FlexyNexy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Never heard of this event, unless it is F1 race. Shame it is not publicised more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy twinkle toes Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 1 is in the under 12s and the rest are in 12-14. It is around 2.5 hours for us but travel near there anyway for associates. Not much advertising about the event in Hinckley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It is new this year, but supported by some major UK Vocational schools and others from abroad. British Ballet Grand Prix website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Kitty Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 As you say it has not been well advertised other than on Facebook. Plenty of tickets still available to watch the finals but not too surprising as their web page doesn't even appear to mention that you can view and how to get tickets!

It's also publicised on Instagram although it's a relatively new account (launched February) and "only" has just over 3,500 followers so far. As SissoneDoublee says, there are some fairly eminent schools supporting it this year so I guess we'll see where it goes from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone did well but is a competition and so that is the way it goes. Took Dd1 to watch Aladdin as consolation and that took her mind off of it.🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopelessMummy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Best of luck. Kinda sucks for the juniors when there were only 15 dancing and 10 got through but we're looking forward to watching the finals.

Dancermum2003 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Can I ask a question that I hope isn’t controversial?? How can Judges adjudicate over their own pupils? I notice one if the winners attends a school that one of the Judges is Artistic Director of. I’m genuinely interested. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
