    Christmas present ideas for dancers

    Hi all, inspired by all the passionate dancers and dance parents that I'm surrounded by I am creating a collection of jewellery for dancers which would make perfect Xmas presents or good luck gifts for auditions. Made to order by me in a choice of sizes and colours to suit. Crystals and semi precious gems. Here is the link to take a look-

    Help pep talk needed for failed lower school audition

    It is hard for them at such a young age to manage the knocks but I think you can reassure her that she clearly has plenty of talent and lots of potential to be selected for 2 top quality associate programmes. Imagine how many children tried and were unsuccessful where she was one of the few selected. Also, from what I hear and read it seems that all of the main vocational schools look for slightly different qualities in a dancer so what's a match for Elmhurst may not be right for RBS etc and at the next audition she may well be selected where her friends may not be. It's all swings and roundabouts! Dancers all have their unique qualities and determination and resilience is quite high up the list of prerequisites for dc and their parents. I would let her know that was only her first audition and what you learn from a setback can be a great deal more than getting a yes first time. Could be nerves even? I would tell her to put it down to experience and use everything from that to go into the next audition with head held high and do her best. That's all you can ask. Best of luck to her for next audition!

    A question on London Children's Ballet recalls

    I believe that's the case. If not recalled tomorrow then it's the end of the process. That's what happened when dd auditioned anyway! It's a multi stage nail biting process. Dd loved being part of it, fantastic experience and run by brilliant people. Good luck everyone! The audition is fun too so they will enjoy it.

    Help pls! Searching for black footless overtights?!

    Hi all, apologies for random request. I thought the wealth of experienced parents on here may be able to help. My dd has seen girls wearing black footless/stirrup ballet tights over their leotards and the don't have a gusset! I can find them nowhere and am wondering if such a thing can be bought? Any ideas? She's keen to wear them for an upcoming audition. Thanks all.

    I've heard an interesting theory on why young Australian and NZ dancers are particularly strong. An Aus parent explained that because they are so far away geographically from Europe they feel pressure to train dancers exceptionally hard so they are not behind when they arrive in Europe/northern hemisphere for auditions/competitions/summer schools etc! Infact what seems to have happened is that they are so thoroughly prepared/trained that they arrive and discover they are often stronger than their European competition. Just a bit of hearsay but does make some sense.
