    We went yesterday to the boys day hence he wants to try for year 10 there but he's not ready yet he needs a local school to get him at the right level. He's had an injury and had the summer off with as he was starting to get picked on at school and wanted time to decide if really wanted it and is carrying to much weight currently. My experience so far with associate programmes has been not getting through the audition process. It's so hard to find the right path and encourage them equally as managing the dream versus reality. 😔

    My DS had been doing ballet for 4 years and wants to be a professional dancer and for us vocational training at year 7 wasn't an option he's now in year 8 were thinking of auditioning for a year 10 place or sixth form place. His current dance school has been great but has little experience with boys they are heavily focussed on girls and in particular at his age and grade the girls going on Pointe so they now have extra lessons and he's now down to 3 hours a week. How many hours should they be training at this age? How do I find somewhere to help him progress and push him to his his full potential?? Any tips or recommendations for schools in the East Midlands greatly received.

    I am so frustrated as a mum of a boy who dances try finding gifts for boys there is literally nothing even if you find something it usually has a female dancer on it. There are no clothes for boys even RAD only had 1 t-shirt and that's out of stock. I know there are so many more girls that dance but that's changing boys dance is really growing. There is a boys range in the US but the postage is ridiculous I'm now considering designing my own range!!

    I bought 1 for my son in sports direct it's a nodule 1 he learnt to use 1 at his summer school and it's really helped him with stretching and it's the only thing that gets him stretching independently at home!

    My DS went to NGDANCE Summer Intensive in Nottingham it was run by Joshua Ecob and Sophie Duncan training in Ballet and contemporary both Josh and Sophie were amazing my son learnt so much in a week they were both so inspirational and it was great to have a male ballet teacher too. Highly recommend and have booked DS on the Autumn Intensive during October half term.

    We've had a no from RBS and we are going to MIDAS on Sunday I think it's important for him to keep chasing his YES he's broken his heart today but I've tried to explain this world of dance is always going to be tough and there is always going to be someone chasing their heals so he's now looking forward to Sunday x

    The older they get the tougher it is to get in as I believe the places are fewer. My DS got a straight no last year and this year we're trying for year 6 so even fewer places! I hadn't thought about results as was expecting July no it's possibly sooner nail biting begins ????

    It was today last year for Birmingham (just came up on my timehop!) so now the long wait of watching my email begins and the nerves kick in good luck to all those waiting for results!
  14. csmith263
    This is a great idea ????

    I was surprised how dismissive the GP was but she was a locum! I've got an appointment at a dance specialist physio so I'm hoping she will get him sorted it's horrible to see him in so much pain especially with exams tomorrow and boys workshop at the weekend and show next weekend the ice tip is working well though! Thanks again for all your advice I wouldn't normally ask for medical advice but I know it's a really common problem so was just looking for tips from fellow suffers! He dances a lot but also plays football physio suggested could be the football that's caused it!

    I'm after some advice on dealing with plantar Fasciitis as my 10 year old son has this I've been to my GP who basically said that's what he's got and there is no fix for it. Has anyone got any tips on treatments that worked or is physio an option or is it down to plain old rest it's worst first thing in the morning. Any advice greatly received thanks

    No news for Birmingham yet though they did say end of June beginning of July! I'll be glad when my stomach doesn't flip every time my phone pings new email!!!

    My ds says they did no splits or froggie stretches in his audition in Birmingham but they did do a series of stretches he was a bit vague again he's a 9 year old boy!!!

    These pictures are a nightmare this is the first time for us and we have already done them twice! now for a third attempt!!

    I'm not sure husband took him to class last week and came home saying his exam is in December and as my husbands not one for details he was rather vague! I shall find out more when I take him! He's only just started and hasn't done any previously so I am assuming grade 1!
  25. csmith263
    Thanks for all your advice I wouldn't even have considered that he shouldn't practice at home looks like I've got as much to learn as he does! Lol!!
