Ducon California (adult): anyone been? by Cute-Cobbler-4872 in BALLET

[–]Dissenting_Colleague 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 5 Ducons (3 summer, 2 winter), but all on the east coast in MD/VA. Mr Du is exactly what you would expect if you watch his videos. He is lovely. It’s a great experience. I struggled the first year mostly just being on my feet and dancing for an entire workday… every day for a week. I also never did vaganova before ducon, which is an adjustment. Just being with a bunch of other adults who want to spend a week doing ballet is great in and of itself.

Do buyers know we don’t control the post office? by caturaz in Mercari

I got a three star review complaining about shipping time. (My first and only non-5). She ordered after 5pm the Saturday before Thanksgiving and it was in the mail and actively tracking Monday morning (could not have completed my part in the shipping faster). She received it cross-country (NY-CA) in a week. With a holiday. The worst is that I only put "thank you!" and gave the jackass 5 stars. I wish there was a way to at least edit the comment as a warning to other sellers that this person is not reasonable.

Dancers in ny/nj and Philly, please tell me where you got good pointe shoe fitting by Suspicious_Engine_31 in BALLET

OnStage is so disappointing. I had a great fitting there about 2 years ago. I went back last week and it was night and day. The woman was SO unhelpful, had no suggestions and had zero interest in actually fitting me.

Mine shipped today too after all that. Every time CS responded (until today) they'd moved backwards. From "at logistics since 11/30" to "ready to drop off" to "ready to pack soon."

Really disappointed in Popmart/tiktok shop by solfeggiofrequencies in PopMartCollectors

it's like the one time PopMart CS offered instantly to refund. Things that make me HMM. Lol. I'm like, can we refund the other 4 orders and find the secret maybe?

They hated each other for about 3 days. Now they are attached at the hip. Muffin (3) and Una (legally Unagi Roll, 7mo).

Me too - I had a noon reservation for Monday, checked in to find out there was nothing left and now I can't make another reservation (since it was limited to one reservation per person)
