I can see that a lot of the audition dates are weekdays. Does anyone know what time the auditions have been in the past? (For juniors). I have to factor in travelling time, the other children etc before making a decision.

Several people have recommended Lovely Lily skirts so googled website but really cannot get on with it

 

there are a lot of tantalising descriptions of various skirts but I cannot find any pictures of them anywhere!

Does anybody know how to actually SEE these skirts!!

Hopefully this link will be a collection of skirts

Looks like they're having a fantastic time. It was dd and a few new friends who face timed me and they looked like they're having so much fun.

Could I ask what type of food is is on offer at lunch please, is it a hot meal, sandwiches etc? 

Thank you

I just asked my dd and she said it's hot food, things like jacket potatoes. 

Exactly what balletmum55 says, my dd (9) is there this week too and is loving it. 

Thank you both ?

Also, does everyone that applies get offerered an audition?

Sorry if my questions have already been answered, I have looked through but couldnt find anything. 

These are specifically for Hammond and Elmhurs year 7. 

How far in advance is it advisable to apply for the auditions? 

Are the audition classes capped at a certain number? (So could potentially be full if you don't send off your application form early enough).

Can you choose an audition date that is more suitable for you or are you given them? (And I'd need be can it be changed to one of the other dates?) 

Thank you

Hi I'm looking for black split sole jazz shoes size 1 please.

My dd is attending Opes for the first time too, week 1. She's 9 and absolutely loved ballet Malvern and cannot wait to go to this. 

Thank you. Dd is ever so excited and Olivia has been fantastic in her communication.  I'm up and double checking everything is packed. 

My dd2 will be going to Malvern next week. She's 9 and it's her first residential. I'm wondering if anyone has any dc's around her age that are going? 

OMG you must be shattered!! Pointe shoe fitting with 2 siblings in tow must be interesting! !

It really was. My 6 year old ds, who also does ballet, went by my dd, held the barre and tried to go en pointe in his trainers bless him.

It took us 3 hours to get here so we've all (me and 4 children) spent the afternoon in West Midlands safari park and we're now setting off for the journey home. We don't come to Birmingham often do we've made the most if it.

Thank you all. I managed to park outside the shop, took dd 2 to Birmingham royal ballet for her first NYB audition then walked back for dd1's pointe shoe fitting. The staff were absolutely wonderful and dd is really happy with her first pair of pointe shoes.

Thank you all so much. I'm not used to driving in a city so I like to plan my journey ahead of time. Dd is really looking forward to it, although she's not looking forward to the long drive.

I'm taking my dd for her first point shoes on Sunday and will be going to Dancique in Birmingham. Where would be the best place for me to park? (I have a 9 seater car so cannot do small spaces).

May I buy the royal size 2 please?

The closing date is noon 17th March x

My dd will be going for the first time. She will just have turned 14 by the course and will be residential for the first time too.

I've not received anything as of yet either Happymum.

Edit to say : the cheque has come out so I know they've received it.

Hi is this still available?

This will be my DD's first ever ballet residential(done PGL with school etc...) Will she be okay?

I'm sure she'll be fine. My dd is going for the first time this year too. How old is your dd and what week are you thinking of? Mine is 9 and I've applied for the first week. (posted the form this morning)

Opes is back up and running now. :-)

Fantastic, thank you.
