taxi4ballet Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Does anyone know of newsagent chains stocking Dancing Times - WH Smith used to round here but they don't any more; or is it a case of subscribing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 WHSmith still do in some shops, but I gave up a long time ago and have a subscription. Works out slightly cheaper too. (There's always the ROH shop - if you're in the area ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Or Freed and Dancia both sell issues. If you don't want to subscribe, you can just order an issue at a time from the DT website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Or Sadler's Wells. I've spotted DT and Dance Europe in the odd WHSmiths, but it's pretty rare. Unfortunately, the bookshop chains which used to stock it seem to be the ones which have closed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've moved this into a wider forum, because I think it's probably a matter of interest to more than those who just Do Dance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amber21 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hi I thought WH Smith used to order mags in at some point years ago? I know our local newsagent will order mags in if requested to. Good luck! Ax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I believe you can still order magazines through Smiths. I started to subscribe some years ago. Apart from the dog getting the latest issue, it's much more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutoo2much Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 My corner shop gets one in for me. They sell the usual newspapers and magazines but it seems they can actually get in any magazine you want, including foreign ones! I live in a small village, so I can imagine that applies whereever you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place am order with your local newsagent, and they can probably get it in for you. Then either deliver it with your daily paper, or keep it for you in the shop, if you don't get a delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Living in Northern Ireland, and not wanting to bother with a subscription, i buy copies when i want one off Ebay. There`s usually always someone selling various editions, and it works out they often sell them a little bit cheaper as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Years ago, I posted a link to a site where you could buy individual issues. I wonder if it still works? Edit: can't find it via Google, and I don't seem to have bookmarked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I did ask my local newsagent to order it, but they are part of a chain and it isn't on their 'list'! I think I'll take out a subscription... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointytoes22 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Which is the best ballet magazine in people's opinions? Just wondering because I was thinking of asking for a subscription to one for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie 2 Milner Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I like both "Dancing Times" and "Dance Europe". Dance Europe I think gives more reviews of companies abroad. If it is a sub for someone who is thinking of auditioning then "Dance Europe" is very good with audition info. Though, of course, it is also available on their website.. I get both via subscription as none stock it locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've got the impression on flicking through in recent months that DT's actual coverage of UK dance has actually shrunk, at least in terms of word counts: some of the reviews of individual programmes have been very short. Can anyone else who actually reads it confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've taken the Dancing Times since Dance and Dancers folded. I think for mainly UK it is very good, although they also seem to have more international coverage now. I sometimes supplement with Dance Europe, which has a lot more European coverage. With both magazines some issues are of more interest than others. I agree with Julie that if you are thinking of auditioning for a company, Dance Europe is probably better in that respect.

taxi4ballet Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I enjoy Dancing Times, although what I would like more of is articles and general information for the uninitiated, and for the parents of dancing children. Many of us parents find ourselves reading the magazine, but come from a dance-free background and have a steep learning curve to negotiate!

alison Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I noticed in one of last month's Links from the Dancing Times that an electronic subscription is now available for £9.99 a year. (It may of course have been that way for some time!) Sounds like an absolute bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
