On another note, does anyone have any tips on pointe shoes for auditions and how different brands are viewed? My dd is wanting to wear Gaynor Minden, but a couple of people have said that this might not be well received by schools, because of the extra support they offer. Sounds over cautious to me, but she doesn't want to put them off. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!

hi everyone does anyone have any tips as to the best way to film the class / excercises required by Elmhurst and other schools for 16+ training ? we have a list of things she needs to perform, but do you just film on your phone and edit, or is there a special / better software that people use? thanks so much.

I am so grateful for this tip. I have not encountered thiese classes before, so am delighted. Thanks very much.

Hi everyone, OK, I'm new.... with lots of questions! My daughter is now Year 11, and about to apply for VT starting 2023. Two pressing issues; 1. Her current ballet school has just stopped offering Advanced F classes due to lack of numbers, and I am scrambling to fill in the gaps in her training. She is getting one class, but needs more support. On a waiting list at RAD - any other suggestions in London? Thanks. 2. What are Vocational training institutions looking for in a 16 yr old applicant? What should she be doing NOW to increase her chances of getting in? Thanks SO much
