  4. If you go on the Ballet West Scotland webb site the Apiring Professional link is on there. Johnathon Barton is my dd teacher at BW and she says he is amazing. Ballet West Utah Principal dancers come over sometimes and dance in BW ballet Tours.
  5. What they should do in these competitions is mark them down for any inappropriate moves or music in their routines. This would bring appropiate dancing back in line very quickly.

  11. I think that is absolutely terrible and on the verge of cruelty to make that young girl cry like that. She could damage her poor little body if she was crying. why are so many mums pushy? Sorry but I would have said 'excuse me but do you know your daughter is crying as you're hurting her'. We all help our children but not to that extent.

  15. Its great ti look back at past experiences, here goes: Ds sister was always doing workshops at RBS and ENB. Ds said he wanted to do one. One came up at RBS (trying to keep this short) Day came to go, I am in bed ill, so dad leaves early to take him from Didcot Parkway railway. My last words were 'good luck and don't be late!' 3/4's hour later I call him (thinking they are at Paddington) and they are still sat on the train at Didcot Parkway. Someone had jumped in front of a train ahead of them near Reading. Panic set in, feeling sick for ds. Eventually they got to Covent Garden and Lifts weren't working......ds ran up all those stairs with dad in tow"(. Got to RBS, Miss Wade was waiting and was really nice and ds only missed warm up. I wrote to Miss Wade and said: Dear Miss Wade, Sorry Ds was late but someone jumped in front of the train ahead of ds and dad's train leaving 45 mins late. When they got to Covent Garden they had to run up the stairs as lifts were out of order. So all in all ds said 'that was his warm up he missed' although his dad thought different, ( he was a little hot to say the least). Ds son had a lovely day, thankyou. Yours.... 2 days later Ds dad got a call from Miss Wade saying my letter was the high light of their day, made them all laugh in office at RBS. If ds had not attended workshop that day ds would not be going to WL, as on this day Miss Wade asked ds's dad to bring him for an audition for JA's.
  16. There is only my ds and another that can do box splits in his class and he is 3rd year JA. Some can just about do splits.
  17. Got them from RAD Freed stirruped Tights - Junior and Intermediate (800BT) in black. They are £17.50.
  18. Lights out at 9. He has had a letter from his buddy at WL telling him about WL and a timetable. They might be falling asleep in their dinner!
