Last year we heard on the Saturday following the audition.

I have just shown your post to a friend in a similar position, she has said you need to ask your doctor to refer you to a podiatrist which can be done on the NHS. Hope that helps.

We've had our results today. 

There's a year 8 page, I know one of the Y8 mum's- will ask her to add you x

The leotards change colour each year and the formal uniform top is pink Y7 & 8 then blue for 9 and 10.

If you pm me your email I can send you the lists x

My dd joined last September in Y9. DB weren't at the induction day they did a separate visit but we didn't go as it would have meant another day off work.

I would try and buy the formal uniform 2nd hand as they hardly wear it. I had lots of help from other mum's over uniform - especially dancefanatic 😁

I would second the Just Ballet tutu. We have 2 now!

My dd auditioned late last year for Y9 and was awarded an MDS.

Just Ballet? I think they have some boys costumes. You could try IDS if your dance teacher has a catalogue.

There's also a couple of Facebook groups selling costumes.

Yes, of course - I'll send a PM when I get home this evening.

Peanut68 - sorry just the DVD. Not sure about the syllabus - I'm no expert!!!

My Y9 does 2 hours of ballet every day including Saturday. There's also another 2 hours of dance on weekdays which can include Pointe, jazz, contemporary and Pilates. 

I can't help on your 2nd question but I'm sure someone else can point you in the right direction. 

Move Dancewear are also very good. They were great at sizing some shoes when my dd needed then urgently for an audition. They came next day too.

I have the RAD Intermediate DVD for sale £10 + postage.

Also looking for the Advanced Foundation if anyone has one they would like to sell.

I have a Wear Moi "Passion" leotard for sale in white age 8-10. Only been worn a few times so in perfect condition.

Good luck Danceintherain, I'll keep my fingers crossed for her.

I think we met at WL finals - which seems like a lifetime ago now! X

Hi, can't help on all your questions but as regards Northern Ballet I believe everyone who applies gets an audition. Also compulsory attendance at the summer school is for the CAT students not the associates. If you have any more questions about Northern just give them a call, they're very helpful x x

We might have one. I will pm you x 

Does anyone know if photos are required for the application?

Not directly from Miss Whiteman but indirectly from the regular associate teacher.

My dd was an associate in Manchester and Miss Whiteman used to come about twice a year to watch class.

Definitely not all adults as I know one of the girls!

B&M Bargains do a pack of 3 nutcrackers for £3.99 in 2 different colour ways.

Also Adsa have some large nutcrackers for £10 - I got conned into buying one this morning!!!! They are quite nice though 😃

Will reply shortly, been busy clearing out the attic 😂😂
