Caitlin_dance Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Am I right in thinking all the initial auditions are done for WL now? Does anyone know how many they saw? DD was at audition yesterday and there seemed to be a fairly equal split of JA leotards, and (presumably) JAs, but that might have just been our group. I was in a bit of a daze (too early for me) - think they said we will hear by email in 2 - 3 weeks. does that sound right to people hearing last year? Good luck to all the DC, they all looked beautiful in our group. Admin: I didn't see a post for WL auditions for this year so please merge if I missed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecircus Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 There is some discussion about this in the pinned "Information for lower School Auditions" post pinned at the top of the forum. Best of luck to your DD :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingPrincess Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm expecting it to be another couple of weeks. The Summer School is also about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArucariaBallerina Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think results arrive for preliminaries about 17ish days after the audition, Summer School results are meant meant to arrive on 1st March and Associates in early-mid April (for RBS anyway!)

TBG Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Anyone received anything yet. The first 2 weeks waiting was ok, but the last week has been torture and getting worse by the day. Must be soon, fingers crossed. Xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum55 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Wow what a long wait!!! Good luck to all your dcs and all the waiting parents. Wonder if they've decided to wait and review them all as one this year? Suppose would make sense but waiting is the worst!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos73 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 They always wait for the year 7 entry auditions to all finish before they review, but TBG is applying for year 8 I believe and the last year 8 entry auditions were done some time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLN Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 We were at London audition and I think they said results within 2 weeks but seems unlikely as the first auditions haven't heard yet. Waiting isn't easy but something to get used to I fear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancefanatic Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Last year Yr8 was definitely 2 weeks from the audition so wonder why the delay this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrancingMum Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Well they do appear to make some decisions on the day if the snippet of conversation DD's associates' friend overheard on her way out of the studio at the end of the 22nd January session. It was "well we don't want that one". You would have thought they would have waited until the girls were out of earshot! Good luck to everyone waiting on results!

PrancingMum Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Noooo, I hope in both cases it wasn't obvious to the candidates concerned DD's friend didn't think it was her and couldn't obviously see who it might be but definitely unnerving! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy11 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 We've experienced this too, quite strange. Maybe they think the children are concentrating so hard they don't hear. Any news for anyone yet? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreverdrivingtodance Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What happens at the finals?? was the first audition just a class? do you then have to do a solo etc?? can I just ask how much ballet are your children doing a week? DD would like to audition next year.Are they all JA's?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cablegirl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I heard that they inform all the auditionees from all the centres at approximately the same time, which is why there is such a long wait for those who audition at the first centre. As all the auditions are now complete, hopefully it won't be long at all until everyone finds out. So tough on those who go first though! If they have been waiting for almost 3 weeks then it makes sense that they are judging the final auditionees from London before informing anyone. Fingers crossed for today!

amos73 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Perhaps today for the year 8/9/10 results? All of the auditions for those were finished a while ago I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos73 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Year 7s come out last as the final year 7 prelims take place last I think, at least was so in previous years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful???? Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hi Flowerpot! In my DD case... - the preliminary audition was just a class. DD found it rather enjoyable ..I gather .they look for overall suitability for RBS, like turn out etc...the usual suspects and that love of dance perhaps, that something extra....not an advanced technique at least not for Year 7... - no solo, just some improvisation is required that, they share the improvisation time so music plays and each improvises ... - based solely on leotards and without really counting them would think half JA and half were not (it can be misleading as some JA don't wear JA leotards) ... but definitely a mix of both JA and none JA ... - DD does about 8 hours a week and a very late starter - Don't have any idea about finals as it iwas DD first try for WL. - if she ever makes it to finals, will post but it is a huge IF Good luck!!!

PrancingMum Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Perhaps today for the year 8/9/10 results? All of the auditions for those were finished a while ago I think. The last audition for Year 8 and above was 22nd January so yes today might well be the day - good luck to all - DD's BF is waiting tentatively! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreverdrivingtodance Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Huge fingers crossed for you Hopeful!!! thanks for the reply. We are a late starter too. Really praying for your DD. Can anyone go to the prelim audition? Hope they put you out of your misery soon. Did you audition in London?? Are you trying for any other schools??
