If you get looks or comments from the teacher ask the teacher to show you how she wants it done. 

Is it possible to have the scarf please

silly question but do they need coat hangers?

My dd has just finished the MIDAS ss course and loved it. She liked the studios but the changing rooms were a bit small. She liked the different methods of teaching and was tired every day.  Lots of friendly students and teachers

Joy of Dance my dd also at Dr dance and loving it

when do we get the invoice for those who don't have a mds ? I received some letters today about singing/music lessons and extra drama lessons and need to know how much is this terms fees are before I commit

Hi Sarah

Can we have the tracksuit bottoms please?

My dd at Hammond in September in year 9

My teenage sons are like this but they don't do anything

I did look in Primark but could only find barely black and black. but I have found that what shops stock vary in different parts of the country

My dd very nervous at the moment. I can't seem to find grey tights except for wooly ones

How come our festivals and costumes are really cheap.

Custom made catsuits for a group are about £40-50 this was the most expensive

Brand new pancake Tutu was £80 only because I thought dd was worth it.

festivals solo's most expensive was £3.50 duet/Trio's £3 and troupes £2,75

Entry the most expensive was only £3

can the year 9's still use the blue??????

My dd teacher was in London Savoy at an audition with her children

Thank you Anna C. I'm a good girl and read the posts i could on soft blocks before posting my question

I think the other part of their business took over

swaybacksapphire - I have a lead on a place in the summer hols. Which is highly recommended by dance teacher. This place has stopped fitting recently and will be discounted. But if they don't have what is required I will try dancique in brum

my dd is only on her second pair of pointe shoes and I don't want to deshank her first ever pair of pointes so I need to get a new pair. So are they soft blocks fitted like pointes and are they about the same price or more expensive or cheaper?

MIDAS would be good

My dd audition for all four big dance schools for year 7 and got a no. Auditioned for MIDAS for a year 7 place got a yes. Auditioned for Elmhurst and Hammond for year 8 got a no. Stayed with MIDAS for year 8 and only reason not continuing got a place at Hammond for year 9

thank you Picturesinthefirelight your a brilliant source of information

What is the difference between the drama and dance tracksuit and polo shirt?

I can get a 2nd hand one but not sure if its the right one or not

I need the dance one

Well, your son's situation is specific, although I don't think it changes my view, presumably there was a previous head in place when you were considering his school. My general point is that you should hold the school accountable, I have never had trouble meeting a headmaster (or as I said, whomever is appropriate), but then as I have always paid full fees for my children's education I have a certain level of expectation of treatment - and that would certainly include not being lied to!

 

As I said, this is my philosophy, won't be for all.

Holding a school accountable is all very well in theory in practice its a different matter. I've never had a problem with meeting teachers, senco's, head's or even governor's but they never talk to one another, so you have to talk to all of them. And how do you hold a school accountable when most of it (education ) is not in their hands.

Any school fee paying or not you should have certain levels of expectation of treatment but if your child does not communicate that this is not the case until late or something happens later down the line how can you hold the school accountable. Schools and education change so quickly its hard to keep up

Thanks Snape
