Hi, if ticket sales at Wimbledon don't pick up EYB won't be back! What a worry and such a shame. Trying to encourage all I know to come along as it will be a beautiful show x

 

Won’t be back ever? Yikes! Tricky trying to fill such a big theatre over the summer holidays- I have lots of friends who would come if they weren’t on holiday! I’ve suggested they make better use of twitter and Instagram and perhaps they should try and get RAD and other bodies involved by offering a discount to their members and the kids ballet schools...not long to go and lots of seats to fill!!!

As an aside, just checking people have seen the photographs from rehearsals posted on Facebook yesterday? How lovely that the Cygnets had the opportunity to perform in costume at the shopping centre too!

Yes, aren’t they lovely! It’s amazing how quickly they learn everything! Hope they post the video soon!

DS is loving it too (and eating LOADS)- although she had a tough day on Thursday due to double pirouette nemesis- its great learning for her and it’s all about learning what it’s like to be in a company I guess!

DS is a Marinsky Dancer and a Hungarian Dancer and is having a great time! Hope your DC are too!

My daughter is a Hungarian dancer (and lady in waiting) too...I wonder if they’re dancing together! She’s having a great time and it seems very well organised...I must say I nearly fell over at the price of the t-shirts! I know it’s all for a good cause however and I’m sure we’ll get one anyway!

DD had those parts when she did Swan Lake. She quickly realised that they were far more fun than being a Swan. They did the Lady in Waiting dance en pointe and the Hungarian in character shoes. They are on stage for the whole of Act 1. Hope that helps. 

Thanks so much, I’m sure that will help!! She’s just passed her assessment for pointe shoes (she’s just turned 11) so won’t get them til September now, but she does has a great relevee! I guess that helped!! Are the dances in small groups?

DD is a Hungarian dancer and a lady in waiting...she’s a bit disappointed (obvs wanted to be a Swan) - anyone any experience of Swan Lake with EYB and can shed any light? To me these sound interesting roles!

Hello everyone! Does anyone know if the casting session is when they buy the t-shirts? So, should I bring cash, I guess is the question! Looking forward to meeting some of you tonight! 

We’ve bought our tickets to see Swan Lake but I’m a little paranoid about how few have been sold! Someone tell me there’s a rush towards he end! Hate the thought of them all dancing to empty seats because it’s the summer hols! Massive excitement in our house over tomorrow’s casting!

My dd is doing it, too - she knows a few others from her ballet school. Just waiting to hear about the rehearsal venue now.

Have you heard? I haven’t yet! Must. Relax. My daughter Eleanor is performing for the first time, we’re all so excited! Will be great to meet up with everyone! 

Thanks all! I feel appeased! I’d love to be in touch too- a thread sounds like a great idea!

Hi there! Has anyone performing in Wimbledon swan lake in August heard anything yet about rehersal venue? I know it said by Friday but I’m feeling randomly paranoid about the radio silence! Thanks in advance- it’s all rather new to me!
