    That’s great news. When did your DD take her exam? We’re still waiting for results from 17th March 😭.

    @balletgremlin do you mind me asking who the examiner was?
  3. Pointeshoesarethedream
    How disappointing after all the waiting 😢.
  4. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Thanks @balletgremlin still more waiting then x

    Has anyone at all had any results from video submissions? Waiting here (impatiently!) DD did her exam on 17th March.

    Another note. You can also play it in slow motion for those tricky bits you need to master!

    They offered 10% off over the weekend. It’s gone back up today though unfortunately.

    Yes we have it and with my Apple ID I have all the grades I have purchased on my phone, my daughters phone and an iPad. My daughter doesn’t use it as much as me but it’s been a godsend for the syllabus I’m studying.

    Huge congratulations. I’ve followed your DDs audition journey as you were so helpful on the JA newbie thread. Fantastic news for your DD xx

    We also have ballet on the timetable (and football for my son!)

    Happy Mother’s Day xx

    To be honest. I did change my working patterns once September came so that I only work 4 days. That way I can get ahead of myself before the weekend hits. If I’m not taking DD to JAs we’re at football with out DS so we really don’t have weekends free. I’d have really found this hard if I was out at work 5 days a week too.

    We travel 1 hour each way (50 miles) and do 32 sessions. It’s pretty much every weekend with the odd week off around half term and 3 weeks in April. DD loves it and we have embraced our busy Saturdays (read that as I’ve accepted that Saturdays are none existent for me now 😂).

    This is really interesting to know. We are only at the very beginning of our ballet journey but DD has a dream! I look at her and think about how she’s not blessed with natural flexibility, I do often say to her that the flip side of this is she has quite a lot of control so perhaps this will go in her favour when the time comes. Congratulations to all those that are on the next step this year. Sorry for the ‘not yets’

    Fantastic news. Congratulations x

    Good luck to everyone auditioning 🍀

    @BellaF I’ve decided against it I think. More for logistic reasons than anything else. Will your DD be boarding? Inter F work at 9!!! That’s fair going.

    Thank you all. Combining it with a holiday is a really good idea although I don’t think my OH would see it that way 😂. But something to think about. Unfortunately we’ve booked our summer hols for the beginning of the school holidays so summer schools are out for us this year, but I did like the look of Moorlands. We’re in Yorkshire so will also consider YBSS next year but I think that’s hard to get into? I’ll have a bit more of a think and check when the closing date is.

    I’d be interested in this too. I’ve just seen the Malvern spring intensive and am wondering whether to apply. DD is 9 (Sept bday) and I can’t decide whether she’s just a little too young yet. She’s already decided that she’s applying for them all next summer when she’s 10 so I don’t know whether to just wait. Location wise they are all so far away 😳.

    Hello, 2 questions: 1) is anyone from Leeds going to Coppelia tomorrow and travelling from York? 2) is it the done thing to give teachers a gift at Christmas?
  21. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Are any Leeds JAs going to the pre general rehearsal for Coppelia in Nov? Trains from the North are eye watering on the day and cheaper to go the night before and stay but wondered if any of DDs class mates will be there (Yr4/5?)
  22. Pointeshoesarethedream
    I specifically asked about private Dance school Social media accounts and the answer was no x
  23. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Wow, I don't think I would have expected anyone to call it basic and boring. I did tell DD it would go right back to basics which would be what she should expect. DD really did enjoy it and has done her exercises every night so far. It would be really good to put a face to our balletco names (I'm the parent that asked about the social media photo's!!!)
  24. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Oh no @BattementBatty. That’s terrible.
  25. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Hope everyone enjoyed today as much as DD. They were made to feel very special. ❤️
