Congratulations to the DC with places! My DD has also been offered a place - she's very excited 😊. Bit of a random question, does anyone know if they are allowed to take hair dryers? 

Hairdryers are fine, but not hairspray or other aerosols because they set off the fire alarms… gel mist or pots of gel plus water spray and a stick deodorant are the way to go! 
 

(Sliders are also useful for getting to and from the showers!)

Hi quick question, the deposit is paid by parent pay which I've done but I haven't had any email confirmation that I've paid, other than my bank says £50 paid to parentpay, doesn't even say Elmhurst. Has this been the same for any of you? Am I worrying uneccassrily as usual! 🤣

Yes same here

Hi, when i paid i received an email from platform@parentpay.com confirming receipt of payment and it does mention Elmhurst Ballet School with contact details for reference if there are any queries.

Thank you @SissonneDoublee. She'll be relieved 😀.  We'll put sliders on the "to get" list so thanks for the tip!!

Hi, are there any parents of junior summer school starting at the end of August with 13 years old dds? My dd would love to get in touch with some to make few friends before it starts so please pm me if you interested. She is already getting to know a couple of lovely girls from extended young dancers so it would be lovely to hear if there are more here. Many thanks! X

My DD (also just turned 12) is going, and doesn't know anyone, as far as she knows. Usually we find at these sorts of events that she does actually recognise someone from a different summer school or EYB or her associates, and they sometimes take ages trying to work out where they'd met before!

My daughter is there now and amusing me with WhatsApp updates in every break 😁

 

I wish I’d found this forum earlier and told her to save her black leotard for the final day, but never mind! She’ll just have to wear it again if she needs to. 
 

The list of things to take could have been much better if they’d said no hairspray or spray deodorant and if they needed a particular colour of clothes for the sharing of work 🙄 I hope someone else is sharing hair gel or something with my DD or she’ll have a very messy bun 😆
