    Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I have a very excited DD who wanted to get out of bed to try her uniform on again 😂.
  2. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Oh brilliant. Thank you x

    It won’t be long now!!! I let DD wear her jacket last week for the first time. She was super excited. Quick question though, in the handbook it says to take a towel for the floor exercises but do children take towels or yoga mats (Leeds specifically)?

    This really does make sense. Split soles are lovely, but I keep telling my DD that they are a lazy shoe (as in make your feet look nice without having to really try.. I find this myself when swapping between my own split soles and soft blocks ). I keep telling DD that full leather will prepare her feet much better for pointe, for which she is counting down the years!

    We also had to do that We now have both sizes as although size 1 fits better now, I'm not sure it'll last 3 years.

    I did the same but emailed them to change the order and they did so we had the 7-8 delivered instead :)

    Oh that’s good to know. I bought the full tracksuit and although the bottoms are a bit baggy they’re ok, and if they wear them for more than just travelling I’m happy I got them x

    DD came out slightly disappointed as she wanted to be a princess but is a servent (she’s 8 ) I’ve tried to tell her she’ll love her part just as much but I know so little about the parts, if anyone can shed any light that would be great. I’ve read the linked threads but they are more older parts rather than Junior parts.

    Thank you. This is really helpful. X

    Thanks for that @sunrise81. I have now emailed about DDs EYB and other MT associate programme. Did anyone read the section in the handbook about photo's is it correct that you cannot put any pictures of JA pupils on social media (I'm thinking about a first day pic of DD posted to the closed dance school social media page). It would make sense as you don't see many pics online when you search JAs, just official ones.

    That's really good. I'm still waiting for our tracksuit / ballet shoe order. They did say 2/3 weeks, but that's because they have to make the skirt. I can't wait for it to arrive

    Hello, for those that are already in the programme, on the first day when they do the parents talk is it just one parent allowed?

    @PutYourBooteesOn oh that’s fab. It’s lovely hearing how excited she is. DD has no idea about the tracksuit 😁. I’ve kept it a surprise until now and thought about waiting for her birthday beginning of Sept but I don’t think I’ll be able to once it arrives 🙈. Yours came really quickly. I ordered ours on the Sat after the results and still waiting for it all, however it did give me time to change the order for the track suit to a 7-8 (I’m hoping I’ve done the right thing!) A size 1 leotard arrived for DD today and it’s snug (with the strange crotch) if she grows anymore before sept I’m not sure it’ll fit but I didn’t send the size 2 back so we have options 😁. Hairdressers tomorrow so we had a bit of practice with hair at the weekend (DDs hair is very long and thick) and it went in securely but looked bulky from the back and not like the pictures attached above. It looked lovely from the front though. So.... DD agreed that we need to have a good trim and thin out tomorrow (phew!! Always a battle 😂😂) I tried to include a pic of her hair but it always say the file is too big and I don’t know how to make it smaller on my phone.
  14. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Oh dear, looks like we’re all having issues. @BattementBatty Your DDs leotard looks good, but I can see what you mean about the crotch. I tried DDs again yesterday and thought it was ok but looked again and it gapes at the shoulders so I have ordered a size 1. I’m keeping the size 2 as she’ll grow into it at some point. I also emailed to change DDs tracksuit to a 7-8. 🤞🤞
  15. Pointeshoesarethedream
    It does thank you. DD is only 132cm tall so I’ll see if I can get them to change the order.
  16. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Oh crikey. It seems I’ve really got it wrong then 😭
  17. Pointeshoesarethedream
    When I emailed them they said they are true to size. DD is 9 in Sept and I ordered a 9-11 and I’m also worried it will be too big. The leotard arrived and is slightly baggy so I think I’ve got that wrong too. Despite doing all my measuring 😭.
  18. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Fab news. Well done your DD.
  19. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Thank you all. We are local so will likely go home in between as they are such a long time, so not too much hanging about for us thankfully. DD is very excited to start.
  20. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Thank you, I'm not great at the search function, but will have a practise. These links are really helpful

    Hello, Does anyone know if you drop and run for the EYB casting day and photo shoot, or do parent's stay given it is the first session with EYB? Thanks
  22. Pointeshoesarethedream
    First payment isn't due until August (no specific date given).
  23. Pointeshoesarethedream
    Hello @Ed_DanceMum the offer letter just said accept or decline as soon as possible so they could offer any declined places to others. Once I’d accepted I got the handbook and that had a deadline of 1st July to complete the student information. Fingers crossed for you.
  24. Pointeshoesarethedream
    @Waverley Yes it specifies in the uniform list leather. I’ve just ordered from them and will see how they fit and take it from there.

    @Bluebird22 Thank you.
