We were SWL last year and were told by DDs teacher that those offers come in via phonecall rather than email. It was the case for friends we know too. So one time Sylvia from RBS had to ring me about an insight day, she opened with “I’m really sorry this isn’t The Phonecall, but...” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: Has anyone bought the uniform already? We've bought the uniform. Odd shape leotard (my DS is skinny though) - loose at crotch and arms but not very long in length. The shorts are very short and tight too (shorter than we are used to) so I suggest opting toward sizing up on waist (my son's waist measures 20" and on advice of the dance shop I went with 22"). We also have the zip up sweater too - my DS is 9 but small, we opted for 7-8yrs and it's still roomy so should last a while. Not bothering with joggers as I've heard they are just standard navy joggers and come up wide - we'll look out for slimmer ones, probably from supermarket/high street school uniform ranges. I'm yet to buy character shoes even though we do need them for DS' other associate programme (RBS have said best to wait till their teacher tells us if they need them). There's a separate thread for RBS newbies btw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBoyMumma Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It does look lovely once on though. My DS showed his teacher and she was quite fond of how it fits so he'll just have to get used to it (the shorts are cut like Bridget Jones pants, much shorter at the front, which I thought looked odd but she said really shows off their legs). It all arrived in just two days from order - I was very impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Eschler Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 #BalletBoyMumma thank you ever so much for the info. That is exactly what I needed to know. Super useful, it sounds like my son has a similar built to yours, so very helpful. what other Associate programme is he doing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say 2/3 weeks, but that's because they have to make the skirt. I can't wait for it to arrive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only once a month and he really loves the style (and loved the taster day and audition) so we've decided to give it a go too. Some weekends are going to be incredibly busy for us but he's super excited about it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJP Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Quick question! My DD has her first class tomorrow in London. I had it in my head that we had to arrive 45 mins early for the first week in order to have a talk from the teacher. However, I've just checked the letters/emails, and I can't see that anywhere? Just that we have to stay for the first 45 mins for the talk? I just want to check if we need to be there early of not, does anyone know? having a last minute panic!
