    My Dd was one of them! She will be thrilled to hear how you enjoyed her and her classmate's performance. And yes it has been an amazing opportunity for them.

    Wow.

    I saw Shiori performing the sylph at Milton Keynes in October (my DC is one of the children performing with ENB) and she was wonderful, particularly in the second act, so moving.

    Interesting read. I'm glad to hear the boy is now happy and found a new place to train. He doesn't name the school but I thought there seemed to be some rather obvious hints as to where it might be.

    Yes that was exactly what dd enjoyed about it - she is a full time vocational student so every day is focussed on technique. The course was a lovely complement to that.

    Dance Forward is great. DD did their summer course and is signed up for Easter. Lots of repertoire with Principals from RB - (Sarah Lamb, Yasmine Naghdi, Frederico Bonelli were all teaching the course in August this year)

    I work round the corner from there so trust me, I know all about overpriced hipster coffee ...

    My 'like' was for Dd's Strictly Dancing, not for her injury, which sounds very painful. In terms of tomorrow I think if she says in morning it is sore and affecting how she moves I think totally reasonable to mention she was injured. Otherwise maybe just dose with ibuprofen and hope that takes edge off any residual niggling pain? And good luck to mini pv! Pom poms are ready and waiting.

    I believe this happens quite often and know of students at Royal upper and Elmhurst upper who didn't get into their lower schools.

    Dancer123 - will PM you.

    I think only you and your DD can decide if it is worth carrying on. I do know of people who have had nos that in future were yeses. I also know of people who have had yeses at one point (JAs) that turned to nos at MAs. One year you might get a no, the next a yes. It does happen. But also it happens the other way round. Personally I think it is worth auditioning again if you are serious about wanting to dance vocationally and professionally, regardless of the result, as the auditions in themselves are always good experience. My DD is at full time vocational school. She didn't get further than swl for royal. It doesn't mean she can't continue with her aim to dance professionally eventually. N.B. Nothing is guaranteed in the world of ballet. Even if a student gets a place at white lodge they know that their yes that year might turn into a future 'no', as staying there is dependent on passing assessment in certain years.

    Congratulations sunrise81. My DD got SWL for London in year 6 and for MAs but unfortunately did not get a place from the wait list. I have no idea how long the list is, and they don't give that info out, as I have asked! Fingers crossed someone gives up a place for your DD.

    Best answer ever???

    Agree with Harwel's very sensible comments. i would be wary of taking these comments as gospel. Also extreme flexibility is not the be all and end all in dance. It is dance after all. A good base line of flexibility can always be worked on and improved with exercises and stretching performed in a safe manner and under experienced instruction. Extreme stretches done when muscles are not warmed up and held for longer than 30 seconds can cause real damage.

    Was she on the reserve lis or just a no? You wouldn't be expecting that call would you if so? It is interesting they seem to have more MDS still to give out. Last year it was very different. I wonder why?
  23. amos73
    Aha! So are they likely to advertise this new audition or is it just for people in the know??
  24. amos73
    Interesting Hairbelles - is that what they are doing this year?
  25. amos73
    I know, I've gone through the link now and accepted, hope it didn't mean we hadn't accepted before! Oh well ... Have seen a post on FB just now of another girl who has got place off the waiting list. It does happen.
