    How does that work in terms of ordering if they are in IG? Sorry, I have never purchased this way before..lol
  2. expatballetmom
    My DD loves Virtisse (and she's tried Bloch, Capezio, and Freeds) but where do you find them in the UK? We buy stock when we are back in the U.S. would love to just purchase them here if possible.

    Not being from UK but currently living in the UK, I have another question which I hope isn't too confusing- could you possibly not do the Trinity Diploma for example, and just do A levels or an Intl Baccalaureate or a U.S. online school or is that not possible?

    Curious if like other summer intensives they scout for year round programs at the summer intensive- has anyone ever heard of this happening? or offer direct entry awards like with RBS?
  5. expatballetmom
    Exactly, with little in the way of actual program info and levels it sometimes feels like we are making a decision in the dark but at minimum I trust it will be good exposure to the school ahead of any upper school auditions.

    Hi- Does anyone have experience with the ENB Associates program? DD has received an offer for Mid Associate and just curious what the student experience is like as they said more info would be sent out later regarding the program but would love a heads up! (Any info on class size and levels, class offerings, any performance opportunities?) Much appreciated!

    we've had to decline due to coflicting schedules w/ other SIs so will definitely be spaces freed up! good luck all!

    Emails for waitlisters seem to be out! Good luck everyone!

    Thank you so much! I hadn't heard of this school before and will look them up. May I ask were you able to sample or get a feel for the online instruction before you comitted to it?
  10. expatballetmom
    Thank you all so much for the feedback! This gives us a lot to think about!

    I am curious if anyone has experience with switching to an online school environment for vocational ballet students Year 9 and above. It's something we've considered due to the flexibility it would afford for my DD to attend summer intensives and other training opportunities abroad. What are some of the leading online UK schools? Thank you in advance.

    This seems like a silly question but if most don't get assessed out how many spots are there really for new students? How many students are in a mid associate class typically?
  13. expatballetmom
    results out!!
  14. expatballetmom
    A happy yes here too! Would anyone be able to share their experience in the junior program? It's a bit shorter than most intensives ... what can they expect?
  15. expatballetmom
    Yes they do! My DD has been to Ellison SI and thoroughly loved the challenge and training environment. We didn't use the accommodation so I wouldn't be able to give you a review on that.
  16. expatballetmom
    That is amazing to hear! My DD is 13 and we are considering whether to let her go also for the first time. I really appreciate the feedback!

    Wondering if anyone has experience with Natl Dutch Ballet Academy SI for the 12-14 age group. It's only a week and wondering what the level of training is like etc. Thanks!
  18. expatballetmom
    not yet! still waiting but they did just close their application deadline..
  19. expatballetmom
    I think they its a great first intensive and everything you've said is true but if you want to be in NYC for the summer you can be assured to be dancing everyday and would use the opportunity to also take classes elsewhere while in NYC.

    Has anyone heard results from Elmhurst SI Auditions lately?
  21. expatballetmom
    email last year and unexpectedly late in june so you never know!!
  22. expatballetmom
    I don't know if anyone has gotten emails about RBS summer si but my DD had a direct entry award for this summer at WL and we just got the official email about registration info etc. Maybe this means letters out today or soon? Good luck to all!
  23. expatballetmom
    Hi- We sent in an application for EBS SI and this may sound like a basic question but was there an application fee or a return confirmation email once submitted? A confirmation # flashed on screen but I didn't receive a confirmation email. I emailed them to inquire but haven't heard back. Also, as an aside, any experiences with Elmhurst Si for a 13 yr old. It says its a three day intensive only so curious how much dancing is involved and if there are levels. Thanks!
  24. expatballetmom
    Thank you for the insight! I suppose it's similar to any major pre-prof ballet school! Just curious are the numbers similar in the associates schemes? Do they also get assessed out along the way?
  25. expatballetmom
    Wow, 150 in that age group? My 13 yr old must have been in that same group. Best of luck to everyone!!!
