful.

Thanks. I can stop checking so much. The callback over ran and my dd didn't get the information about how long it would take so she's been fretting over it. It's a long shot for her anyway. There looked to be some beautiful dancers from watching them warm up and pirouette. Good luck to your dd.

Does anyone know how long it takes to hear after the call back audition? I'm think that as we haven't heard anything yet she probably didn't get in, but it would be good to have some timeframe as I'm getting asked on an hourly basis.

We are also looking at this. How many rehearsals were there? Is it at least 1 a week or does it vary and increase nearer the performance?

The websites I hate the most are those where you don't have an option to turn everything off. I just back out and refuse to use their services.

I think as well as struggling with the medium the classes are delivered through, be that zoom or video, there is also the frustration of lack of space and suitable floor. It's hard to keep up the motivation if you are dancing in a very restricted space on a less than ideal floor, in our case carpet.

That's a bit worrying as my DD did her intermediate by video. We should be getting the results soon so at least the wait will soon be over.

If you shop at Asda and they have a bakery you can ask for fresh yeast there. I know my local Asda does this as I saw someone asking last week. I'm not sure if Sainsbury's does the same.

I was looking at the softfloor but I'm concerned that you had to put another floor over it for turning. Is it not a good turning surface for pirouettes etc?

Was that the professional one or the cheaper version? I've concluded we need to take the plunge and invest in flooring but we have carpet Was that the professional one or the cheaper version? I've concluded we need to take the plunge and invest in flooring but we have carpet over floor boards. I don't want to spend more than I have to but equally want to be sure it will be useable.
