They fit very differently to their split sole ones! Not really sure what else to try ... Seems like it's boats or nothing! Oh no I am still waiting for mine gutting I thought they may be a better fit. I often shrink my DD shoes by washing them in the washing machine but canvas doesn’t shrink. I guess my daughters will be like boats as well. Edited September 4, 2020 by Ballet Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaF Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Oh no this is not good news! I've failed to find a stretch canvas full sole so was going to order the So Danca pair. At least they're all in the same boat (shoes) 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeliciousMoo Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I may have missed this in all the info sent over but is there a required hair style for girls? Bun vs cross plaits?!? Bows? Ribbons? 🤷 Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Most girls wear a normal ballet bun (some with a royal blue ribbon) and a few wear the royal ballet crossed over plaits with royal blue or white bows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they will probably reside in her bag and see whether she can get away with a more flattering shoe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 My order is still all on back order so apart from shoes that I got elsewhere, dd will have to wear her usual dance kit. Has anyone heard any updates on when they’re likely to be back in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD and her friend (who is a boy) go to Elmhurst and are moving into yr 5 in September so we should see you there! I thought you might be the person to ask given your familiarity with the school and area.. Ad the classes are only 1hr15min for now, do you know if Edgbaston has a small ‘high street’ area nearby, or if it’s a quicker to drive back into Birmingham for a coffee? I fear 75 minutes waiting in the car might drive me slightly mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually walk to 'The Mac' for a coffee and they also do breakfast, cake etc, it is a local art centre and I'm really hoping it will be open. There is nowhere else walkable that I know of.

I just had a peek on the website but unfortunately it says MAC will remain closed to the public until 2021. Such a shame for that organisation.

Spamcat Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Oh that is a shame, it is such a lovely place to sit and have a coffee and chat with the other parents. Oh well we can still do that after the restrictions have ended! There is always a Lidl supermarket, you could do your shopping to kill the boredom! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaF Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Though DD is just starting Elmhurst YDs we’ve previously been at the school for other things and can recommend a quick hop into Moseley which is not far past the MAC. Otherwise there’s the Plough at the top of Harborne or Boston Tea Party which has a couple of branches nearby. Wondering how much time we’ll actually have though as the isn’t that long... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently drop off is 5 minutes before class starts (info to go out this evening so I’m told), and collection is a few minutes after. So that’s at least an hour of adult escapism 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahG1881 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi everyone. my DD starts year 4, on Saturday apparently but we’ve had no information of timings etc yet. Has anybody else received any? I have childcare I need to arrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Sorry don't know about yr4. Yr5 is split into 2 classes at 8.45 and 10.30 so I'm pretty sure yours will be similar times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did email to politely ask about drop off times this afternoon, and was told they’re very busy working on that and will hopefully update everyone tonight or tomorrow. It sounds like a logistical nightmare getting everyone safely in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @Spamcatsaid, I did see in a letter the younger dancers will be in the mornings and the older ones in the afternoons so it can’t be much different.

In at the deep end Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 @SarahG1881 we had an email this afternoon, didn't you? Yr4 is 08.45-10am. No jazz class this term. Loads of info and forms to fill in! I would contact the school if you haven't received anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It is a shame they couldn’t start this week. Fingers crossed it’s able to run next week. This is what I’ve been worrying about happening, not just with this, but school and normal dance classes, just as the children are starting to get some normality back. Trying not to think too far ahead at the moment and just do everything as safely as we can and hope we’re not constantly being sent home for burst bubbles.

They finally have some normality back it would be horrible for them to lose it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
