    DADA

    La sylphide posted a topic in Doing Dance

    I’m after some advice we are due to start looking at upper schools for DD to start sept 2024 I was just reading on DADA’s our work income will be within the income scales but we cashed in a large lump sum from a pension last month to extend the house and this would take us over the 90,000 for the year but it was a one off and wouldn’t obviously be happening every year. Would they include this in our income as we’ve been taxed on it?

    Thank you all I’ll have a look at these

    Hi my DD has really strong feet and we struggle to find pointe shoes that last! We started with Bloch then moved to r class and she’s now wearing the freed studio professional hards, these look lovely and she loves dancing in them but they are lasting 1-2 weeks max and is getting expensive. Someone suggested the new virtesse does anyone have any experience with them?

    If they are on the older side spare pointe shoes or jet glue. All classes other than general class are on pointe and DD’s pointe shoes died half way through we had to drop some off early Saturday morning so she could do the demonstration on pointe.

    DD’s just got back from week 1 and will be back again for week 3. She said they aren’t allowed to use the swimming pool this year. She didn’t take a gym mat as she didn’t use hers at Easter and was fine. she’s 15 and one evening went into Harrogate on the bus for dinner with her new friends she’d made, so if on the older side maybe some spending money 😂

    My DD is week 1 and week 3 so unfortunately can’t help, hope you find someone.

    We found out the week before for the Easter residential, they email who the class teachers and house parents will be.

    Hi, My DD decided on ENBS she’s currently year 10 and would like to audition there so she thought it would hopefully give her an insight. I wish they would send the info out so we have some idea though. I am hoping with the increased hours it is going to be better than peoples previous experiences she really enjoyed the audition.

    Hi, has anyone heard anything further? we emailed accepting the place before the deadline but didn’t get any confirmation or anything back. Panicking just in case the email didn’t go through. X

    DD said there were 34 at senior finals, I believe the application video was the same as the one they use for the upper school application. there were some vocational girls as well as current associates from RBS and Central.

    We are meant to be auditioning at central as well, but I think DD is going to accept the ENBS associates place . I’m now unsure whether we should email to say she’s not attending centrals audition or still go for the audition practice but I worry if she does end up being offered a place there as well and turns it down if it would count against her next year if she applies for their upper course. So hard to know what to do for the best!

    My daughters been offered a senior associate place I was just re-reading the application pack and I think they have changed the format the classes are going to be 3 1/2 hours and they will be studying the rambert contemporary syllabus on alternate weeks and character on the other weeks. It says they may be performance opportunities in the winter showcase and summer show as well.

    Hi my daughter wears a size small in most brands she’s a UK 4/6 she has both small and medium yumikos but prefers the mediums as she has a longer body and finds the straps on the small size irritate her.

    I don’t think the final payment dates have passed yet for a lot of them, so I would think there could still be some movement.
  15. La sylphide
    Hi did you end up doing this? We have received an application pack for this year but no definitive dates for the intensive or costs etc
  16. La sylphide
    Thank you, she’s been offered a few summer intensives so we were trying to weigh up which ones to accept. She met some girls at YBS who go to the Hammond so likes the idea of going to this one. X

    My DD is 15, she’s just done the Easter intensive, is a ballet boost senior associate and does the ABA London vocational programme. She started with them in September and we would never look back, the improvements she’s made are amazing, the teachers and all the staff are extremely encouraging and supportive.

    Hi does anyone have any experience with the Hammond classical summer intensive?
  19. La sylphide
    I think Hammond do a residential for the summer
  20. La sylphide
    Just got ours, we’ve got a yes 🥳

    A day of email refreshing again 🤣 the Easter results came out after 5pm so maybe these will be the same
  22. La sylphide
    Waitlist for us, she’s a bit disappointed after attending the spring course 😢
  23. La sylphide
    Still no email, thought we would have heard today 🙁

    If close to London the academy of balletic arts runs a vocational programme 5 afternoons a week alongside normal schooling. Amazing teachers and support for both parents and students.
