HollyLou Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Auditions are live on the website now, inviting all yrs7-11 to apply for audition on 13th June. Invite based on photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glissade Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It makes it sound like a free-for-all. Are there more places available per year group than previously .....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletallday Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Totally confused! My DD has accepted her place for Sept 17, why is there another audition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon2 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The notice says if you wish to apply for a place in years 7 - 11. The numbers in each year has always been mobile, some years double the size of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said they seem to still have awards available and it's a case of if not used, they get granted a smaller pot next year which could be disastrous on a number of levels I guess. I also know there may be spaces for Y9 for example as there's always flux in the year groups for any number of reasons. So don't panic, they're not taking away places already offered and accepted.

HollyLou Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 My friend was advised they still had a number of MDS awards to give out. I know one of the girls from my DD JA made it to finals and was originally told no but then contacted last week with an offer of a place for yr 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't be expecting that call would you if so? It is interesting they seem to have more MDS still to give out. Last year it was very different. I wonder why?

HollyLou Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm not 100% certain. I know she'd came into class a little gutted she hadn't gotten in but unsure if she was reserve or a no. She's a beautiful dancer, definitely has a certain grace that can't be taught. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Has anyone heard about next week's auditions yet? Not leaving a lot of notice for working parents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blahblah Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm not expecting to be contacted as I think they must be fairly certain what they want if they are only inviting selected DC but it is kinda short notice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnewtome Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) I wonder if anyone has heard about the extra audition? Really is leaving very little time to organise. Edited June 7, 2017 by allnewtome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Emails will be sent this afternoon. I've just checked as my dd needs to let her school know asap, shes meant to be taking part in a dance festival with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 No audition for my dd. Oh well we best get planning/saving to start the journey again next school year. Hope some of the other forum dc get another chance to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnewtome Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Oh dear me. I'm a little shocked! My Dd has been asked to attend the audition!! Good luck to everyone and sorry to your Dd sarah2203. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 That's brilliant. Good luck! My dd will be fine she's got recall next week for CAT scheme so shes got lots to keep her busy. Plus I get to keep her at home another year. Hopefully you won't wait too long for results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird22 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 One of my students has been invited to audition for year 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnewtome Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I guess there is no point in speculating but I can't help wondering how many have been invited and for how many places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird22 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Is your DD year 8 too? From the phone call yesterday the artistic director has been really brutal with who is invited, I think it's a real honour to be invited regardless of the outcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnewtome Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 My daughter will be year 7. Have you spoken to them? I have just told her and she is delighted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird22 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 My students mum spoke to them yesterday and they made it seem like they were inviting very very few for the auditions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnewtome Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Doesn't seem to be many people commenting on this. I wonder if not many applied? It was an unusual thing to happen so maybe people didn't know about it. Hopefully it will be a lovely day and she won't be too upset when the inevitable disappointment comes!

DancingShoes Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 My dd has an audition for year 9 entry. Hoping that means there is a place available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancefanatic Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 DancingShoes that's fantastic & yes potentially there are spaces as my DD is in that year group. I know she'll be delighted to here this news, being the last to join the year. Good luck to everyone next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Elmhurst don't hold places for particular year groups so although there will be children leaving from y9, those spaces won't automatically go to potential y9s. The boarding is flexible so they give the spaces to whoever it is they want in any year group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancefanatic Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Farawaydancer I am well aware of that which is why I said "potentially"!! We all know there are never any guarantees but having been the other side last year, I would have found it comforting to know whether there was bed space to make the audition worthwhile. I now know there were potential bed spaces for Y8 girls last year but none were awarded following the March finals. My DD got her offer in Sept after summer school etc, completely out of the blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blahblah Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 There were not many DC today at the audition 10 year 7 girls and a few from each other year group. It was a very nice experience though and my DD enjoyed the class and orthopaedic assessment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
