Re: Touring Advice

Have to say when DD toured with SOM, the food varied from venue to venue - some she really liked, others she was less keen on . Mostly, they ate at their hotel or at theatre; didn't eat 'out' very often. She certainly came home much less fussy! My DD turned 9 during rehearsals & the lovely chape...

Re: Sylvia Young Theatre School

Hi Cupcake - he commutes as we're only an hour from London. When he started, he was Grade 3/4 Ballet & Tap and has really come on - they are in ability groups for Dance. Some kids have loads of dance experience when they start whereas others haven't really had any formal dance training.

Re: Fit to work certificates-advice please....

Usually it takes 5 mins max, but because it is classed as a private medical appointment, they don't seem to know how much to charge me! one of the receptionists o...
