A three Sunday competition moved everything into two days because my DD's dance school couldn't attend on the third Sunday.

I spent two years running between competitions and MTB and really tried hard not to miss either. Unfortunately we had to miss some MTB as my dd's dance school had our prior commitment. Also when my dd did get to MTB she found that her group hadn't done anything not even a warm up ( my dd's assessment not mine).

Does anyone know what time on Sunday's level 2 is please?

I am so happy my DD got in to MIDAS. Level 2, not sure what it means but we are so happy

My dd also loved it. Just can't wait for the results now. While waiting for my dd to finish audition one of the other mothers was talking and said that she received feed back last year about her dd. Not sure if this is correct but it would be good to know.

I just wanted to say good luck to all those who audtioned today for Midas

2dancersmum is there something similar for IDTA please

If you do find out how to clean a tutu professionally can you please post how?

I am no expert but my daughter has done both ballet and gymnastics at the same time. Both of which she enjoys. my DD can do splits 3 ways in both dance and gym. Her gym teachers were regulated and had a professional body of which they were members. they also had badges which progressed from stage 9 upwards. The teachers did gently press down (more like press and release) when the children were doing splits if they felt that the child could do a little better.

thank you Annie. Your post made me cry and also gave me hope

I totally agree spannerandpony. One persons quirky is another person normality

AS people can do anything they want to do the problems start when they do not want to do things that they have to. The statement above does not make sense but it will to those dealing with AS

Its not just vocational students that do this.

There is a zoo near by

Not sure If this applies but a student union card which is about £11 will get you money off certain things, food from the Co-op, clothes, stationary and train costs are just some items

Languages have evolved and devolved over the years both written and spoken. English spellings were optional until after the print press. Britain is only a small country but different parts have different words for different things and even your age and peers and family will have sayings that only apply to yourselves.

Silly question but how do you store your tutu's ? My dd's usual tutu's I store by pulling the leotard part inside out and the 'tutu' part is then caught in the leotard and stored in a bag but how do you store yours.

I really should ask dd's teacher's as suggested but they are soooooo busy.

My dd does not have a " natural turn out" ( I have been told). I know that the hips have to be turned out rather than the knees but I can't tell if my dd's hips are turned out or not. Any tips.

Thank you all for your advice.

It is not her main class and its been going on for a couple of months, I am not sure how many there are in her class but I think it is about 15-20. "there is always something which can be improved" that's what I thought and I assumed that she had been corrected The class' are based on age and were auditioned before attending and the teachers are not easily accessible

My dd age 11 has said that she is not getting corrected in a ballet class. Would this mean that she is 1. getting everything right and not being stretched 2. not being seen doing it wrong 3.the teacher believing that she can not do better than she already is and so not being corrected 4. my daughter not realising that she is being corrected Any one any ideas ?

I use a laundry pen in ballet shoes, leo's and on the bottom of tap shoes. Its from mothercare and I don't have to rewrite for at least a year or more

Picturesinthefirelight please post your lists it would be so helpful

I took CSE's and O' Levels at school but when I tried to go to university 5 years ago I had to do an adult course consisting of GCSE equivalent of Maths English and Science's all of which I had taken already. I always thought academia results were for ever but this proved me wrong
