I parked in Maude Street car park, and there is a fair bit of 'on street' parking around there on 'the calls' ... if i can work out how to get to the calls !!! 😁 ( cost me less than quarry hill too! ) although I felt a bit conspicuous sitting in my car reading! I did think about Edward Street/Templar Street, but as DD has to be there for 12.45(ish) for vocal and then finishes at 5.30, or even later when there is the pointe class, it was too long to park there without it costing a small fortune! 

I'll be dropping off and then parking too in winter, although picking up was chaos. Will have to ensure DD actually puts some clothing on to leave the building 😅

DD wasn't too impressed about dancing in a mask, she assumed the wearing of a mask at all times was outside of classes! ! She didn't like singing in a mask either. How was your DD about it?

My dd thought the same as yours and certainly wasnt expecting to have to wear mask for dancing, she wasnt impressed especially with it being a hot day yesterday.  I guess they will get used to it and hopefully Northern Ballet might change their guidelines soon.  I hadnt even thought about them singing in a mask, that must be really strange for them.

My dd also finishes at 5.30 so must be in same group as yours and it was chaos yesterday and can only imagine it will get worse as weather gets bad and more people will be in cars rather than walking back to cars.

 

She did love being back though and still came out buzzing as she does after every scholars session so its all worth it!!

My dd just started scholars, she absolutely LOVES the ballet and pointe but hates the jazz 😖 anyone else’s child the same?

DD found the Jazz hard to start with,  as it is very technical and different to anything she had done before, but now loves it.

I know, nightmare. Luckily I knew about it as there wasnt any when dd did the summer intensive, sorry didnt think to put it on here.  I parked in Templar Street car park behind Sports Direct, cheaper than I used to pay at Quarry Hill and only a 5 min walk to Northern Ballet.  Think I will be dropping off and then parking in the winter months though as cant imagine dd being very happy walking in her leotard, haha

What did your dd think about dancing in masks?

I park in Crown Point retail park a few minutes away (free) and grab a coffee have a browse around the shops

Yes I have discovered that aswell, good selection of shops and a Costa with free parking. It never seems that busy either so can always get parked. Only a few sessions left for us now as DD starting full time at Renaissance in sept xx
