Katia05 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 so this would mean august 2017. she will be still ten. so that would be ok? sorry to be so slow about this. Yes. If she'll be 10 on August 31st 2017 she'll still be a JA for that year starting in September 2017. I know because my friend's dd is born on 1st Sept and we had to find out the details to see which year she'd fit! Think of it as school years - JAs go up to year 6. Then year 7 are MAs.

Balletmum4ever Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 If your DD is currently in Year 4 at school, then she is applying for a Year 5 JA place from September, when she will join Year 5 at school. In this case she could apply next year for a Year 6 place. If she is currently in Year 5 at school, then she is applying for a Year 6 JA place this year and could apply for a MA place next year. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfin Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 During year 5 she would audition for a year 6 place, once she's in year 6 she's too old to audition for JAs. Hope this helps - I know I find it easier to think in term of school year rather than age! Sadly no more JA audition opportunities for us but she's an Elmhurst associate which she loves, so no huge disappointment. I do however feel the pain of all those no's.

MAK Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 There is quite a helpful table on the RBS website which shows you by precise age what can be applied for (although the above posts have summed it up perfectly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isadora Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 she's an Elmhurst associate thats pretty wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfin Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 thats pretty wonderful! Thank you! She got a place last year and it's been really lovely - it's a very warm and happy environment. I'm almost relieved (although a rejection is never nice) that it was a no from Royal this year as given her loyalty to Elmhurst (and love for it), it would have been a very difficult choice and I really don't think she would have done both.

Moka Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Don't forget all, after JA's, there's MA's so still opportunity to audition. It is tougher though as there are less centres that offer mid associate classes. Saying that, some people will be off to vocational schools. Good luck to the London auditionees today, hope you hear soon x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerndancemum Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 For those of you that get NO's - don't despair, bounce back! DD got a 'no' letter year before last, went back the year later purely for the experience of the class and surprised us all when she got a yes plus the offer of a SWL place for CG. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingmum123 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Good luck to everyone waiting...and remember if its a no its not a no forever its just a not right now. My daughter has been a JA since year 4 in Leeds and it is such a wonderful experience for them. She's only got 2 weeks left in Year 6 JA's. If you think this is bad wait until you audition for vocational schools I feel your pain! Edited June 16, 2016 by discomonkfish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred71 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I know! You can't help hoping but trying to be realistic.

Kittyjewel Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I feel exactly the same @sparkle123 ! My youngest DD doesn't really understand it all , whereas my oldest DD when we went for her sisters audition was very excited - wanted all the memorabilia etc ???? So with that in mind and the fact she took a toilet break we are very much expecting a no ! But I guess there is a glimmer of hope given her teacher recommended she go along ... Would be nice to know , sooner rather than later :s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Congratulations to those with a yes, commiserations to those with a no and fingers crossed to those on the waiting list or still waiting to hear. My son was on the waiting list (gosh, was it really 14 years ago), was offered a place in the July, went to White Lodge, then Elmhurst and became a professional dancer - there's always hope. Some with a no now will still go on to be professional dancers, and some will find other things that they are talented at instead. My youngest son was on the waiting list, didn't get a place and eventually gave up dance and is now at uni; daughter was a JA, didn't get MAs but danced competitively and is now a rugby playing vet student!

MAK Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Nothing here, but I did hear there were record numbers of JA applicants this year, maybe it's why it's taking a little longer than previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
