Good post 2dancesmum, couldn't agree more. One phrase that means everything to myself and DD is 'The Harder I Work, The Luckier I get'. This was quoted to us during a 'meet the principal' meeting at one of the colleges she auditioned at when she was 15 (Tring Park Performing Arts). It just hit a cho...

Hmmm...drinks to go flasks (hot drinks, cold mornings) and shake maker for smoothies

Also, set up an account for her with Ocado or Tesco for home delivery for food (we relied on this last year) Ocado prooved really reliable (it is linked to Morrison now)

Dance On - such an exciting time for them! DD has moved part of her stuff into her accomodation just yesterday (long drive) and I'm not quite sure if it is possible that she could be more excited than me! (Am sure she must be, but what a great experience for them) Carriecrafts - bless you! I'll be i...

Hi Dancermum, my DD was eating fairly healthy we thought, but not eating enough. A typical meal for her after college now is 2 chicken breasts cooked in various ways, pasta & veg (I have gotten her onto wholewheat as it is better for her). Before it would have been just one piece of chicken. She...

Katymac - I don't think there is anything college specific you need to know for Performers, and they don't really teach the kids about nutrician so it is down to you. The biggest tip is getting your DD's nutrician right (she is only small without a lot of spare!) We learned the hard way, but didn't ...

Hi All, I hope this will be helpful. My DD attended a foundation course last year and the training was pretty instense - between 6-8 hours of dance per day. Well, she started to loose weight about 6 weeks into her training and I was quite worried (as was the course leader who expressed concern to he...

Suesmith - great post and I too am very grateful for everyones help, advise, guidance and support during my DD's journey over the past 2/3 years. I am so looking forward to the next stage, she is off to Bodyworks as well (like Jasmine's DD) and is extremely excited! The two of us are driving to Camb...

Totally Fantastic NEWS DANCECAT!!!! Congratulations to you and your DD )

Very pleased for you both xx

Reserve list updates - does anyone have any updates of any DaDA offers from the reserve lists over the past 2 weeks? In particular BodyWorks or Performers?

Dancecat21, It is good that they are being open about returned DaDA's, it will give others hope. My DD has had an offer of a DaDA from Millennium, so our DD's may meet next year! DD is still waiting for news of other reserve lists she is on before she is 100% sure Millenn is 'the one for her' but sh...

Well done to everyone making the all important destination decisions and good luck with finding a really nice place to live, and great roomates!

Congratulations to your DD Alwood, was this her first choice, or are you still waiting on Laine?

Great news to all those who know where they are going....we are still not sure and weighing up options, we have spent the whole day chatting and discussing pro's and con's. Still don't know, more research, questions, research...needed This isn't easy!! It is such an important decision.

Just wanted to say that the pre-voc end of year show at Performers College last night was amazing and I was blown away at the talent! (and an incredibly proud Mum, one of many I am sure) It has been a fantastic year for my DD (and her course mates) and we are so looking forward to the next 3 years, ...

Dance1998 - a huge congratulations! Well done to your DD and you for supporting her x
