  1. Hello! I am in first year at Northern! If you have any questions message me x Happy to help x
  2. Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone could answer this question for me! If I am on a DaDa at a dance school but if leave before the end of my course, can I apply for a student loan to go to university instead? Thank you
  3. The student decides but if they are far better at jazz than ballet or the other way round they will advise them to do the one they are better at x
  4. At NBS you decide whether you are going to study jazz or classical. However at Hammond you do MT or dance x
  5. Hello all, I was just wondering which ballet schools offer scholarships (not DaDas) or able to apply for student finance. Thank you
  6. Hello I am a student at NBS and when I go home on the train, I walk to oxford road station which takes 5 minutes then catch a train for 5 minutes into Piccadilly station. Your train ticket from Piccadilly covers the cost of the train from Oxford road if you have any questions just message me
  7. As far as I know from my auditions and people I know going to upper schools, they all take upto 18 year olds, but do prefer ballet students to be younger e.g 16 :) I'm going to Northern at 17
  8. * that is just an exercise to do in the meantime, I would defiantly go see a doctor to get it sorted out
  9. Hello I was always find the exercise of doing rises on to Demi pointe on a step and allowing my heels to go as far down as they can. This stretches the Achilles and strengthens
  10. Hello I would just say go with your heart because life's to short to be doing something you don't want to do. And you don't want to live regretting you didn't follow your dreams. But I'm sure you will make the right decision for you xxx
  11. I did my AS levels this year and have been offered places at BTUK with a scholarship and DaDa to northern ballet school, and will be off to northern ballet school in September. All schools take upto 18 year olds but they prefer 16 year olds in ballet.
  12. Hello at all auditions I have done for vocational schools you need to do pointe work. There is always echappes ( in second / 4th / passes ), at only one audition have I had to do pirouettes en pointe. There is usually bourrees from the corner, which gives you the chance to be more expressive. Also there are sometimes posse turns from the corner which sometimes is quick sometimes slower. I hope this helps
  13. Swan princess I believe the closest may be the Wolverhampton grand theatre auditions xxx
  14. Hello ???? I was just wondering what are the RAD interemediate grade boundaries are ? ( e.g how many marks do you need for distinction etc..) ????
  15. Hello, i was practicing my scorpions the other day and I believe i may have pushed my body to far as I think I have pulled a abdominal muscle down my lower right side, as it hurts when I tense my abs and is slightly swollen. Does anyone have any tips to help me as I have my RAD intermediate exam in a few days. Thank you
  16. Hello, I was just wondering what people's opinions are for northern ballet school in Manchester. Thank you
  17. Hello I was just wondering if anyone knows of any ballet/dance schools in the UK that have associates up to 18 year olds ? Thank you
  18. Hello I was just wondering if any one knew of any schools in the UK that do assoicate programmes up to 18 year olds ?? Thank you :)

  19. thank you and yeah they do prefer them, i think it is because A levels may show your dedicated and willing to put alot of time in, will the work compared to BTECs. however there isnt actually loads if work as you'd think as most alevels have coursework with them which is worth about 50% of the grade. I took Dance, drama & theatre studies, maths and communication and culture. I believe in english you have to read 2 books? im not sure but people i know really enjoy it. You have to do essays in most subjects such as dance and drama but they arent that bad, i hated essays before i started but they teach you how to do them and use your time wisely :) xxx
  20. Hello I am at the moment studying 4 AS levels (first year of a levels) at a sixth form/ college. However I am leaving this September to start The School of Ballet theatre uk. I have many friends who go to vocational schools and all have said that in interviews for professional schools, that they are ALWAYS very impresses when you say you do A Levels. I personally study Dance and drama so if you stuck of which one to pick to do a BTEC you could always do both at A level. I really enjoy studying dance a level as their is both theory and practical as you get to learn so much about the body and how it works. Ohh and feeling you dont have any experience in drama is fine as I didnt either but everyone helps you along the way. Having the 4 or 3 subjects is very enjoyable and looks SSSOOO good on an application. But of course its down to what you think is best for you :) if you want to ask me any questions just message me :) orks.
