  1. Would have loved dd to have done this when she was younger! Sadly they don’t do it in Wales and to go anywhere for rehearsals would have been a hike! So good luck and enjoy all those that can do it 💗
  2. I know when we were offered a full time place at a school our JA teacher frowned on people who took up an MA place if they’d been offered a full time place! Not that we would have done anyway! Personally, I think it wrong to take up a place too. Leave those places for those like what’s been said above, for those that don’t have many lessons 🥰
  3. Ahhhhh that’s different then! I’d try just ballet! Theirs are definitely the best as far as I’m concerned 😁 You'll have to be quick tho as had notification that she’s going on holiday very soon!
  4. I’d try Vinted or Depop for a cheap one. I remember taking 2 to Malvern one year, and because no one else, or only a couple took one, they decided not to use them 🤣
  5. Hope you’ve packed them out with paper to stretch them otherwise they’ll shrink 🤣
  6. I also would opt for august intensive/exam at end rather than paying for 2 exams if not happy with result in June! I personally would prefer in-person exams 🥰
  7. I agree! It depends on the student. If they’re a long standing student, never off, and suddenly because of an injury/longer illness then I would carry forward! But for the odd illness then no, class must be paid for 😁
  8. Excellent question! Speaking from a mum to a graduate dd and a teachers perspective! Can only speak about Royal Ballet School JA’s. DD absolutely loved her JA classes, we still speak about them today with extremely fond memories. Dd got an awful lot out of her lessons and still uses some of the exercises even now! I also use some of the exercises too as I think we both found them beneficial! To us I think, it was about being part of a particular training programme to a particular school and their way of thinking.
  9. Good luck for Manchester! That was our centre! The happiest times there in this crazy journey 🥰🍀
  10. KS Dance is more Ballet based rather than contemporary! And will take 16 and 18yr olds for their Diploma! 💗
  11. Yes she would be considered! KS Dance, Warrington take older students! In fact contact them incase they can take her this year! 💗
  12. Huge congrats! 🎉 KS is an amazing place, he’ll be very happy there 🎉
  13. One of my students is at NSCD and we were talking about her timetable today! Including ballet! I’ll get her to comment here tomorrow (she’s still at home on Easter leave atm!) which is nice for me! 💗
  14. We were the same! We found that if you were a high achiever academically, you got more help! Our dd came out of there believing she was rubbish! She went to another Voc school and surprised herself, getting 9 GCSE’s with good marks 🤣 Our classes I’m sure weren’t as big as they are now either!
  15. Ok so dd fitted with f.r.Duval today - similar to Gaynor. Dd extremely happy with them, so next question - anyone know who else would stock them please (any further info on them would be helpful too please) thank you 💗
  16. Yes, Hammond do a summer residential. Others to consider, although not residential but fabulous to do are KS Dance, Warrington and Bristol Russian.
  17. Fabulous fitting at That’s Entertainment in Liverpool today, so knowledgeable. Such a pity they are closing 🤣
  18. Think dd and I are going to have to investigate the 2 I’ve mentioned in first post 🤣 I’ll report back 💗
