Congratulations to you all!

We had a lovely afternoon watching the All England Gala on Sunday and supporting some of dc friends. We thought the standard of dancing was exceptional and Lauretta Summerscales even performed which was a lovely surprise. Congratulations to all those that danced in that beautiful venue!

Thanks I’ll check that, hope it’s not much longer!
-
Anyone know when the results will be emailed?

Would love to find someone who stocks the Mdm ballet flats!
-
Is there a new director?
-
Yes this happened last summer
-
I was told by someone they had been sent to the dancing times, interesting.
-
Let’s hope it does go in August!!!

There has been a big article about ybss in this months edition but no mention of scholarships, which must be the first year ever. Must be disappointing for those that received them bearing in mind all other years printed.I can’t see it going in Augusts as it is usually June I believe. Congratulations to your dc.

In the past we’ve been in the one up the narrow stairs near the changing room, not sure if they use more than one studio

Was this Manchester balletbean?

I think the info regarding the genee is incorrect
-
Has anyone had an update to their place since May?
-
I did a quick quote with axa and is coming up at approx £85 month? Does that seem about right?
-
Definitely y11 with auditions and finals which go on right up to the end of March and then there are GCSEs to focus on! Be prepared and ready early!

It’s really about quality training, my dc was doing approx 8 hours week and has been successful at gaining a place at upper school for this year.

Well I disagree! You cannot say my points are not relevant.

Some qualifiers are perhaps closer to dance schools than others maybe, for us our nearest was an hour away. If this is the same for others it possibly reduces the number of group dances. Some dance schools are smaller, some new to this so don’t have as many entries. Some schools maybe aware of sections that always have less entries so may create dances for those sections- just a thought. For the sections I watched I witnessed some beautiful and strong dancing and did agree on the whole with placings. Good luck to those who did make finals, i hear the southern regionals were very good too. Sorry to those who are disappointed too, my experience of adjudication is always like this. I was just proud my dc did their best. Dance has got to be one is the hardest things to judge, unlike other sports where it’s down to clear goals etc.

There were 41 different schools entered for m/n region

I’m sure you agree it’s about going out and doing your best too! Like I said I was only briefly there with my child, the dance world is tough but we have to move on positively and teach our children it’s the right thing to do even if we do think they should have been given a place .
-
I’m sorry you feel this way. All we can ever ask is that out dancers do their best and although hard at times, remember it is personal opinion, although with 3 judges you would hope it would be accurate. We never know what they see and how they decide.
-
I have briefly been at m/n regionals and from what I have seen I pretty much agreed with adjudication. I’m no expert though!
-
Does anyone know of anyone successful at Elmhurst upper 6:1 that is new to the school?
-
Boarding is tough so if you live nearby I would definitely do that!
