My DD is working on her Higher Project Qualification and is writing about why the London Palladium is one of the world's most iconic theatres. Are there any DCs who have performed there who could write a quote for her saying what it was like and why they think the Palladium is such a special theatre...

Yes my DD took GCSE Dance this week and said it was awful.

Thank you for your reply 2dancersmum. All sorted now. I called ISTD and she's fine to take her exam. I was looking at the entry requirements for the old tap syllabus for which Adv 1 included teaching skills, hence the 16 yrs lower age limit.

I've never used this company, but they may be able to help you.

Katymac, it's worth calling Italia Conti 01483 568070 and asking because I'm pretty sure the 3 yr course takes 16 year olds - but maybe now they are introducing the 2 yr BTEC this may change. They're very friendly at the Arts Centre and they also have plenty of flats in the immediate vicinity for st...

From Sept 2012 the Italia Conti Arts Centre in Guildford will be running a 2 year BTEC for 16-18 year olds with funding available. They also offer this course which combines performance and teacher training:

Any tips for a hard-working DD who is allergic to dairy, egg, soya, nuts, tomato, strawberry, orange, shellfish and tuna!!!

Good luck to anyone auditioning for this today and tomorrow.
