Rosina Andrews does a pirouette surgery and I think has published a book. 

I can’t quite work out how to add her website link but may be worth having a look at.

We are traveling to NY this summer for intensive and have standard GP letter plus I've emailed them medical check which was done for upper school entry. US school was happy with it.

Thank you. I will wait and see how he words the letter and take it from there. Might be worth phoning them to explain.

I think he has already decided how he is going to word it CeliB but thank you for the offer. 😢

No she isn’t at Vocational school angel. The GP says he doesn’t know what exactly she will be doing so can’t say whether she is fit for it or not!!! As it is in the USA he is scared of saying she is fit and then something happening 😢

Hi my dd is due to attend a Summer Intensive in the USA this summer. We need a Dr’s letter to say she is healthy to participate. Our GP is a bit reluctant to do this for fear of litigation but said that he would provide a letter with medical history attached to put the onus back on the school for them to decide if she was fit. I’m worried that this will not be acceptable as we have spent a lot of money already on travel, accommodation etc., not to mention the intensive itself. Just wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem and if there is any way around this.

 Hi - have you looked at Kings International Ballet Academy? It is a purposefully small academy of Ballet limiting numbers to 16 in each year so that each student receives individual attention - we are able to offer a levels/ academic qualifications as an optional extra plus a teaching diploma . We have a very different approach to the training of our Classical Dancers and follow the Russian method. We are currently auditioning  in Portugal but we do have dates left in Wales, Switzerland, Ireland, Malta and Birmingham . Have a look on our website and don’t hesitate to telephone . 

Will look into that thank you,

Hi I’m looking for a Capezio black practice tutu. Would need to fit size 8/10 adult.

Many thanks.

Thank you so much for the sound advice Pups_mum, and indeed everyone who has given me advice. I will look into the DVD options...hadn’t really anticipated just how much of a rollercoaster ride this is!

No Anna there aren’t 😢

Thank you stessedbeyondbelief I will look at all of those.

Just one BlueLou, but she has only applied for one school. We don’t live in GB so any audition involves flights, hotels as well as the normal fees for auditions. The cost of these is dictating what she has applied for. Also getting time off work for mid week auditions is virtually impossible. It seems the odds are stacked against her 😢

Fair point  meadowblythe I do know that the dance world is a very tough one and to be honest so does dd. I think as a parent you want to protect them from the disappointments of life, never mind the added stress/expense/juggling etc just to get to the audition!

I haven’t Stressedbeyondbelief. I will suggest that to dd. Worried that to try again and get another ‘no’ would knock her confidence completely, but yet how will she know if she doesn’t try... 

Hi Meadowblythe - she will be 16 in June but hasn’t done very much contemporary. I think would prefer ballet. I haven’t heard of Chantry. Will look into that thank you.

I think they were in height order Vonrothbart, with number 1 being the smallest. My dd would have been one of the youngest there, having a summer birthday.

Thank you 😁

My daughter was number 20. Don’t think that’s the reason you haven’t heard.

My dd’s email came through before midday. Maybe check your spam folder BlueLou...

Anyone had any results from the Leeds CSB audition? Dd got a ‘No’ and is gutted! Wondering where to go from here. No other auditions planned as funding for auditions/travel and the courses themselves (if she was accepted) is a big issue for us. Not sure that she would get a DADA as they seem to be only for exceptionally talented children.
