Re: MADD v Millenium v other london schools

Cant help you on which is the better of the two ( or others ) but my DD also LOVED MADD even just from her time spent briefly at the Open Day. She has even managed to bag herself a week's work experience there after the summer ! She loved the staff, the location and the general feel of the place and...

Re: Birmingham Royal Ballet Open Class @ The Lowry

My DD has done quite a few workshops with touring companies at The Lowry, mainly through her CAT scheme but some are open workshops. The latest was a weekend with 2Faced Dance Company which she absolutely LOVED, incredibly hard work and physically demanding but she was 'buzzing' for days after. I'm ...

Re: Agency Photographs

Thats a shame. We've just got ours too so I gather we are with the same agency ( just read back threads and we are ) We love ours but then again, you can hardly miss my DD on the photos - look for the unmissable one and that'll be her !! I know they like their hair forward so they are reminded of th...

Re: Top Talent Agency

How was everyone's experience at the auditions ?
My DD was in the 12-15 age group and this was reasonably happy with her own input in the session.
Await outcome with interest.

Re: Screen School - 22nd-24th August 2013 - Few places left

Can't attend this but just for others could you please clarify 3 day or 5 day course as there is some conflicting info on this post and on web site.

Thanks

Re: DD and Osgood Schlatter Disease

Thank you all for your kind wishes and shared experiences. ** Touch wood ** DD seems a little improved over the past week. She managed both performances of her end of year CAT show without the need of painkillers and has some wonderful gel knee pads from a dance catalogue. They really are the bees k...

Re: DD and Osgood Schlatter Disease

Your poor DD, hope it improves quickly (does it really take a year or more?) . It only really subsides when the child stops growing so could actually take WAY more than 12 months :shock: :shock: Which why the advice of rest isn't realistic as an option. I just need it in writing from a professional...

Re: Top Talent & Bonnie and Betty

We heard the next day from Bonnie and Betty and maybe 3 days later from Top Talent.

My DD is attending the Manchester audition for TT at the end of August and still awaiting a date for the BoBe one.
Good luck xx

DD and Osgood Schlatter Disease

DD went out for her usual keep-fit jog around the village last week and on returning called me to see a swelling just below her knee on one leg. I honestly thought she had put a tennis ball up her leggings looking at the size of it :shock: We did the usual dance injury treatment RICE ( rest, ice, co...

Re: National Youth Dance Company

Thank you all so much for those wonderful wishes, it's been a very emotional weekend and I haven't replied before now as a mixture of emotions plus wine would have led to some VERY incoherent ramblings on here !!
