Waiting for the post...this is probably the most stressful thing you can ever imagine. Even more stressful than the audition its self! In the first audition, I was one of the lucky ones who got a call back! A week later I got a letter telling me that I got to the final audition!! I was very excited!

They were not those sort of judges who just sit there holding a pen and paper, staring at you constantly without blinking and scribbling down …

I wasn’t expecting to get in but I was sort of secretly hoping. It was thrilling when I found out. I met someone on the underground train on the way there to the first audition, and she was recalled like me, and then she was at the final recall, and I was really hoping she’d get in too.

I was overwhelmed by our audience, a sea of…

The Mamma Mia workshop on day one of Junior Summer School set the tone for the rest of the week - high spirits, endless energy and Abba on repeat! From classical ballet to contemporary, jazz and musical theatre, Fiona Chadwick brought together a wonderful mix of dance professionals to inspire our dancers throughout the week. New friendships were quickly made as they enthusiastically chatted about their classes, cartwheeled around the playground at lunchtime and practiced steps they had learnt to…
