I can’t attach them so will try by PM.

Hello, My daughter is selling 1) a pale peach with lace shoulders Ballet Rosa leotard. Lined. Size S (25£ p’+ PP) 2) Collective Dancewear sage green with yellow abd green flowers. Lined. Size S (15£ + PP) Can send photos separately.

Teaching is excellent. Accommodation is very good is in twin en-suite rooms or twin rooms with shared facilities. All on one campus with canteen and studios. Some activities for kids but if they take the full schedule of classes there isn’t much room for more than dinner and a movie.

Hello and thank you so much for your reply. It’s great to hear from you that you feel it’s a very rounded school. We are absolu aware that odds of gaining places are very slim, but are initially looking at it as a summer intensive that gives her a different perspective to the British ones and European ones and to experience the teaching styles. so with the summer course three classes a day is about 4.5 hours? Seems plenty to me if they are working at a high level and did your daughter board during summer? If so did they then keep them selves entertained and have a chance to see Toronto? As for the main school, in the tiny hope she got a place, I have a few questions: - how big are the years groups/classes - how are job prospects viewed - do most dancers manage to graduate or are many assessed out - what does a timetable look like at age 16ish (year 11) in terms of hours on academics/hours dance and hours of classical versus contemporary Sorry to bombard you but across the pond is all completely new to us. thank you so much. best wishes, alexia

Hello, would anyone have any experience of the summer intensive/audition for full time and the full time programme for 15 year olds. Curious to find out if it’s a month worth doing? thank you

That’s interesting. Any insight to why Elmhurst isn’t in there and/or thoughts on best UK upper schools (of course it’s very individual) for a classical bias with contemporary?

Hello, Is it true now that year groups are on average 30 now at Elmhurst? I’d love some insight into that if anyone currently has a child in upper school. How does that work? thank you

This is very useful reading. Thank you. For those with current and very recent experience of Elmhurst Upper, I’d very much appreciate trying hearing more about: - timetable (dance hours per day/what dance etc) - performances and competitions - general atmosphere (though v subjective) etc Trying to get as full a picture as possible thank you

That’s interesting. Does that then mean a self-financing student has greater chance of getting a place?

Hello, i couldn’t find a thread about ENB, so hope ok to start. Would love to hear recent experiences of the summer intensive (level, teachers, class size etc) and also any feedback on the main school. in context my 14 yo daughter been offered SI (currently at voc school in France). thank you

I’m looking to buy these second hand for my daughter (just to use for thé summer) so any reasonable condition. Thank you

Hello, what’s the waist size and length please? Thanks

Hello, how tall is your daughter who wore this? I can’t currently measure mine as not back from boarding school. Thank you (and is the waste an accurate size?)

DD lucky enough to have two weeks at the RBS summer Intensive this year. One of the questions is whether you want them to be ‘observed’ for full-time education. It then goes on to say this doesn’t replace an audition class but gives no further info (and I got the same answer when I asked directly). Could anyone shed any light on how this works (we hadn’t previously applied via video as financial situation was different). Thank you

Thank you for your really useful responses. All makes sense to to rational adult, but feels like the ultimate ballet démotivation to my poor daughter. She needs to ask why...I know.
