Ballet Power

I’d be interested in degas. Wear moi. Or skirts.

I was just about to suggest jo deSouza too.

Wow, I’m surprised they told them on the day. I thought they all had to go back for mds audition. We’re up hall there when they got told? Hope you hear soon.

No, I emailed them but haven’t heard back. I might call them this week or maybe if you email them too.

I think you are right. We’ve had to take new photos as they are different from the spring intensive requirements x

Has anyone successfully sent in The Hammond registration form? After filling it all in (it’s quite long) it won’t let me submit. 😭

I wondered the same.

I think they said they have 10 in the current year 7 who have an mds. I don’t think they said how many they have to offer this year.

Thank you, so no prepared solos? X

Does anyone know what they have to do at the funding audition for Hammond?

Moore and Moore photographer are very good I think they are down south. We used kate frost in Birmingham. I totally think it’s up to you if you go to a photographer or do them yourselves. This year we went for a photo shoot and my daughter has done better in applications for Royal spring intensive. It made it easier for us as I am my dd teacher so being the photographer as well was just too much. The shoot was a lovely experience. Do what’s best for you!

Think they said 3 days for years 7-8 and 1 day for years 9 & over

Anyone at Hammond today?

I’ll message you

They ask you to show certain positions to see your natural facility. They move your joints to see the range of movement- spine, hips, shoulders. not sure if they are doing hands on at the moment due to covid, someone else might be able to help with that.

Contact them, they are very helpful.

Wanted - Tring CBA Tracksuit top Age 13 or bigger Aubergine Leotard Age XS or S (Or age 12) Academy of Balletic Arts Tracksuit top Age 13 or bigger

Also take a look at SJ Coaching (Sophie Jane) - super classes for different age groups. She has half term workshops.

Is this still available?

Do you still have the larger jacket or leotard?

Just wondering if anyone had tried to apply for the summer intensive who had also applied for spring? when I apply for summer it keeps returning to the spring page and telling me I’ve successfully applied.

I think it is, looking at the cover. I’d take a look on you tube and see if you can get a good clip.

There is only a very old dvd. Using the original music. Not sure if it’s that useful.

I guess it’s up to you, but I’d try to go to Tring as much as possible. I would prioritise EYB show and rehearsals nearest the show week. If that helps?

I’m sure EYB will let you go to Tring, they are very good at accommodating associate schemes .
