For sale: RB insight What Makes an RB Dancer 27/3
Hambleton replied to annamk's topic in Ticket Exchange & Special Offers
I would have these if still available please? -
Good points!
-
Probably my DS lol

Don't dress like a student, or wear any sort of 'school uniform'. Get him to have a look on Instagram or whatever at the Company's company class and copy what they are wearing so he looks like he would fit right in and make an easy transition from school to company. Might not make a shred of difference, but at least he will look the part, which may help him feel and act the part, I think

Happy New Year from The Mods
Hambleton replied to Sim's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Thank you from me too. You are much appreciated -
Dancia sell the So Danca SD16. Another excellent shoe but does not come in older teen sizes, so DS swapped to Capezio Hanami. The material in the So Dancas wears better, so the shoes may last longer. So Dancas not available in flesh colour, which DS prefers, so choice is black or white for boys.
-
Capezio Hanami’s from the Capezio shop. 100% recommended by my professional (at last ! Yay) dancer DS. Other dancers often ask him where he got them. And pre-sewn elastics (double Yay). Dancia are a great shop too if the Capezios aren’t liked for any reason.

Royal Ballet School holding more international auditions
Hambleton replied to DD Driver's topic in Doing Dance
The quote from Christopher Powney was from a dancing times interview before he joined the school. Hopefully now he has met many more British students in person at the school, he may have had his mind changed? Matthew Ball’s father wrote a brilliant letter printed in Dancing Times as a response. I can’t find it now ... I have a DS who graduated last year from RBS Upper School, and I personally know of zero British students resting on their laurels at RBS or other schools. The reverse actually, as they’re usually playing catchup with international students, who’ve often been homeschooled for years to concentrate on their dancing (rightly or wrongly). -
Which companies generally prefer the tall/short dancers?
Hambleton replied to DD Driver's topic in Doing Dance
Men usually seem to be 5’10” minimum for a lot of European corps -
Thanks so much Julie for everything you have done for the forum. Please do keep popping in!

The teachers speak English, I believe, and the woman who runs it is bi-lingual. But good chance for DD to practice her French (at the shops, for example)?

Pont L'Abbe International Summer School in Brittany has been recommended to us in the past
