Hi @SJBallet, which centre have you been offered a place at? Do you know which group your daughter/son is going into? I might be able to help if it’s the same one as my DD, otherwise someone else might be able to. Also, they’re really good with admin and responding to emails so if you send them an email with your question I’m sure they’ll respond ASAP. We did get an email from them on Wednesday with my DD new group on, saying that they were exceptionally busy at the moment, so that might be why 😊 Let me know if I/anyone can help with anything!

Oh no!! That’s such a long time!

My DD got hers last Wednesday, she took her exam about 3 days before they cancelled them. I hope you get your DDs soon!!

Yes, that’s all so true. It’s such a strange time for everyone. It’s the limbo situation that has the most effect I think. Especially when we’re all used to being so busy and so ‘planned’ with our children and their interests. I hope everything works out ok for your children 🤞🏼

I think it’s different in the UK, and even regionally across the UK! Really pleased you have your result. I hope you’re all keeping safe and well in the US.

argh! I hope you don’t have to wait too long!!

Ah that’s amazing! Well done to her 👏🏻

Oh that’s also interesting - thank you! Are you in the South, Wales or NI? The results I know of so far have all been in those areas. I hope that it was good news for your DD😊

Ooh interesting, do you know where you saw this? Thanks!

Ah thank you 😢🙃. That makes sense. I just had a tiny ray of hope when I heard that some schools had received some results... what will be will be I guess. She could just do with a semblance of normal/what life used to be like this week 😌

Morning I hope everyone is doing ok? Has anyone heard anything regarding the RAD spring exams? Some of them did go ahead (physically) before they were stopped Mid-March, and I know some ballet schools were able to submit via video. Has anyone heard whether results will be coming through at the start of May, as is usual? Or will the students receive them when life returns to ‘normal’? I fully realise that it isn’t that significant with everything happening right now, however there are some young ballerinas keen to know (!), so I wondered if anyone knew the answer? ☺️ Thanks so much!

Ah this is beginning to look reassuring, phew! I’ve ordered 3 sizes. At this rate all my capital will be in satin ballet shoes 😂

Yes, I’ve ordered some Dancewear Central, not Bloch though, everywhere I’ve checked says size 2 as smallest. I ordered those in hope, but they’re just a bit too big. Lovely material and potential though! Thank you! The quest continues 😀

Oh yes, any further ideas are very welcome!

Thank you! I’ve ordered a choice of sizes in these ones. I’ve also ordered some Roch Valley ones. Someone suggested that the cheaper ones might be narrower. So that’s 3 pairs I have at home, 5 more pairs on order. Let’s hope one of them fits 🩰

Thank you. Yes, she has the Bloch full soles for Elmhurst. They’re lovely. But they’re allowed split sole (but have to be satin) for EYB so she’s very keen to try and find some as that’s what all of the other girls have! Thank you for trying to help 😊

Hi all Does anyone have any advice on split sole satin ballet shoes for a very skinny footed child. They’re for EYB and so need to be satin. She’s only a 13.5/1 in ballet shoes. Bloch (who supply her Elmhurst satin but full soles) don’t appear to start until a size 2. We’ve tried the So Danca ones but they seem quite stiff and wide. Help please!! 🩰 Thank you so much 😊

Ballet Boost are/have started an associate programme in Newcastle under Lyme. They have a programme running in Hull (& elsewhere) at the moment. We can recommend that, as well as Elmhurst 🙂 http://www.balletboost.com/bba/

I’m not sure, but the times might be on the website. If not I am 100% sure they would tell you if you contacted them. It’s such a friendly and professional company.

Fantastic!! Go for it!! Have a lovely day xx

I hope your DD is feeling much better tomorrow, wishing her all good thoughts @HowMuch!

Thank you so much @Loulou 😊

At one of the most recent auditions (end of last year) there were 3 half scholarships awarded, rather than one full and one half. Well definitely for the Juniors anyway. On this, does anyone know if this makes any difference/has any impact at all once they start rehearsing? My DD was awarded one and is due to begin rehearsals soon. I think she’s slightly apprehensive that there will be some extra expectations. I’m not sure there will be but it’s best to be prepared!

Hello, if HopelessMummy doesn’t want this please can we buy it @Farawaydancer? Thank you 😊
