Lildancer96 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 My dd has had to withdraw from this competition due to injury and I now have tickets for both the semi finals and the final if anyone is interested, I have posted on the 'For sale' section of the forum. Just wanted to say thank you though to all the lovely people on here who have sent private messages. Much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lildancer96 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 That's great news - exactly the same here! Frustrating but more important to get them fit and healthy without risking further injury. Hopefully they will both be there next year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieW Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sorry to hear about their withdrawals. My son had to withdraw from the only really big competition he went in for (the Cecchetti International Awards) due to an injury. So disappointing as it was in this country, hotels booked, he'd had few other opportunities to be seen etc. I admit the disappointment stayed with me for quite a while, and he seemed to get over it quicker than me. Always the way! I wish them speedy recoveries. And good luck to those who are taking part either in the actual Genee competition or the challenge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harwel Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 How incredibly upsetting for both DC and patents to have to pull out of such a competition. Long term physical health has to be the priority, but that must have been a very hard decision. Speedy recovery and hope you get another chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBELLES Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 What a shame for both your DDs , wishing them both a speedy recovery . It's a worrying time when they are injured , my younger dd has sustained a very bad injury this summer , I hope your girls are not too down about it , roll on next year ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletqs Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hope your dd is on the mend Kat09. Generally the challenge was enjoyed by all I think. Darcey was late apparently. The standard wasn't massively high this time although I believe level 4 was a pretty even playing field. Now unfortunately the 3 winners from the UK levels 1-3 cannot afford to go back to perform at the Genee finals next week as the RAD are not paying for them to go. Really cross! Any short notice sponsorship ideas?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat09 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi Balletqs - daughter is on the mend thankfully and wore her pointe shoes for the 1st time in 6 weeks this week. What a shame the winners can't return to dance as I'm sure that it would be a lovely experience for them. It's probably a bit late in the day to try to raise sponsorship 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Dance teacher said Darcey was late because the taxi dropped her I the wrong place and she couldn't get hold of the organiser so had to walk for an hour and a half to get to the venue!!☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletqs Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Yes think it is. I don't think they made it clear they would be responsible for funding their return. Such a shame. So glad yr dd is recovering well great news Hi Balletqs - daughter is on the mend thankfully and wore her pointe shoes for the 1st time in 6 weeks this week.

Lildancer96 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Fantastic news for the finalists All the competitors take part in the semi finals - they dance their chosen classical variation and dancers own after a week of coaching . Only those who make the final dance the commissioned choreographers piece . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
