  1. Benedicte is a beautiful dancer, she stood out from day one of joining the company. Love her partnerships with Joe Caley! I only ended my TAB subscription last year when I moved to the UK. Heard rave reviews from friends of Marcus Morelli in A Midsummer Night's Dream and not surprised he was promoted.
  2. What are you willing to pay? My daughter has some brand new unworn Gaynor Mindens for sale.
  3. They're worth it - they last for quite a while. Made a huge difference to my daughter.
  4. Have you tried PerfectFit Pointe inserts? You get a kit and create your own inserts using a mould. My daughter tried the usual toe pads and taping but these solved her problem.
  5. I have 3 leotards to sell: 1 x XS Eleve leotard brown, high neck, long sheer black sleeves, cutout I’m back. Can supply photo £15 plus postage 1 x SA Balera leotard, has high neck and zip back. V insert has black sheer over flesh and back also has this. (I’m struggling to describe it but can supply photos!) £20 plus postage 1 x Grishko Bolshoi stars leotard in black/turquoise. Label says size 10, fits Adult petite/CXL Has 3/4 sheer sleeves and v back. Stunning lines £20 plus postage. Photos available.
  6. Two pairs of brand new unworn Gaynor Minden pointe shoes for sale. Both pairs are 11- Med 5 Box - Extra-Flex Shank Deep Vamp High Heel One pair is luxe satin (£85) and the other pair is £75. More photos can be supplied, these were the only two that would upload within the size limit! Photos of luxe satin pair were too big. Postage from Leeds at buyer's expense.
  7. A lot of people in Australia and New Zealand just fly with them as their hand luggage in a tutu bag. It seems to be allowed by airlines.
  8. Congratulations and all the best for your future! I think you have made the right choice also
  9. I am not 100% sure but I think they start every day with ballet class at NSCD though not pointework. I'm afraid my DD's pointework fell by the wayside. I would guess that Rambert is the only contemporary (ish) school where you would still do pointework. At the end of the day only you can decide which one is right for you.
  10. This is very disappointing. I loved Kunstkamer and was going to get my contemporary DD tickets to see it, but not sure she will want to trek to London for Jewels.
  11. Congratulations! I found this forum when my DD was making a similar decision - NSCD or Laban. She chose NSCD and has never regretted it. She also tried out for LCDS, made the finals but not the final selection - that would have been her first choice so I would recommend going with your gut and choosing LCDS. It is a smaller cohort I believe than Laban. Both have beautiful facilities though.

    Age

    When my dd started at NSCD there were students of different ages including a 26 year old. You could also try the various MAs on offer from some institutions such as NSCD or London Contemporary (presumably also Trinity Laban?).
  13. It's not the first time their chosen one didn't get through to the finals - another student from a few years ago is now dancing in TAB and did not get to the finals, she was a lovely dancer too.
  14. Yes I've noticed it in the last couple of years. Our local eisteddfod introduced it as part of their senior championship (it used to be a requirement to dance a classical and either Demi, contemporary or Character). How many hours does your dancer do? I've been very surprised to hear that these kinds of hours aren't universal!
