Thank you and well done to your DD!
-
Thank you dancefanatic. She's quite resilient and is happy to go along to auditions :-)
-
My DD is yr7 now and I had explained to her that she would potentially miss doing things with her friends. She also wants to do festivals next year.
-
Congratulations dancefanatic! It was a no for DD but she was fine about it.
-
Sorry, I'm having problems posting here. Screen keeps jumping. Meant to say whatever the outcome it was worthwhile. She would really like a place but said if not then she has EYB this year. I was proud of her for going in and getting on with it. She said it felt like she was only in there 25 minutes.
-
DD auditioned this afternoon. She came out with a huge smile on her face so whatever the outcome it'
-
I've been refunded. It wasn't the waiting that bothered me but the fact they wouldn't answer the phone!!
-
My DD wore a black Bloch lacy cap sleeved. Her class leotard is getting a bit faded bobbly so I wanted her to feel confident and smart. Others had their regular class leotards on though. Lots of navy lilac blue black and a few pastel coloured ones. On the email It says 12 year olds who are below grade 5 can audition for juniors so I think your daughter will definitely be in Juniors. Good luck!

You weren't to know, I was half expecting them to mess up but the lure of the bargains was too strong 😂
-
They'll probably make me wait for my refund. They don't have to respond to PayPal until the 26th.
-
Thank you and I'm sorry to hear that and I didn't notice you nip out. I was stood near the back. My DD didn't get in last time so now your DD has had experience she will cope better next time. I think it was worse for them this time as the 'audience' and panel were so close to the dancers.
-
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, was a bit hectic collecting DD from school at lunchtime and getting her bun just right. DD was thrilled to get a place, hope your DD was successful. The venue wasn't as comfortable as the Royal Concert Hall in 2016. I took a flask with me and stood for most of the time, had a quick sit down on a bench during the boy's dances.

What warm-ups / extras do the cool tweens wear?
Tatasmum replied to Confuddled's topic in Doing Dance
DD has said she likes Victoria's Secret Pink range. I need to keep up, it wasn't too long ago that she loved anything by Pineapple! -
I've put in a PayPal claim so I'm not allowed to contact Sansha directly. I hope they will respond to your call.
-
All the best to your DD. I hope my DD gets a place, her last opportunity as a Junior!

They are closed Mondays but they weren't answering last week. I have returned an item from a previous order but I had spoken to them and the size I wanted was in stock. I have heard that the site no longer accepts PayPal payments which leads me to think they don't want to be deluged with PayPal claims.

Tatasmum replied to Confuddled's topic in Doing Dance
I did eventually get the second warm up. The extra petite was diddy, would fit age 7-8 so I kept the petite and got a size 3. There is another discussion about their awful service. I think the online shop won't be around long enough for the ASA to take any action but it is dodgy that they add tax on at the checkout. Here's the recent discussion about Sansha. I have started a PayPal claim to get a refund on a second order. -
Wonderful news @Arucariaballerina !!

That's interesting. Well I'm glad I paid by PayPal as it I will be opening a dispute next week.
-
So they're not taking phone calls and are closed Mondays. This isn't good, I just want to know if my order has been posted. If not I'll have to drive out of town to get a leotard for DD....
-
That's not good :-/ I did get a confirmation email so I hope my order will go through.
-
I placed my order on the 5th, was hoping it would arrive this week as we could do with the leotards for Tuesday. The money has gone out of my bank account but when I log in to Sansha it says the order is still being processed. I might have to order a leotard from the Bloch website, does anyone know how quickly Bloch deliver?
-
You're welcome. Good luck
-
I've placed an order. DD has lost her stirrup tights so stocked up on those and ballet tights and ordered some leotards, underwear, a hoody. My order went through ok but if you have problems bear in mind they are closed Mondays.
-
When we auditioned DD was in the first group of 10 so she had a lot of waiting around. My advice is to hang back a while before registering so your DD is given a higher number. That way she will get to see how the other auditionees dance. DD wasn't successful but she wasn't too bothered. All her dance classes were on Saturdays back then and she wanted to be at her weekly classes with her friends.
