LoobyLou Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It says quite clearly "year 9 upwards" on their website...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes72 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) From what I was told yesterday it's only up to year 9 but it would be best to check as I was only asking about my DD and didn't question whether it went to years 10 and 11. Sorry if I've passed on incorrect info! Edited May 10, 2017 by twinkletoes72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMoo2 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 We've sent the info off but not heard anything? Anyone have any idea when the Manchester junior associate audition is?? Getting a bit worried it will clash with holidays etc. DS loving this year, going to all these auditions. Would love him to just get one, would be such a huge confidence boost...??? xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowerpot Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 It says on the website the 17th June for Manchester auditions. We only sent the application off last Saturday but not heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splitz Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Just to say DD auditioned in Birmingham on Saturday. She seemed to enjoy it, came out smiling. DD commented that the standard was higher than her RBS audition last week. I suspect that's because they get a lot more applicants for RBS than Elmhurst. It was interesting to see the school and the parents even got a guided tour, which I wasn't expecting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletnewbie Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We were there on Saturday too, was quite surprised how easy it was to get there from Cardiff! It Was nice to see some of the associates in class ( through the windows) when we went on the tour. And only 1-2 weeks to wait for results!

ArucariaBallerina Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Is there any possibility at all of a full time place being considered at the Associates audition, or is this out of the question? ? I absolutely adored Elmhurst and the auditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancemomdot Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Does anyone know if they took any for yr 5 in Birmingham this year? We haven't heard of any yeses. They still haven't banked the cheque yet either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButterflyBallerina Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 We have had a yes for year 5 place at Elmhurst Although along side a phone call about proportions has anyone heard of this before ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy twinkle toes Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well done Butterfly Ballerina. The schools really scrutinise proportions. They like long legs and short torso. Dd1 has been told she has a longish torso and they hope this changes as she grows. You don't say whether it was positive or negative but they must rate your dc to offer them a place.

ButterflyBallerina Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 They called to say she had stood out and in her dancing ticked all the boxes But they are concerned about her proportions at this time and in the future she may be advised not to audition for vocational school due to this Was bitter sweet really As it's amazing they want to give her the opportunity to join their young dancers scheme but quite disheartening at the same time She is tiny, and is yet to have a 'growth spurt' so who knows Her teacher and others have never heard of such correspondence, so all in all I'm taking it as a good thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Congrats ButterflyBallerina to your dc for getting a place. Who knows what the children will look like in 2/3/4 yrs time. Just enjoy the ride and ensure dc gets the most out of the lessons, you can't change what is out of your control, just take the opportunity to influence what you can. It is a long hard road for parents and children- for those who chose to take it. Xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Proportions can change beyond all expectation over the 10-16 age range. I would take it that they were so impressed with your DD that it overrode their concern that her proportions may not be 'right' (for them - different schools and different companies later down the line have different physique requirements) at this stage. She obviously shone at audition! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mummy twinkle toes Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Don't worry a few of us have had similar feedback. You don't know how they will change over the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterflyBallerina Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Thank you Its an amazing opportunity for her. I think there are so many contributing factors between now and vocational school we can't let that affect her now and if they are willing to take a chance on her we are more than willing to do it for her ? I have no background in dance so feel clueless a lot of the time . X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It is hard Butterflyballerina - many of us in the same situation have benefitted enormously from the support on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Butterfly, there are other vocational schools who don't have such strict requirements about proportions so take the training & re-evaluate when the time comes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmummy28 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Can anyone tell me what day and time the Manchester associate classes are please? My dd is supposed to be auditioning this weekend but she is already an RBS JA and someone has mentioned it won't be possible to do both, so not sure if it's even worth attending the audition?
