    We all have days with two lefts.

    Ballet is really hard: I’m in my sixth year now, and just beginning to really develop the facility to pick up exercises half efficiently, and I’ve been doing a good number of classes for the last two years of so. It’s one of the things that the people who danced lots when they were younger tend to find easier than those of is who started later in life, so some of it may come back to you.

    I’ll report back on how progress at over a 105kg goes. 😂 Though, to be fair, I think my ankles and foot bones may be about four times the cross section of more traditional dancers on pointe.

    And if you have doubts about the fit, that’ll undermine your confidence. One of the problems for a beginner is working out what a good fit feels like.

    I suspect a lot of fitters probably don’t have much experience with adult beginners. We had a lovely fitting session in Freed today which sorted out some of my wife’s issues and magically got me a pair of shoes that feel as if they fit. I suspect the fit will need refining after I get some experience though.

    TfL are warning of exit only on all the tube stations near Covent Garden in the afternoon.

    No, nobody knows. There's also a big Brexit related demonstration planned, I think, so I'd plan an early lunch or a bit of pre-show protesting or something if I were you.

    They had already decided that the tube action was a bad idea. A subgroup did it anyway. The joys of anarchism. Glad I'm staying within walking distance of all the places I need to go to when I'm over this weekend.

    Yes, sadly, to the extent I want to replace my DVD collection with Blu-rays.

    You must be new here!

    Incidentally, am I right to read the G6 notes as saying you only need to perform one of the three dances in the exam?

    And this nonsense has got to be depressing visitor numbers: you’d have to be quite brave to spend on a trip to the ROH in November if you’re coming from outside the U.K.

    What's too old

    Harder, slower, but possible (unless you’re carrying limiting injuries or health issues, obviously)

    I’ve actually come across a handful in the last year.

    Lots of adults doing exams, even in Dublin. Three of our ladies did RAD I/F before the summer, some older than you, one grade 3, one grade 5, both older than you by some distance. I’ve ISTD 3 + 4 planned in the Spring and I’ve got a decade on you. (Also, hello other dancing male in Dublin. Not many of us …)
