    Watching ours now as a relaxing start to half term.
  2. Confuddled
    Thanks, that’s so helpful! So if they come straight out, is that a definite ‘no’? But if their number is called to stay it’s a ‘got through to the next stage’? I have a dd who likes to know exactly how things will work and gets stressed if she doesn’t...

    Does anyone know how the auditions work? DD did EYB, which was all together on stage then numbers called out that were in, but I presume it can’t be that given LCB has a two stage process.

    I was wondering you you’d heard back on the audition venue? I’ve just applied for dd. Not knowing which weekend it will be until very close to the time is rather mucking up any possibility of going away at half term...

    It was quite amazing how much they had learned in two weeks - really impressive. I have no idea about the technical aspects, but I enjoyed watching and they looked like they were having fun. I have a very tired dd this morning, but she’s still keen to know when (if!) EYB will be back in Wimbledon.

    Can you tell me the name of the school in Wimbledon? One of dd’s friends would be interested, I think, and it’s the right area for her.
  7. Confuddled
    People are keen until I tell them the price of tickets - it’s a big ask, one child and one parent from school are coming but they are paying nearly £50 to do so. I do hope they can sell more - dd is desperate for them to come back soon. She’s absolutely loving being a courtier, though she’s hoping its not too hot as apparently the costume has lots of layers including a fur coat!

    Dd is loving it, but is eating double her normal amount of food and is very, very tired! Im wondering when they'll next be in Wimbledon (or close-ish) as she's already very keen to do it again. Is it usually two years?
  9. Confuddled
    I was going to go with a small packed lunch like a sandwich and a drink (dd has form for not eating when there’s exciting dancing to be done) and a couple of quick to eat, non-messy snacks. I’m assuming nothing containing nuts, as that’s the usual rule at school and other summer activities that she’s been to.

    I had to enlarge to the max to work out that it was definitely dd in there!
  11. Confuddled
    I was looking for that info, too! Previous threads say auditions were at Herbal Hill (which is East Central London), but I haven't seen anything about rehearsals. It really makes a difference to the logistics, how near it is to a tube station and which side of London.
  12. Confuddled
    Thanks for the heads up! Is there a page on the website for rehearsal dates? I've only found audition and performance dates so far.

    Bloch had nothing but Dancia had a decent selection in her size - four to choose from (would have been more, but we were avoiding pink and purple).
  14. Confuddled
    Thanks taxi4ballet! Covent Garden it is, then.
  15. Confuddled
    Can anyone recommend anywhere in London to buy a ‘special’ leotard? My daughter wants a pretty leotard for summer schools, but I’m not up for a trip to central London in this heat unless I know there’s somewhere with a good selection! She’s 10, but small for her age, so I would have thought still definitely in children’s sizes. Thanks!
  16. Confuddled
    My dd and her friends are courtiers too. Anyone know if they get much dancing or is it mostly being on stage looking decorative?
  17. Confuddled
    Thank you both! I will get tickets for Saturday, then.
  18. Confuddled
    Does anyone know whether the dress rehearsal in the theatre is open to parents to watch, with EYB? I’m wondering whether to book a Saturday evening ticket and arrange babysitting, or whether I’ll get to watch the Friday dress rehearsal anyway and so can avoid faffing around finding a babysitter for Saturday evening (this is for Swan Lake in Wimbledon).
  19. Confuddled
    That's all really interesting. I've always bought barefoot style shoes (wide toe box, no heel drop, very flexible) for dd, and we go barefoot in the house. Has anyone had any advice about the suitability (or not!) of these types of shoes for dancers?
  20. Confuddled
    No idea, sorry! It looks like there’s a small staff car park, but I don’t know it it’ll be available.
  21. Confuddled
    I’ve just had a google, and according to Merton council’s website there are meters on Crescent Road (though I don’t know how many). You have to pay to park between 8.30 and 18.30, and it’s £1.20 an hour. This page (scroll down to nearly the bottom) gives the information: https://www2.merton.gov.uk/transport-streets/parking/parking-meters_30a5b07.htm#find It’s only half a mile from Raynes Park station (or a bit over a mile or a short bus ride from Wimbledon station), so that might be easier.
  22. Confuddled
    Could you pm me as well? Thanks!
  23. Confuddled
    I read it and didn’t completely get it, but dd did! Thanks! Ah, that makes sense, thank you!
  24. Confuddled
    My dd is doing it, too - she knows a few others from her ballet school. Just waiting to hear about the rehearsal venue now.
  25. Confuddled
    Thank you all, I think I’m starting to understand it. So it’s sort of another word for posture, and not only posture standing still (I’d thought it couldn’t just be ‘standing up nice and straight’!) but also when you move? I can see why dd is having trouble explaining it to me, I still can’t ‘see’ when a move is right or wrong, unless she really exaggerates and shows me very slowly.
