Derin's Mom

yes for the last 3 years. Her instep is comparatively low and she needs to work of foot flexibility more than others. But since she has been injured once she does those execises sooo carefully and intelligently. And her ankle strength has improved. We really would like to understand why this is happening.

Hello. My DD (13) who is a full time ballet student, is facing a bone marrow edema (a step before stress fracture) for the second time in 2 years' time. The injury is on the most common part, the 2nd metatars of the foot. She has not gone through puberty, and she is growing fast. She has a thin body and her bones are definitely more thinner compared to her peers. She definitely has a very good diet, does not lack calcium. Only D vitamin is low. And we are supporting this. We have seen doctors, gone through physiotherapy last time after the treatment weeks (off from ballet) but we are keen to understand why this happens this often to her. She has recently achieved an audition abroad, she is an aspiring student but these pull-backs affect her emotions and her performance as well. Any similar experiences, how you have gone through this, and any specific reasons why some face it more than others? Thank you

Hello. I know the school, we'll get a private course for my DD (13) this week there as well. The teachers are experienced in their profession but the school is new. You can contact them and feel free to ask, I suppose.

Dear Sam, This has been more than helpful. I am happy to hear some inside information. As I understand, the level of the school is very satisfactory. The school my DD attends now is in Vaganova method but she is learning the French technique as well on private lessons. Her current school is very competent but the possibilities of finding good jobs in Turkey is so low. This is why we want her to continue her study abroad. We live in Istanbul and could not attend an open day before. For boarding weekends, we have the uncle living there. So let's cross fingers for this March. The only question I have, what does a re-do of the first year mean? Did she fail to pass the first year at the end and had to repeat, or else?

As far as I know, they don't. But POB summer school is a possibility, my DD has done it twice there.

Hello. M DD (13) will audition for CNSMDP (National Conservatoire Superior de Paris) in March when she is 14. She is currently training full time in MSGSU State Conservatoire in Istanbul, Tr. She has auditioned for POB last year and was selected up to the final level (in 12 students out of 200 but could get into the first 3). They adviced her to try CNSMDP. Do you have any experience in this? - what is the audition level, will it be considered difficult to enter? - they require B1 but she may not receive it, but she can get an A2 then. Are they flexible in this? - how is dormitory? - any idea about the graduates' selecting companies afterwards? Your input will be very helpful. Thank you
