  1. basically we went through this last year. If you apply before the discount date and are then offered a place you get £25 off the course price. If not offered a place you have obviously not lost anything so worth applying before the closing date but nothing to worry about if you apply after the closing date. There are out-right yes you have a place emails or waiting place emails or no emails then there are residential places but last year DD said there were a few DC's who just came on day places. DD did twice and loved it!
  2. thank you taximom and kcoom75. What lovely experiences your DD's had! Sounds fantastic! Thank you for the info. I am not worried at all now!
  3. thank you pointetoes (love your name by the way)....... i am probably over-thinking the whole thing as she may not get through audition (if she does audition) but all the above re-assures re if she did go for it and get selected so thank you.
  4. Thank you so much Hoglett and pups mum! Really useful information to put my mind at rest on both auditioning without knowing anyone else and the pointe issue!
  5. My DD is considering auditioning for the senior audition age group for the first time but would not know anyone else auditioning. Has anyone had a DC who was in this situation and selected and if so how did they got on when rehearsals started? Were they ok or did most other DC know each other? Also, DD only does about 15mins pointe a week so would she still be considered for a pointe part as I am not sure if her feet would cope but I expect they could tell at casting if her feet looked strong enough or not for a pointe part wouldn't they? (obviously I realise she may not get that far)!
  6. re phone cases - i ordered on ebay a photo phone case. I found a fab photo of my daughter and four of her friends in silly ballet face pose (but gorgeous tutu's) and had photo put onto the phone case!! Really popular. Lots of ooh's and admiration from her friends etc!!!!
  7. Does anyone know if need character shoes or not for the junior s/s?. We have four hours travelling on train so want to cut down on luggage as much as poss?! will swap jazz shoes for foot thongs as above so that useful!
  8. hello balletmum 13. DD went last year for first time when she was 11. Breakdown of classes was: Ballet , jazz , modern, street, contemporary , body conditioning, musical theatre . Think she was group C so this is only group C's breakdown so i am not sure of the other groups. They can bring tap shoes this year it says on the list so I think timetable will be different again this year but hopefully this will be a little bit of help to you. DD had 3 leotards but she only wore two which I think translates in DD's language to (I wore my favourite one all week)! They were just plain black but at the showing of work there were some lovely bright leotards worn as well as mainly black so whatever really! She took convertibles which I had never heard of before this forum but she found those really useful to flip the top off to get into jazz shoes etc.
  9. hgib23 it is hard waiting isn't it?! DD applied first time last year and results came out 9th April. I know of a DD who got offered a place off the waiting list the day before the summer school so miracles do happen! They seem to reply to all applicants thank goodness so none of us should be left wondering. My DD went for the first time last year and loved it and she didn't know anyone. She is so hoping for a place this year so fingers crossed but I know demand for places is way above the places they have available as its become such a popular summer school so she could be one of the disappointed ones sadly. At least we will know soon and good luck to all waiting.
  10. thank you mnemo. not sure i am brave enough to ring. i will think about it tonight. they may mark me down as 'crazed dance mum' that can't even wait for emails to come out. i shall ponder over our predicament tonight with a glass of wine and maybe if i don't check my emails all day tomorrow it will be there when i get in from work!!
  11. Still nothing here about whether DD has junior place. just want to be put out of my misery.......!
  12. ooh thank you all for replies. Hopefully junior email will go out soon and good luck to those above going on the senior course! We are in the same boat then Eowyn! Expecting a 'no' as so many are wanting places on this summer school now and there is a lot of competition for places - still - if a no at least its best to know and anything else is a bonus! Will keep an eye on this page as am starting to feel jittery with nerves!
  13. Anyones DC applied for Junior summer course this year? DD went last year for first time knowing no-one and loved it! I know that its become much more difficult to get offered a place so we have fingers crossed for a place this year. .......I think we should hear soon as last year we were informed a couple of weeks after the closing date last year if I remember correctly but am just curious in case anyone else has a 'yes' and we not heard so could be a 'no'. A waiting list place would be difficult to cope with too from reading on this marvellous forum and I know plenty of people were sitting on the list last year. All very stressful isn't it.
  14. made me chuckle sarahw and fantastic ideas midwifemel. i like the thought of dd crawling round parched from lack of water and she loves a bit of drama so could always do her last dying breath etc!
