JulieW Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I just had to share with you all, as I'm very excited, that I'm watching my son and his girlfriend dance Le Corsaire pas de deux this evening as "guests" in her old dance school show I've only ever seen him do any pdd in a short class demo once, and a bit of partnering in groups in end of year performances, so this is a real treat (they're doing it again for our local dance school show at the end of May - I'm hoping to persuade him to do the solo too for that ) 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pups_mum Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Have a wonderful evening. It sounds as though it will be lovely. I'm sure as well as being a delight for you it will be a great inspiration for the pupils at their old schools and a real treat for their old teachers too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyG Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Enjoy we see them perform so rarely that it becomes special when we do and definitely lots of tissues.

JulieW Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks all - the show was great - really well produced and amazing costumes for the first half of ballet where they did Beatrix Potter - thought they must've hired or borrowed them, but no, all made by people involved with the school - so very well done to anyone reading this who was involved As for the pdd - it brought the house down They looked gorgeous and danced beautifully despite the fact they never usually dance together due to the difference in height . I heard there was much excitement in the afternoon when the younger girls first saw ds in his costume (it was the bare chest that did it!!). And his girlfriend's mum was surrounded by people at the end as they were all so impressed by her lovely daughter. And for a change, I didn't cry - very unusual for me - I usually cry at everything but I think it was just like watching some professionals so it almost didn't feel like it was my son up there. (I'll make up for it at the end of year performances - I'll be crying buckets there ) And as for the forum outing idea - if you're within striking distance of North Hampshire and are free at the end of May, do get in touch (dd is dancing quite a bit in that too) - I'll give you details....... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Delighted to hear it went to well Julie. Good luck to your dd tomuchtallent. Also mighty relieved to know I am not the only one who weeps buckets over dk through joy/pride. (We'll forget about the wailing and gnashing of teeth when things went wrong!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumofballetmaddaughter Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Glad all went well Julie and lovely to read such a happy post. You must be so proud. It's times like this that make all the worry and stress of such a precarious profession worthwhile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aileen Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Tomuchtallent, your daughter's playing is really impressive. No wonder you were very proud. Your daughter, as well as being talented, must do a lot of violin practice, as well as going to her ballet lessons. She must be a very busy girl. She obviously has a good violin teacher, which is as important as it is in ballet, and I have discovered over the years that really good violin teachers are not easy to find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 How brave of her and what a talented little girl she is! you must be really proud of her! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomuchtallent Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks guys.She loves her teacher very much and her violin.She started 2 years ago and practices about 1 hour a day without fail and i dont ever have to ask her!She finds it relaxing and would rather play than do nothing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4dancers Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Wow, she is fantastic! I'm hoping that she will inspire my dd to practise her violin more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
