    Children selected for the company rehearse every Sunday from January to the performances week, plus a week during Easter school holidays. Depending on the choreographer there may be a Sunday your child is not required but you won’t know that until nearer the time. It’s a huge commitment for all the family but so very very worth it.

    Just an idea as I don’t know what the journey would be like but you could ring KS Dance in Warrington and see if there is a boys programme running, their Strength and Conditioning coach works on site and coaches boys see Science in dance on Facebook and theballetstrengthpro on instagram

    I’m thrilled to hear both daughters are happy, that’s the best news to read. I’m sure there will be plenty of dancing opportunities through the University and wish you all lots more happiness in the future

    Congratulations What an amazing career she will have with the RAD family, take her around the world and earn a proper wage its wonderful good for her

    We know a few RAD dancers that have taken Adv 2 through their old schools once at Vocational sixth form. If your GDD wants to do Solo Seal then you may find few Vocational schools actually allow for this in the timetable.

    Just an idea try an lambswool ouch pouch plus lambswool in these shoes and get a new pair that you can use and keep them as back ups. As Time goes on you will probably use softer shoes for certain solos when you want to be quiet, medium for class and hard when there’s a solo with lots of hops on pointe. So you have different shoes for different needs.

    If you look on the website you will see the number of points your GDD will get with UCAS. The new Adv 2 RAD is very demanding and she should be very proud of herself, if she gets a Distinction she will be eligible for the Genee International competition. My DD puts it on her CV

    They may not have found enough fee paying students.

    Can you come in to Redbridge on A12 or M11 ? there are two brilliant teachers at the Redbridge Classical Dance Studio Both fully qualified and Miriam is a RAD examiner. They have a website with timetable but definitely do privates aswell if you have any difficulties pm me and I’ll give you their mobile

    Thank you Sport personality I’ve sent the link on to dancers I think will be keen to complete it.

    This is a very busy time for KS Dance at the moment but I’m sure if you contact the office, take class at the London audition and ask for constructive feedback from Miss Simmons or whoever takes class you will feel more able to make informed decisions for September. Good luck and enjoy

    Have they asked the children already at WL yet, as they use to get first refusal.

    Standards or Level 5. Remember the intake birthdays are different aswell so a child born in October in England will be one of the eldest in the year and in Scotland probably one of the younger ones in their year.

    Ring them it’s only a short course I’m sure they will understand the issue I think I’ve paid once before submitting forms.

    KS is Chechetti, if you really want RAD syllabus classes email RAD HQ and they will give you qualified Dance school details in the area you are staying in.

    Your daughters journey so far is unique to her so I think you may need to research and add up her qualifications and UCAS points. As far as I’m aware a degree is a degree even if it’s only in dance performance.

    Swiss Ball

    Canary replied to junedancer's topic in Doing Dance

    You could message scienceindance.com which is run by Mr Rupert Wiltshire MSc he is a strength and conditioning coach for KS Dance and several other ballet dancers aswell as atheletes. If you explain what your daughter uses a Swiss ball for he will advise, if not your daughter could follow him on Instagram he is theballetstrengthpro and he will answer any questions she wants to ask on there. He is busy at the moment with KS open days but very helpful hope this helps

    Research body stockings in child’s extra small they should come with see through straps and spaghetti some mums get white cotton leotards and dye them flesh colour with Tea but that depends on the type of costume they are to go underneath and can make a child hot

    It's not just what you post, it's who you follow and who follows you that guides the advertisers. So even if you're private you will be fed the type of posts you should like in their opinion

    Mnemo I am so with you

    It's all about confidence in herself so whatever she thinks she would like to try she needs to get started practising now, wear it for classes now, so she has confidence that her mascara won't run with sweat, she won't lick her lips etc. I think it's like her hair and ribbons she does it so she is happy and confident in herself

    It's finding a balance - her wanting it enough to do the research and get pro active and you supporting her, which I know you do I laughed out loud recently on here when a mum was clearly filling in her daughters application forms for her and was wondering how to answer do I want to go to ENB as it's in London my dd said no, as for her it meant a horrible tube journey But of course I thought its location as being positive as it would mean no rent to pay may be the open days might inspire her good luck

    Genee 2017

    Canary replied to Ellie's topic in Doing Dance

    As the competition is held in September the teacher for UK students might have only met the dancer that term as they arrive for the new year. Also with the RAD changing the Majors syllabus and changing the ages for the exams although my DD did an exam each year she waited to do the new Advanced 2 RAD so was 16 in the September following that. If that makes sense

    Some teachers are so great in the way they articulate themselves that you can see their teaching coming through their students technique, hard to explain but other mums or teachers and choreographers might understand what I'm trying to say.
