Dancing feet

Merry Christmas and thank you for the wealth of information you give to a mum with no clue! Xx

On refresh mode, but I almost don’t want to know!!

Wait list for my dd 

Thank you I now have somewhere to start

I’m hoping one of the lovely posters on here can help. My DD has wide feet and i’m Struggling to get her a new pair of ballet shoes. The ones we tried this am that didn’t feel to tight looked like flippers on her!! How wide are the Capezio ww fitting? Any help gratefully received. 

That is amazing well done. 

Woodside is fantastic. 

congratulations to all the yes’ and to all the not yets keep trying. My little DD had a no thank you, she was upset last night, but this morning has already talked about giving it another go next year. I am incredibly proud of her for even going to an audition at such a young age, we will keep trying until my DD doesn’t want to. X

My daughter Is tall and looks older than 9 given her height. Good luck everyone let’s hope the London results are out today 

I too have seen 2 yes’s for a London ballet school, but we are waiting for my little DD’s result. I am assuming we will hear tomorrow as some London results are out.

Not only am I now refreshing my email I am refreshing this page every 10 minutes to see if anyone else hears - getting silly now I really need to learn to be patient 😂

 

come on london results!! 

This is what I am doing!! 

We are waiting on London results but i’m determined not to keep checking emails, instead i’m checking here!! 

We haven’t gone down a vocational route and won’t until my DD is a bit older. My DD will be doing 10 hours a week from September with an amazing teacher who has brought her on hugely in the last few months. I can’t stand the thought of her going away and I know that at the moment it is not right for us as a family, although this has been the right path for some of her friends.  My DD is year 7 currently and her school (grammar) are really supportive of her goals and aspirations. From September she will finish early 2 days a week to ensure that we can get to her lessons.

We also know children at vocational schools from age 11 and some who have not gone until 16. Follow your instinct. 

My DD is auditioning in London. We tried for a year 4 place last year and she almost didn’t go in as she got very nervous. 

She has said she wants to try again and i’m Just hoping that she enjoys it. 

I would second that Nicola is a fantastic teacher.

We haven’t heard anything yet either. 

If we haven’t sent the application by the 9th will they still consider you? I can’t see a closing date.

Can anyone tell me what Central’s summer school is like? My DD would like to apply for this one but I wondered what other posters have thought of it? Xx

My tween has a knitted all in one thing that she loves. She says it is comfortable over tights. I got it online from the Porselli website.

I have found this thread very difficult to read and completely agree with the quoted post.  I have a friend who is in a similar pickle with her DS (different reasons but a complete pickle) she will not listen to reasonable advice either.  Time to step up to that very important role of ‘parent’. Your child needs adult guidance to protect her welfare. 

I completely agree Harwel. 

It is such a difficult position to be in, and having recently had a friend going through something similar. Whilst they have chosen to take a break from Dance the ramifications from the damage that the teacher has inflicted are huge. It has effected their whole family and destroyed something that should be fun.

Woodside Dance Retreat has a 3 day course. 

We haven't heard yet ?

Just seen a Facebook post announcing a London result!!! 

Not had our email yet. ?

We were on the last day as well. As they said July I haven't thought about it until I read on here that results were arriving. I'm now reshreshing my emails constantly!!! 

We were there today. My little 8 year was a bit overwhelmed by it all and teary before going in. She did enjoy the class and came out happy. Good luck everyone
