  1. Just bumping this post for any new parents of year 7 elmhurst girls. Items still available.
  2. Hello can you please send me photos of the skirts. Thank you x 😘
  3. Hi Powder Pink. I've heard that the intensive photos aren't linked to JAs etc and so I wouldn't read into it too much (or think she didn't get in because she isn't doing well in class). Some great advice already from Ruby Foo 👏. We've never done professional photos so i wouldnt worry about that....but the poses aren't easy to do....my dd can do them now she is in year 9 but back in year 6 she struggled. Perhaps your teacher could help with them for next time? The arabesque is a tricky one for younger dancers! X
  4. I had no idea how big Richmond Park was! I thought it was just a normal park....like our local park 🤪!! It's huge! Nearly missed dd audition as was planning to park and 'wander up'... then a friend pointed out how far it was!
  5. Hello! Does anyone know when we are likely to hear back about the summer course? Trying to make plans!
  6. They offer boarding to some and mds to some, but gave us an offer for a day place so didn't accept obviously! My daughter ended up going somewhere closer to home, she did love hammond though at auditions, seemed like a lovely school x
  7. Yes they do!!! Such a pain 😝
  8. My Dd got into elmhurst and she was a JA, but not a young dancer. I think most of her year were JAs, and some were young dancers also x
  9. My dd really worked at her flexibility. When she applied to JAs year 5 she only had her right splits. By the time we got to the school auditions a year later, she managed to get all her splits...she worked really hard on her flexibility, stretching most days. So even if splits aren't there yet, i wouldn't worry too much. We find that flexibility reduces when she has growth spurts too so it's always a work in progress!
  10. We got a day place at Tring (which was basically a no as we live miles away!) But them got mds for Hammond...so there is definitely a chance. All the schools look for different things and Tring is stricter than the others in some ways as they have less mds places x
  11. Good luck to your Dd! Please don't sorry about the song for Hammond! My dd is also not a singer and got mds offer....its more about having the confidence to have a go! Mds is based on their potential for classical ballet so they won't be ruled out on their singing ability. I'd just ask any questions you're interested in knowing. E.g. what dance styles will they do? What do they do on weekends? Are there performance opportunities etc! Like Ruby says it's all about enjoying the day and using it as an opportunity for a fun day of dancing in lovely studios! My dd loved audition week and we met some lovely mums who we are still in touch with now x
  12. Shwmai! I've never been but Adult Ballet Wales run ballet classes in Cardiff and Newport. I think it's just ballet though! Should be able to Google them. Pob lwc!
  13. Hello! They are really friendly and will put them at ease. I can't really remember specific questions but they were nothing difficult and definitely not trying to catch them out. Xx
  14. Pin pointe do lovely ballet related pins which are lovely stocking fillers. You can find them on Instagram x
  15. Elmhurst do RAD Saturday mornings, then it's normally park and aldi! They organise some in house activities usually, e.g. elmhurst has got talent, making pizzas, film night, quizzes etc then often do trips on Sundays (not every sunday). Trips include small trips such as cinema, bowling etc or bigger trips such as the Wave water park. They always do christmas shopping at Merry Hill! etc. Some people come home on weekends, some stay till leave out so there are always people around. My daughter comes home two weekends out of three, unless there are trips or activities she wants to do then sometimes she stays extra! Feel free to pm me if any questions x
  16. Hello. Please could I have the aloe almond lucky leo? Xxx
  17. Also interested in the pink high neck Leo but can't find a picture online. Any chance you could send one? Thank you!
  18. Hello! Interested in the lucky leo aloe almond? My daughter is adult height but very slim....Are the sizes adult sizes? So xxs adult...? X
  19. Thanks so much Peanut. Unfortunately can't do the local ybs session...and would be a trip to London otherwise which will cost a lot.....but great idea to try local arts charities. X
  20. Quick question.....does going to rbs/enbs/rambert etc intensives give dancers an advantage in getting in at upper school to these schools? My dd is vocational and we were planning on doing intensives at the schools she would apply for upper school but can't really afford them on top of school fees (even with mds...)....might just have to stick to one or two local courses that aren't quite so pricey but don't want to disadvantage her....x
  21. Anything left please? Could we have a picture of the bodile one please? Thanks x
