Re: RAD to ISTD

You're very welcome!

I think the free work does make it more interesting....but leaving a loved teacher is always hard!

Fingers crossed for a smooth transition!

Re: RAD to ISTD

How old is your DD? My DD (15, but still mana...

Re: auditions for full time dance schools

I'm not sure, but I think Bird is the only college that deals with funding like that?!

Good luck for the audition...fingers crossed! Sounds like your DD will do brilliantly wherever she goes!

Let us know how she gets on....

Re: auditions for full time dance schools
