  1. If you are a member of AA you can get discounts at a range of places ...can't remember for the life of me where but it's worth checking.
  2. So...my maths is rubbish but surely today is 3 weeks since the first audition?
  3. Crikey - you did it again
  4. You had me excited momentarily then ...thought this was the start of yeses and nos! It's a long one isn't it? Especially as some of the intensive days are supposedly in the October half term. Off to check emails again
  5. And still we wait...
  6. Nothing here. The wait continues...
  7. Thanks! 65 comes to mind. They haven't said there will be a cull after the technique class. DD has audition call back 1 and then call back 2 to attend - not sure if that's the same for everyone???
  8. Yes, DD has a recall this weekend.
  9. Really???? Why do I not know this! ? Thanks :-)
  10. Head of boarding responds quickly to emails :-)
  11. Are you sure it's her hair stuff? My DD gets those spots admittedly, more on her forehead and my beautician thinks it's wearing make up and dancing that's causing sweat spots. She advised a mineral make up. Good luck for school!!
  12. Sorry to tag my question on the end here but I think there are some links. I wanted to know which was better GCSE Dance or Btec and if DD has the opportunity to do both (at separate schools) is this advisable? Thanks
  13. DD loves the peppermint foot products from Body Shop x
  14. What a well written, detailed review Arucaria - very useful. Glad you enjoyed your two weeks!
  15. Welcome - I don't know but I'm sure there's plenty on this forum who will be able to help.
  16. That's fantastic news - you must be so relieved and so proud! I know it seems trivial to say but things often happen for a reason even if you don't know what they are at the time! You must be so excited. Congratulations! !
  17. So how did your DD get on? Sorry for my ignorance but are we saying that this is a noteworthy associate programme then?
  18. Moreexcited. ..the fees are for the whole year. Does anybody know when the students will find out their roles? Do they have emails over the summer or have to wait until September? Thanks in advance.
  19. Opes...first ever residential and excitement is building.
  20. Thank you everybody so much for all of your advice - it is much clearer now about where she can apply and when. The other thing that I find is it's much easier to have difficult conversations along the lines of - you might get in and not be able to go because of funding - when I say that we're having this conversation because of advice from this forum. It's more like people who know are saying it than just me! I find it so difficult to have conversations with many other parents - dancing and non dancing as I just know that they are looking at me and thinking - she's deluded! We know it's tough, she doesn't want to be the next Darcey Bussell, she is just passionate about ballet and is prepared to work hard to get where she wants to be and we're prepared for the knock backs along the way. I think that we have a plan b, c and d now. We don't need to audition for a couple more years but for all the reasons mentioned I knew that we needed to get organised. I have now got a notebook with all the names mentioned and everything that you've said so we can see the wood from the trees! Thank you all so much for sharing your expertise and experiences.
