Next question: for those who have had a child do JAs and festivals. Did your child get removed from festival dances because they were in JAs which took up Saturday time? I feel like my dance school isn't exactly happy my child got accepted to JAs.

Bath centre for us - I received an email with a link to a folder with all of the information and links for the uniform. The dates are on a separate pdf file with the location and time of the lesson. Does anyone know when the Bath centre changed from Radstock to actual Bath? It's being held at the University of Bath sports centre. Another dancer at our dance school stopped JAs after two years and both years they went to Radstock. I have soooooooo many questions, but I am going to write them down then give them over all at once. Such as: Are we allowed to buy any kind of canvas ballet shoes and socks or do we have to get the ones on the uniform website?

That will help a lot. I already do two plaits like that for one of my daughters festival dances. Instead of doing space buns, I'll practice this over the summer instead. Next question: are they going to want hair elastics the same colour as the dancer's hair? I can get away with any colour elastic at the moment because of the required hairstyles. But, you see the elastics with this hair style.

Hello everyone, over the past two years I've slowly been turning into a dance parent with my daughter participating in dance festivals. Auditioning for JAs was something she wanted to do, so we did and she got a yes. Now I get to learn a whole new set of hair and requirements. I literally know nothing about JAs other than it's with the Royal Ballet School and the information given on the website. (I've been a science teacher for over 20 years and have no dance experience at all.) First bit of help I'm going to need is with hair. I saw that hair isn't a basic bun. Does anyone know a video that shows how to do the plaits for the required hair? And any other insights you can give to the programme and what to expect as a parent would be wonderful. Thanks!!
