She got a place on the 3 yr diploma at Italia Conti!!

Funding (DaDA) needs to be applied for and is by no means certain, so she might not go!!

But she got a place!!! I am so, so proud!!! can you tell?

Yipee!!!

MN & MNetters have been a valuable support during the last few years; DD has had her ups & downs (as have I)

I love posting the good stuff, but I do post the bad and the sad as we need the support more then

I think I might still post - I imagine I'll need more help & advise

Thanks Pictures

I am so happy for you both.
I know that you have supported her so well, and am so pleased for you.
Have a big smile on my face, the hard work paid off. Wow.
I hope this doesn't mean you'll stop posting, we need you to keep us updated Grin Thanks

Such a shame someone felt the need to comment on her physical appearance whilst ignoring the point of the video (a young girl who has achieved such a lot in a very short amount of time but who clearly knows her areas which need improvement & is asking to be considered for training )

Folks whilst we are adults who are big & ugly enough to take these things our performing kids are children with insecurities. They have it tough & are tough on themselves. They are not finished products.

Thank you - it did take a while to tape & my editing skills are limited

My teacher wants me to do a show reel next - which is really scary!

Thanks pictures

We know where she will be living if she gets the DADA

We now have to decide what to do with the offers she already has - we need to keep at least one I think

Blasted child has let her phone run out of battery but was at least on the right bus this morning

Boast away!!!!!

When dd got into Hammond I had to keep quiet for a few days as the logistics of her going there involved dh handing in his notice at his previous job where his bias was a good friend.

20months.....? Did she only recently start dancing???

Huge congratulations :)

Her accent is a bit like mine I think, very un identifiable unless you know it but somehow to those who don't know it sounds awfully respectable (I'm from north Wales and first language welsh so my learnt English is really very English!)
