    Hello. I know two people who got a no from elmhurst young dancers and a yes to royal ballet associates so you never know! Also we got a no in year 3 for JAs, but got in in year 6 off the swl and then offered mids for year 7....so just because its a no it doesn't mean it will always be a no. My dd was upset but it made her more determined to try again. Xxx

    Could we have the olive leotard please? Thanks x

    I think the deadline was April 10th/11th perhaps so only a few days ago.... And they offered my dd a switch of weeks so I wonder if it takes a little while to switch things round and work out what they have to offer in each week? Good luck xxx

    We handed back dds place Week 4 fingers crossed someone gets a place from the waiting list xx

    Very well said! 👏

    There is usually a fair bit of movement as Elmhurst/Hammond and White Lodge students aren't allowed to do mids training...so they will hand mds back. We had to do that a few years back. Also I've heard the swl is actually quite short...so fingers crossed!

    Yes for us too! Not 100% sure we will keep our place though...depends if we can find a friend week 4! X

    Hello can you please send me photos of the skirts. Thank you x 😘

    Hi Powder Pink. I've heard that the intensive photos aren't linked to JAs etc and so I wouldn't read into it too much (or think she didn't get in because she isn't doing well in class). Some great advice already from Ruby Foo 👏. We've never done professional photos so i wouldnt worry about that....but the poses aren't easy to do....my dd can do them now she is in year 9 but back in year 6 she struggled. Perhaps your teacher could help with them for next time? The arabesque is a tricky one for younger dancers! X

    I had no idea how big Richmond Park was! I thought it was just a normal park....like our local park 🤪!! It's huge! Nearly missed dd audition as was planning to park and 'wander up'... then a friend pointed out how far it was!

    Oh! Bit of a wait then!

    Hello! Does anyone know when we are likely to hear back about the summer course? Trying to make plans!
  18. Raquelle
    They offer boarding to some and mds to some, but gave us an offer for a day place so didn't accept obviously! My daughter ended up going somewhere closer to home, she did love hammond though at auditions, seemed like a lovely school x
  19. Raquelle
    Yes they do!!! Such a pain 😝

    My Dd got into elmhurst and she was a JA, but not a young dancer. I think most of her year were JAs, and some were young dancers also x

    My dd really worked at her flexibility. When she applied to JAs year 5 she only had her right splits. By the time we got to the school auditions a year later, she managed to get all her splits...she worked really hard on her flexibility, stretching most days. So even if splits aren't there yet, i wouldn't worry too much. We find that flexibility reduces when she has growth spurts too so it's always a work in progress!

    We got a day place at Tring (which was basically a no as we live miles away!) But them got mds for Hammond...so there is definitely a chance. All the schools look for different things and Tring is stricter than the others in some ways as they have less mds places x

    Good luck to your Dd! Please don't sorry about the song for Hammond! My dd is also not a singer and got mds offer....its more about having the confidence to have a go! Mds is based on their potential for classical ballet so they won't be ruled out on their singing ability. I'd just ask any questions you're interested in knowing. E.g. what dance styles will they do? What do they do on weekends? Are there performance opportunities etc! Like Ruby says it's all about enjoying the day and using it as an opportunity for a fun day of dancing in lovely studios! My dd loved audition week and we met some lovely mums who we are still in touch with now x

    Shwmai! I've never been but Adult Ballet Wales run ballet classes in Cardiff and Newport. I think it's just ballet though! Should be able to Google them. Pob lwc!

    Hello! They are really friendly and will put them at ease. I can't really remember specific questions but they were nothing difficult and definitely not trying to catch them out. Xx
