  1. We had to decline our week two place so hope someone gets lucky 💕
  2. Looking for any colour apart from black. Around a 20 ish inch waist. Doesn’t have to be hooped.
  3. Hi Lindsey , I don’t usually write much on here, just a lurker but felt compelled to say that even though it doesn’t seem it, from our experience sometimes it’s all for the best and exactly what everyone else has said, it’s not their time. my daughter was decided quite late that it was suddenly her dream to go to a specific vocational school. She had a really bad final audition and hence didn’t get a place. I’ve never seen her so devastated. Adamant she was going to try again we did our best to build her confidence and she started entering comps which she’s never done before and show her things that were new. Fast forward a few months and after stepping out of the associate scheme bubble she realised that actually this school was not what she wanted and we didn’t even go to the audition that we’d payed for. She’s now pleased she got a no as she wouldn’t have had the experiences she had had this year . I hope your daughter feels better soon and having a new school and teacher could be exactly what she needs, esp with less pressure of the year 7 audition process .
  4. The two I know of weren’t ja’s
  5. The Royal Academy of dance in Fulham often have workshops for young ones. I can see they have ones for 3+ you can book in holidays. My daughter did a lovely one when she was around 6 .
  6. @theleolounge on insta sells pre loved ballet wear and often has bullet point skirts
  7. Shower cap, reading light (for after lights out) normal clothes as well as ballet warm ups etc as the kids like to change in the afternoon .
  8. Before I give them back for credit I have 4 upper amphitheatre tickets going. N61-64 ÂŁ14 each
  9. Sometimes an email is sent out asking if London and Eastleigh kids want to audition and then you come to Covent Garden for the audition. Sometimes a person will come and watch class and pick and then with the boys I’ve heard they just ask specific kids if they think they fit the role.
  10. If anyone has 2 or 3 tickets they can’t use, I’d be interested. there’s some available but they’re quite far back or to the side
  11. Just looked back and in 2020 when ur first started , the cost was ÂŁ160
  12. Feel free to message me. My daughter is that week along with 3 girls she knows.
  13. I made the mistake last year of not packing normal clothes. The girls seemed to like to change after class .
  14. I need to have a good chat with my daughter but I think we might be turning down our place too so I think there will definitely be movement from waitlist
  15. Results are out and deadline for acceptances are the 18th April for info. good luck to anyone who’s waiting
  16. I’ve known kids get in with bare feet if your teacher would prefer that. I don’t think it matters.
  17. Hi, I’ve been told the whole summer intensive team are off until Monday, then they’ll be dealing with all the emails on Monday .
  18. We’ve never had professional shots and my daughter has been successful twice. But we have had our teacher to help and she won’t stop until she gets the perfect shot.
  19. Hi, congrats on your daughter getting a place. my daughter did it last year and had the best time of her life. she took way too many leotards and skirts, I think 1 for each day is plenty, but I did make the mistake of not sending her with more non dance clothes as they all want to change in their free time. I was apprehensive about the mobile phone thing but ALL the kids had one and actually it was a good idea. My daughter FaceTimed me regularly, sent me loads of pictures and I felt more secure knowing she was happy. I believe all phones were taken away before bed. I do know someone who emailed in advanced asking for their child to be in a bed next to their friend , so I’ll be doing that this year. Also a child moved beds a couple of days in, so nothings set in stone, they obviously want happy kids. I think registration is Monday but I haven’t checked. there’s a demonstration on the last day for parents. Last year though only one parent was allowed in to watch, hopefully this year as it’s not covid, it’ll be 2. there are evening activities but also the kids just hung out and amused themselves.
  20. The year before this results were out in January , so it’s anyone’s guess ? last year though I do not remember the website stating they’d try to get results out in 4 weeks.
  21. Masters of Ballet academy in Acton London are doing 3 days for age 14+ students.
  22. We have lilac but thank you ☺️
