Karen Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Is anyone else's dc going on Wednesday? Dd is travelling with a friend so we won't be there at drop off, but it would be great to meet some ballet.coers on Friday at the performance. Dd is excited and is looking forward to it hugely! It's a new venture so hope it will be good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I will be there at drop off and for the show on Friday. I will most certainly be dressed in black with a red coat if the weather is bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingmuppet Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi, I should be at drop off and pick up (unless just dh does it). It is 11am for drop off isn't it? For some reason I had in my head 9.30am, not sure where I got that from! Dd is very nervous as she hasn't done anything like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pas de chat Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 We will be there too, just thinking about packing up DDs suitcase. Â No bed linen required which is great although DD insists on her own pillow! Â Little DS (2) will be attached to us no doubt causing havoc! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afab Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 DD is in 20 in Park... Yes we got a hoodie but it is 2 sizes too small. Hopefully we'll get a new one... DD rang at the break this afternoon to say it was great! Wonderful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingmuppet Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 My dd is in 22 in Park. The drop off went very smoothly, she'd gone from being nervous yesterday to very excited by this morning, hopefully she'll have a lovely time, haven't heard from her yet. The hoodies were really small don't think they match the measurements given on the website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lildancer96 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sure they will swop if the wrong size. They were on sale at the senior summer school drop and collect despite them saying they wouldn't be ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas de chat Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 DD is in Mortimer which is usually a boys dorm.  Our HM said the girls dorms were much better but I was still impressed compared to another vocational school where they put 7 in a room.  At least they may get some sleep! ho ho  I won't hear from her as she didn't want to take her phone so very pleased it is good.

afab Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 DD2 was in Mortimer for the Senior SS and I thought her room was slightly nicer than the one in Park. Same setting but lighter... Definitely better than the one you are mentioning with 7 beds a room... DD2 got ill while she was at the Senior SS in Elmhurst and the house parent was absolutely fantastic!

dancingmuppet Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just had a text from dd to say they're watching Coppelia tonight. Have no idea what else she has done but it sounds as if she's enjoying herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Mine said they were going to take duvets and pillows and snuggle up in a studio to watch it... How lovely! Everything is done so that they feel happy and snug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â We spoke to one of the boys teachers and he said they have a lot planned for them and he said they will learn a lot in a very short space of time. Â Looking forwards to Friday when she will no doubt ask the question about auditioning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingmuppet Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'd love to be a fly on the wall. Just had another text to say they learnt the hours dance from Coppelia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loulabelle Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 My dd has told me I will be watching a Contemporary class on Friday! What joy! Much as I love a bit of Contemporary, when I send her to a 'Ballet School' for a few days, I'd much rather watch her doing ballet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Dd tells me there are groups A -F and she has no idea how they were allocated. She has done a ballet class which Robert Parker watched and then learned the hours dance from Coppelia. She has taken a pic of her timetable which I have asked her to mail, so may understand a bit more when I see it! All good so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
