  1. My daughter’s just had an email confirming her week (she’s lucky enough to have a scholarship) so I imagine they’ll be landing in inboxes shortly!
  2. My daughter has enjoyed dancing Cupid, Bluebird, Spanish from Coppelia, there are some nice Sleeping Beauty ones.
  3. Here are the taxis that are happy to drop off and pick up from White Lodge. The top two also have a key to the gate so can access the park when the gates are locked!
  4. Good luck everyone! Can’t believe it was a year ago that we were going through this process.
  5. Strangely, SAB needed my daughter to get a vocational student visa to go to the young dancers summer workshop for 1 week this June! It was a relatively straightforward process - we had to complete some online forms and send her passport to the US embassy. Took about 4 weeks, no interview needed. She now has a student visa lasting 5 years, linked to SAB!
  6. Agree with @Farawaydancer - Performance Platform was the first form of competitive dance that my daughter had ever been involved in and she really enjoyed it and got a lot out of the experience.
  7. Majority at same school (she was doing G5 and Int F group classes plus 1:1s) and an online associate programme as well as JAs.
  8. I guess it depends on her aims for the year ahead - does she dance just for the love of it, is she thinking of a career in dance and training locally for now until older, does she want to pass any milestone exams this academic year or is she auditioning for vocational school for next September? There will be lots of different answers to this, but in year 6 my daughter did between 6-8 hrs of ballet per week as lessons (including associates), 2 hrs of pilates/conditioning and then often a couple of hours of rehearsals on a Sunday depending on what performances she was in at the time. This was a mix of free work and syllabus and she did her RAD G5 and Int F exams during year 6. She’s off to vocational school in September. So some kids will be doing this much, some much less, similar or less than what your daughter does now and some more, particularly if they take part in festivals (which my daughter didn’t do).
  9. For sale - two new style JA leotards and belts in very good condition with no marks or damage- age 7-8 and 9-10. These are last year’s model so come up large - the 7-8 fit my 11 year old petite dancer perfectly (she’s 140cm). Also character skirt in very good condition, waist 52cm, length 47cm. Happy to sell whole bundle for £30 including postage or separately if preferred at £10 per leotard and £15 for the skirt. Message me for photos.

  11. The Travelodge London Battersea is literally a minute’s walk from RAD HQ and reasonably priced - it’s not the most glamorous but should be fine! Clapham Junction station is around a 15 minute walk for mainline trains and there are plenty of buses that run to Victoria and central London.
  12. My daughter really enjoyed the online associates in year 5 - and I think it definitely helped her to be successful in her audition for JAs in year 6. They do get individual corrections and I do suspect that they may get ‘noticed’ during the classes, although can’t be sure of that! We made a real effort for my daughter to be present for the vast majority of classes (she had to miss a couple for ballet exams etc).
  13. No worries! Feel free to ask any more questions and/or direct message me if I can help! 😄
