Good luck to anyone auditioning at KS Dance in Warrington on Sunday 🍀 And can I just say, take no notice of the surroundings - it’s not about the buildings, the plush studios, and facilities it has. Or the fancy boarding facilities with all its mod cons. It’s about the people, the teachers and the way your DD’s and DS’s are treated in those buildings that matter. Good luck, dance your best and enjoy 💗🍀💗

Malvern Ballet Seminars - Easter Course 2021
Dancing unicorn replied to Jan McNulty's topic in Doing Dance
I really hate to have to say this but, whilst Vocational Dance schools might be opening tomorrow, there’s no sign of recreational dance schools opening yet, so how can Easter courses go ahead! Just saying 🥺- 34 replies

Summer intensives when already at a vocational school
Dancing unicorn replied to LexBallet's topic in Doing Dance
Yeh both at Elmhurst and Hammond we asked permission. No help with photos etc at either. Whilst permission was given, always felt that wasn’t encouraged, and felt guilty doing them but still did them and enjoyed them 😆 -
Our JA teacher in Manchester insisted on the girls wearing white ‘big’ knickers under their white leotards!! 😉

White lodge video audition - making a video
Dancing unicorn replied to The red shoes's topic in Doing Dance
We travelled from North Wales to Manchester every week for 3 years and only missed 1 class in all that time because dd was ill and that was travelling on a Friday or a Sunday each week, missing school in a Friday to attend. We travelled thru blizzards to attend one winter because dd didn’t want to miss her classes 💗- 1,568 replies

Malvern Ballet Seminars - don’t know if it’s running but would always recommend their Easter/summer schools 💗 Bristol Russian is another excellent one!
-
Totally agree with The Red Shoes! Wait and see if she gets an offer of a school! If she does then it’s meant to be! I would support any of my students having a go! 😁 Good luck 🍀

Vocational schools yesses and no's
Dancing unicorn replied to Crazylifecrazykids's topic in Doing Dance
Couldn’t agree more academically. Dd is not/was not academic! Previous school she was left behind, no help at all. Only extra classes laid on were for the more academic! Unlike Hammond, where they went out of their way to help the less academic. Even laying on extra tuition early mornings for GCSE years! And the children WANTED to attend in the morning before normal school started! I remember one of the teachers saying at a school meeting one time ‘you’ll have to carry me out in a box before I leave here I love teaching these kids so much’. And it showed in their results. Fabulous 💗- 208 replies

Dancing unicorn replied to Crazylifecrazykids's topic in Doing Dance
This has just made me smile 😁 I can vouch for all the above! My dd loved walking into Chester of a weekend with friends. There’s also the famous Christmas Carol Service at Chester Cathedral each year! The Cathedral is always absolutely packed out (and it’s not a small Cathedral either!) the singing is absolutely amazing! And of course there are the Shows! Sends shivers down my spine just thinking about them! Superb!!- 208 replies

I have to say my dd loved her time at Hammond too! She did far better academic wise than her previous Voc school. And ended up with far better GCSE results than she would have got before moving! Both academic and dance teachers were amazing and cared about the students ❤️- 208 replies

Can I have please 💗

If Fridays are a problem you could consider Leeds or Birmingham, depending on where you are, which are both weekend classes. Sorry I don’t know which days they are but I’m sure someone else could help with that. Good luck with your application. We miss our JA days ❤️
-
I don’t think so no! Some schools are ok with having Fridays off - technically it’s classed as education so they are allowed the time off.
-
Hi no it’s during school times on a Friday! when we were yr 4 & 5 we went to school for a couple of hours then went to Manchester (were north Wales!) Yr6 was an early start to get there for 9.15/9.30 and by time class had finished 2 hours 15 it was lunch time! By time we got back to wales wasn’t worth going into school so missed whole day! 🥺 school didnt like it, didn’t really get any support from them, but we thought it was worth it! 🥰
-
Manchester JA’s are Friday’s or Sunday’s - weekly! (The only Centre that does Fridays!) Year 6 group - mornings Yr 4&5 group (mixed group) - afternoons cant remember the times sorry Fabulous teacher tho if it’s still Miss Agar ❤️

Talking about intensives I would recommend: Malvern Ballet summer School KS Dance Summer School Bristol Russian Summer School Hammond Summer School Providing they are running! But at least you have a couple of years that you can fit them in seeing as your 14 now! Good luck 🍀
