Karen Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I did see your first attempt though you were really enjoying the well earned celebrations. Congratulations, fantastic news Ah yes!! I think there will be plenty of that going on to get through these very challenging times! It's fine for the dd - she's enjoying time out of school for auditions, it's me who's struggling! ???????? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletbean Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I feel your pain and the absolute need to indulge in celebrations. It is pure team work, without us Mums to take our darlings all over the place and sew, repair and buy all their dancing bits and pieces they would never have had the chance to reach their full potential. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Because we do it for LOVE. Celebrate away and enjoy before reality kicks in for round 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thank you balletbean. Indeed, we must love them very much. Is your dc on the audition trail this year? Maybe we will see each other and could have a sustaining glass or two at the next one?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armydancer Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Dad's do a little running round to lol. Any one else get through to finals? So excited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Armydancer, it looks like it's just you and me with DC trying for year 7 at Elmhurst. It's surprising as there were many more on the forum previous years. I'm pretty sure there are some shy new dancing parents/guardians who read the post but are not yet ready to join in discussion - hope they got (will get) finals and would like to share the good news with all of us!

Dancermum Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Have been waiting a while to see if any other yes's for finals came up... it seems a very very small number that are through (I'm talking upper school here), feeling almost like there's no point turning up to DD's audition! Knew it would be tough but it seems even harder this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allnewtome Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 My Dd wasn't sure she wanted to audition and has now decided she would like to!! Cue taking rush photos this weekend in a bid to put in application form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora11 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 How did your DS's audition go today? Well I hope! Thinking about it for our little DS in the future and although have done it all with DD a while ago, was wondering if it's a different experience for boys.

Happymum Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thank you for good luck wishes! My DS came out happy so he had a good ballet class and a day off school ????. Results should arrive in 7-10 days. There were 24 children in his group (7 boys), all trying for year 7. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) How did your DS's audition go today? Well I hope! Thinking about it for our little DS in the future and although have done it all with DD a while ago, was wondering if it's a different experience for boys. Today's preliminary auditions were the same for boys and girls, very similar to how they were 2 years ago when my DD auditioned (if not exactly the same). I think that the finals might be different as boys and girls have separate auditions, maybe they are looking for/checking different things in boys? But maybe not, I have no idea, sorry Edited November 29, 2016 by Happymum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armydancer Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Happymum, So glad your DS really enjoyed the day. My DS loves Elmhurst. di you say you are at Tring on Tuesday? Edited November 30, 2016 by Armydancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
