    I am looking for a pair of tickets for the Nunez/Clarke R&J on the 17th of May. These can be anywhere in the house. Can anyone help? Could swap for tickets on the 23rd. Thanks in advance.

    My bf has expressed an interest in seeing Nutcracker over the football game, so I am trying my best to oblige! Please message me if you can help. Thank you!

    Have PM'd you!

    £8 ticket for this Saturday afternoon (McRae/Takada/Naghdi), Stalls Circle Standing. I will be at the ROH this evening and can pass the ticket to you then. Alternatively, I can leave it with the Box Office in your name. Please PM if interested. Thanks!

    Unfortunately I can no longer make the show. The seat is First Circle 2 - SG6 (£45). The ticket confirmation says 'restricted view', but I can't remember what the restrictions are. If you're interested, please PM asap. I think I've opted to collect my ticket at the box office and will need to ring them up to transfer the seat to you.

    Student tickets are only held for one week after the student priority booking date. 10 standing tickets are held (I think), but they are not all SCS.

    It's student booking this morning

    I rarely post in this section of the forum but I just wanted to say that there was something very special about the Takada/Campbell Rubies pdd last night. I've now watched every cast from this run and the 2013 season, and they've displaced the McRae/Osipova pairing for me. Takada was perfectly sensuous and slinky and I am now a Campbell convert! Completely electrifying when they looked into each other's eyes at a still point in the Stravinsky.

    Returning to the Box Office in 2 hours if no one wants it!

    For sale: Upper Slips Left, BB-16 Will send e-ticket immediately after receipt of payment. Please note that this was purchased with student membership, but I don't think you will have any issues getting in.

    Just checked: standing places in slips and some seats on the far left and right at the end of rows in the student amphi (2nd May). I was trying to make the general point that student tickets are released after a week's holding period and it will be worth trying again in future instances

    Thanks to all — will investigate these options

    Thirded! As Tatiana says, there were very few options for affordable seats left when student booking opened on Monday. I could only afford one ticket to Jewels. I can also see why management chose to reserve the Watson/Osipova cast for students: if you really want the younger generation to keep coming back to the ROH, wouldn't you want to entice them with the most exciting cast? The student amphi seats for Mayerling are held for a week, so there may be more tickets available next Monday.

    I wear Grishko 2007s with a lowered vamp and the shanks refuse to come out!

    Hello, I am planning to take my Intermediate exam and am on the look-out for soft blocks with a very low vamp for my short toes. Any recommendations? Thanks so much!

    I was at the Summerscales/Parish/DePrince performance on Friday evening, and I have reviewed it on my blog. https://gargouillade.wordpress.com/2017/01/16/english-national-ballet-mary-skeapings-giselle/

    I love the skirts from this Etsy shop! Very flattering cut: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FlicFlacDanceSkirts

    Could one of the knowledgeable members of this forum confirm the name of the Alvin Ailey dancer who danced the Eric Underwood part in the Chroma pdd with Cuthbertson this evening?

    Hi, I wear Grishko 2007 Pros too. Unfortunately these are very noisy shoes and there is no real way around them! I have found that if you hold the shoe in the middle and hit the box of the shoe against the floor repeatedly and very forcefully (sole side facing down), this helps to make the shoe somewhat quieter. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for your kind words Sim, and for pointing me to Alison's post!

    I have been a long-time reader of this section of the forum, and I have learnt tremendously from some of your posts. Tonight I felt brave enough to pen my thoughts about Anastasia, and I hope sharing this link is permitted: https://gargouillade.wordpress.com/2016/11/03/the-royal-ballets-anastasia-2016/

    Thank you both! Will remember to jump 'in one piece'
  25. Gargouillade
    Thank you all for the advice! It's helping, although I'm still leaving my upper body behind. Are you meant to lean forward slightly as well in the height of the jump?
