DD is dancing for the first time in a show on pointe. Obviously that entails a lot more time on pointe (rehearsing etc ) than she is used to. I'm happy that her shoes were fitted very well. Is there anything else she should do to preserve her feet? Toe tape,pouches etc... Thanks

M and S seamless are fine.

The waiting is the worst isn't it? I was aware that when it comes to Musical Theatre sometimes you don't get in because you don't have the right look for a character - wrong height, hair colour etc...but I was told the other day that the same can be true for some dance companies. I think it helps my dd if she understands that it's not that she's isn't good enough, just not what they are looking for on the day.

Thank you, that's really helpful.

Hi,my DD now has permission to audition for this. Has anybody auditioned before and can give us any tips on what to expect ? Thanks.

My DD is hoping to audition for the Extended Associates...does anybody know what she can expect at the audition? She's got into EYB but I'm guessing that's more performance and Elmhurst is more technique?

Have a look at Abbots Bromley.

Thank you everybody. I genuinely appreciate your guidance. I'm going to have a chat to her current dance teacher just out of courtesy really and to get their opinion as to what would be best for her. The majority of what you've all mentioned though look like they will really compliment her current exam classes. Thank you.

Love to dance...thank you so much,really appreciate your help. Thank you everybody.

Hi ,can you give me some more information please. Is this for an associate class? Thank you.

Just had a look on Birmingham Royal Ballet site and they've got what looks like an interesting taster session at the end of June.

Where should I look for the associate classes in Birmingham? If you can't already tell,I'm new to this.

Thank you Snowflake and Anna...we're in Derby so Birmingham is certainly possible. Thank you...I will have a look.

My dd is desperate to do more dance but I don't know where to go to find more. She is in Year 7 and does about 7 hours of ballet, 2 of tap/jazz /open. She's going to audition for EYB . She's currently studying Rad grade 5 and intermediate foundation. What else should I be looking at for her? Thanks.
