  1. My granddaughter always viewed festivals as performance opportunities and a means of not only presenting solo performances but learning to dance as part of groups, duets and trios. She was always interested to listen to adjudicators comments but fully realised they could vary so. What she valued above all was her teachers comments on her performance and her own assessment of her performance. On one occasion she was not happy with her performance did win the section and another girl from her school said why are you not happy, you won, and she replied but winning was not the point, I wasn't happy with it.
  2. I spent several minutes wondering about my sanity!
  3. What I found most off putting on the times I have seen this Company was the dancers lacked any expression in their dancing and seemed very tired. Their touring schedule seems really punishing for the dancers.
  4. Contact the airline, they helped my Granddaughter with advice re hers.
  5. Thanks for doing this and have a Happy Christmas
  6. The most important thing in life is to be happy and there are many and often unexpected ways of achieving this.
  7. It's the line under the one that begins Forums, the one beginning Home: The Forums/About/ problems that are al visible but the next one which is contact one is greyed out.. Is this the one you are talking about as I can't see another, sorry to be so dim
  8. A hugely talented man of great integrity, our loss very much South Africa's gain. Full of admiration for him.
  9. This can unfortunately also be a problem at some non vocational schools. Of course it is easier than facing it day and night and away from home and you can more easily move schools but it can still be very damaging to a child as can bullying anywhere and in any form. This can mean a pupil leaving a much loved teacher which understandable they do not want to do.
  10. I think classes are held at Penshurst Village Hall and she teaches Ceccheti and has had several Ceccheti Scholars. I had this information from a while back so you may need to check
  11. Judith Wilson is very good and caring. Near Tunbridge.
  12. Hopefully things have changed as in the 80's my child was being bullied at a Vocational School and when I spoke to them about it the response from the Houseparent was" Never mind it will be someone else's turn next week" ! Thankfully an older pupil sorted it out.
  13. I am sure if you emailed them they could answer your question
  14. Central School holiday courses always seem to have good feedback
  15. The late and very great Susan Robinson was passionate about both ballet and football. An inspirational teacher who made a massive contribution to the ballet world and is so missed.
  16. And my point was that I am not sure it's value for money wherever and what ever you study for such a small number of contact hours (pre virus restrictions) Just my view.
  17. This was a degree in Media Studies and not at either Oxford or Cambridge
