ponklemum Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm taking my dd for her first point shoes on Sunday and will be going to Dancique in Birmingham. Where would be the best place for me to park? (I have a 9 seater car so cannot do small spaces). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Hiya Pretty sure its free parking right outside the shop sunday! But if no spaces, turn left after Dancique, second road left again (first road one way I think!) Then left again as though going back to main road and car park on left £3.00 for day. Walk top of road Dancique on left! Hope that helps xx enjoy Edited March 17, 2017 by Dancing unicorn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lema Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yes there is parking right outside the shop but if no luck there are lots of car parks very close and plenty of blue P road signs to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Parking on the meters in Lower Essex Street and Bromsgrove Street (as described by dancing unicorn) is free on a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponklemum Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thank you all so much. I'm not used to driving in a city so I like to plan my journey ahead of time. Dd is really looking forward to it, although she's not looking forward to the long drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponklemum Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thank you all. I managed to park outside the shop, took dd 2 to Birmingham royal ballet for her first NYB audition then walked back for dd1's pointe shoe fitting. The staff were absolutely wonderful and dd is really happy with her first pair of pointe shoes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Fabulous - glad you enjoyed your trip. Dancique has to be our favourite dance shop ???? (there really should be some ballet/pointe/dance related emoji's shouldn't there!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponklemum Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 It took us 3 hours to get here so we've all (me and 4 children) spent the afternoon in West Midlands safari park and we're now setting off for the journey home. We don't come to Birmingham often do we've made the most if it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponklemum Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 OMG you must be shattered!! Pointe shoe fitting with 2 siblings in tow must be interesting! ! It really was. My 6 year old ds, who also does ballet, went by my dd, held the barre and tried to go en pointe in his trainers bless him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
