  1. Hi there. My daughter, 1st year at Central is also in Friendship House and is happy there. It’s really convenient for the school and saves on transport costs. I think she’ll probably stay there for 2nd year too.
  2. Hi. My daughter has just completed 5 years at DSS and is now in her first year at Central. When she auditioned at age 11, she hadn’t done any ballet exams or productions. Most of the other children had. It didn’t seem to matter. I think they are looking for confidence, musicality, sense of performance and enjoyment and a certain amount of physical aptitude. They seemed to all go over the basics again in first year. She needs to go in and enjoy it. My daughter had a fantastic 5 years at DSS.
  3. My daughter has just finished her 5th year at DSS. They do classical every day and a mix of other dance styles during the week ( modern, jazz, contemporary, tap etc..)Exams RAD ballet and ISTD modern. She’s really enjoyed her time there and is going on to Central School of Ballet in September. Everyone from the graduating class that auditioned was successful gaining a place for further study in a variety of schools- classical, contemporary, jazz, performing arts etc…I would say- strong classical base but they all come out with a good grounding of all styles.
  4. My daughter is starting at Central at 17. She had friends that auditioned for the schools that you mentioned - also at a year older.
  5. I’ll have a look at Walmsley studios. I hadn’t heard of that one. Yes- financially they all seem beyond our budget- just hoping something crops up to help out- somehow! Also need to balance transport costs etc…
  6. My DD has accepted and is really excited. We’ve looked up the ones on the website and also found this morning: https://www.sanctuary-students.com/student-accommodation/london/manna-ash-house It would be good to know where other first years will be and anywhere to avoid etc…
  7. We’re just tentatively researching accomodation for September start . Does anyone have any recommendations or anywhere to avoid please. Thank you!
  8. My daughter has just declined Northern and had a really lovely email reply, wishing her all the best etc.. I found myself slightly concerned at writing the email as they had been so generous to her.. but thankfully a good response.
  9. Sorry. I don’t know. I was surprised to receive a call and assumed everyone else would have one too. My dd heard via friends/ Snapchat etc ( maybe not a reliable source ) that they are making more calls on Monday. Yes- tricky situation…
  10. Also a phone call and a yes- we have a very excited girl here!
  11. Thanks Alison, that’s great. I’ll have a look. Yes -Used to live in France, so language not a problem.
  12. Could you send me a photo of the Mireille leotard please. Thank you
  13. Does anyone have any experience of this dance school in Marseilles please? I am interested in how the standard compares to Tring/ CSB etc... for 16/17 year olds and any other info. Thank you. L’Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Danse de Marseille
  14. We just phoned them- finals are not happening- my DD has a place on wait list also for Sept. They’ve skipped finals and looked at video for both stages..
