annaliesey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 They are the only ones announced for 2015. I wish they would announce a rolling 12 months worth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewinelake Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hey Annaliesey, well done your DD! - did she get one? Our DD1 was also selected but didn't get it, although one of her school-friends did. Both DDs very excited. Mrs Winelake was very impressed at the overall standard of the dancers, having been led to believe that qualification was a shoe-in! I understand that the scholarship session was pretty demanding. I'm looking forward to seeing one or two of the shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaliesey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 No she didn't get one but she was beaming from ear to ear just being up there for scholarship round. Two of her other friends were finalists too but none of them got one. My dd was Juliannes choice and was the last one to join the scholarship dancers. We aren't actually sure if she can accept it due to other commitments and are now having a dilemma!!! Arghhh !!! I thought the routines they did were fast and challenging. More so than I remember from watching auditions before. I stayed and watched the seniors and theirs seemed super tough!! I'm not sure about standard tbh. There were a lot of really good dancers there but there were also quite a few who looked like they really struggled. I wonder if the routines have been made more difficult And I can't believe about 4 juniors left mid way through the audition to go to the toilet!! Hehe .. Not seen that before!

annaliesey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 And well done to your dd1. (Sorry I hit post before I'd finished typing) Did you have 2 dd's there tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewinelake Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Ah, yes, 2 DDs, but both in the senior category - in fact all my comments (secondhand from the boss) pertain to the senior section. Hope you resolve your dilemma happily! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaliesey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well done indeed for DD for senior category .. The scholarship section just seemed to go on and on and Miss Lewis just seemed to keep thinking of things for them to do!! Must have been a close call.

thewinelake Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I hear there was only 1 boy (senior section). That's a shame. At least he was good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pups_mum Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 They are the only ones announced for 2015. I wish they would announce a rolling 12 months worth So do I! I have started checking the website every few days for next year's schedule, even though I know it's too soon really. I think it was July last year.DD was lucky enough to do EYB 3 times in quite close succession but there hasn't been anywhere within reasonable traveling distance for 3 years now. She is 18 next year so it's her last chance. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a north east or north west of England venue that doesn't clash with A levels!

kcoom75 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I emailed miss Lewis to ask about future audition dates and she said they would be coming to Preston in November, Southport is usually just before Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Oh no, what a shame. DD will (hopefully!) have gone away to university/college by then so it will be too late. Thanks for letting me know though, at least I won't be getting my hopes up for nothing. Though there might still be somewhere in the north east I guess....

PrincessandtheFrog Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I was at the stevenage audition too! Well done to you dd annaliesay! It was really funny because I fell over in the adage and the pirouettes ! Still had a fun time! The boy goes to my dance school and I never saw him dance ballet before. What number was your dd annaliesay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 They are due back to Nottingham the summer of 2016 as was confirmed at the 2014 show they would be bk in 2016, also they usually do Wolverhampton the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaliesey Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Oh bless you princessandthefrog but I promise I didn't see anyone fall so you must have covered that OK Dd was 110 bit of a shorter on the end of a line in the juniors Were you in seniors?

thewinelake Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) P&F must be "the tall one" according to my DDs! (25 & 26) Edited June 9, 2015 by thewinelake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessandtheFrog Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Oh bless you princessandthefrog but I promise I didn't see anyone fall so you must have covered that OK Dd was 110 bit of a shorter on the end of a line in the juniors Were you in seniors? X Yeah I was in the seniors, I didn't fall to the ground just fell out of the adage and pirouettes and stumbled a fair bit sideways. I probably was noticed because I was in the front row at the centre because I was no. 6... Lol. I still got in though so I am really happy! P&F must be "the tall one" according to my DDs! (25 & 26) I was probably taller looking compared to the people next to me as they were quite young but I'm one of the shorter ones in my class and my friends always tease me!

PrincessandtheFrog Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I was a bit nervous because I am quite a low grade as I haven't even done my grade 4 exam yet and if I was younger by a month I could have been in the junior audition. It turned out alright though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewinelake Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Are parents allowed to hang around and watch casting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Are parents allowed to hang around and watch casting? No, I'm afraid not. The next thing you will be able to watch is the last afternoon of rehearsals before they go into the theatre, when they do a run through without costume for the parents in whichever school is used for rehearsals. Other that, you have to leave after a short daily briefing before rehearsals begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 They normally have a room set aside at the rehearsal venue for waiting parents to use, so you don't have to drive miles home or spend hours and hours traipsing round random towns. Useful if you've come a long way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
