DanceMummsy Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Hi - is anyone from the old cast of CYBC re-auditioning for next year? It's Sleeping Beauty! My little ballerina enjoyed the whole process/experience of being a cast member for Coppelia so much and of course learning/dancing/performing - she can't wait to re-audition. Miss Catie was such an inspiration to the whole cast with her realms of experience. Who's in again? :-) 1
Jan McNulty Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Hello Dancemummsy and welcome to the Forum. I have moved your topic to Doing Dance, where our dancing parents post about their dcs. I have also removed your duplicate topic. Do let us know how your dd gets on. 1
DancyB Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Hi, yes my daughter can't wait! She had such a great time rehearsing for and performing in Copellia. She made lots of new friends. Do you know when the auditions are? 1
DanceMummsy Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Great! AUDITIONS are on Sunday 13 December at the Stageworks Studios in St Neots, Cambridgeshire - not long to go... can't wait to start the whole process again and Sleepy Beauty should be fun! :-) The costumes were beautiful for Coppelia and the stage lighting amazing.. can't wait to see the whole production of Sleeping Beauty the ballet - hope my little ballerina gets through again :-)
DancyB Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks for the info. Yep, I especially liked the flowing Waltz of the Flowers costumes from the Gala second half. And wasn't the stage lighting fantastic throughout! All the juniors took great delight in keeping secret the Miss Fusspot piece???? 1
Anna C Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Welcome to the forum, DanceMummsy and DancyB. :-) 1
w445403 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Not sure if my DS will audition again, (he was Dr Coppellius). I enjoyed the show and will be sad if he decides not to but he's got a lot on next year. 1
DancyB Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 It would be good if he does audition again; he was a great Dr Coppelius! Have you seen the CYBC website yet? www.cybcompany.co.uk 1
Anna C Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Here's a link to the website: http://www.cybcompany.co.uk 1
DanceMummsy Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 WOW! Hadn't seen the CYBC website.. thanx Anna C... the photos capture the hardwork, fun and professionalism of all the cast... Well done CYBC!!! :-) 1
DancyB Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I think it's thanks to the tutors too. The confidence and stage presence of my little dancer has come on leaps and bounds ... Excuse the pun!
Born again dance Mum Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 The Cambridge Youth Ballet Company is such a wonderful opportunity for ballet dancers to perform. My daughter looked forward to every Sunday rehearsal and made some great friends. Her technique improved significantly....but this was natural progress not forced. She also developed her skills within contemporary 'lyrical' dance, which she now loves. The performance of Coppelia was magical & they were all fantastic. Everyone is talking about the auditions for the new production 'Sleeping Beauty'....my bet is that it will be very popular! If anyone is interested visit the website: www.cybcompany.co.uk 1
Anna C Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Welcome to the forum, Born again Dance Mum. :-)
wildflowers Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Had a look at the website, lovely, but can't see how much it costs? Can anyone advise? 1
DancyB Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I think the audition is £15. Applications from Yvette@stageworksstudio.co.uk
Born again dance Mum Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I have no idea what the overall cost is this year. Last year it was between £500- £600.It is expensive, but that was for 42 weeks training (3hrs a week), costumes, additional final rehearsals and admin. Hoping that the fees are no higher this year though!
DanceMummsy Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Only 2 days to go... auditions for CYBC are on Sunday.. I have one very excited little ballerina! :-) Will be really nice to see some of the old cast members and really nice to see some new members too! Getting excited! :-)
DancyB Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, my little dancer is so very excited too; can't wait to see everyone again and looking forward to making new friends. 1
DancyB Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 WOW, what a buzz at the auditions today! My Little Dancer has been showing me the exercises they did, all afternoon -she's still on a high. I hope she's got through again.
DanceMummsy Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 Well my little ballerina got through again! HHOORRAAYYY! Great first session of new term for CYBC... Back to 3 hours of dancing on a Sunday.. Sleeping Beauty here we come... YAY! :-) 4
Lisa O`Brien Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Congratulations to your daughter,DanceMummsy. How old is she and how long has she been dancing for? 1
DanceMummsy Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 She's 10 and probably been dancing for 4/5 ish years :-) She just loves it!!! :-) 1
DancyB Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Isn't it great. My little dancer was thrilled to pass the audition for Sleeping Beauty and had a fab time at the first class today. She's already excited for the performance in October 2
annaliesey Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Hope you don't mind my bumping this thread but just to say my dd did her second class/rehearsal there this week and absolutely loves it 1
w445403 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Hope you don't mind my bumping this thread but just to say my dd did her second class/rehearsal there this week and absolutely loves it Does she have Stephen taking class? I know how much he enjoys it and - I know I'm biased - he's really good with the younger ones
annaliesey Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 No I don't think so, at least not so far. She's been with Catie Entwhistle today and says it's been a real treat Sounds like your DS had a good experience
Loulabelle Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Ooh Catie Entwhistle, lovely lady! A blast from the past, she used to be head of Tring CBA when my DD first started there. I was only wondering the other day what she is doing now!???? 1
