A lovely experience all the same and I’m sure we’ll be back next year! Just such a shame there is no feedback. Good luck everyone and well done all x You can call them and they let you know why it was a No this time. They write notes on them all, a friend of ours called last year and they let her know the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletShoes5 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Birmingham and London - The two '2 dayers' kind of makes sense, I was hoping today for Birmingham but I'm thinking end of the week now. What are we all like?!! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustKeepSwimming Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Wish they would hurry up already! 😂 I never realised how impatient I could be until the last few days. The wait is worse than the ‘No’! Huge welldone to those with JA places x Edited June 12, 2018 by JustKeepSwimming Missed a word! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancemomdot Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Has anyone tried logging into the royal ballet and seeing if anything has changed? We are awaiting Birmingham, they are not known for getting results out quickly. DD did sleeping beauty dreams in Feb and what should have been a two week wait turned into four weeks!

CrazyDanceMum Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Cant understand why they have skipped over b'ham. Leeds and manchester results have come out and i thought they had auditions over 2 days too.

Curlypearl Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi I only stumbled across this forum today. It’s great, I’ve kearnt so much already! My daughter auditioned at Eastleigh for a London space as we were away over half term and we heard today she’s been offered a waiting list place. Does anyone with experience know exactly how this works? I was told they had 1200 audition this year for the Junior associates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a phone call a few days later from Sylvia Hubbard to say they had a place for her It's all to do with who accepts the places as people sometimes audition for more than one scheme etc. Edited June 12, 2018 by sunrise81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so hard as I don’t know how long the waiting lists are and how many children above but it’s reassuring to know that other children have been awarded places when they are on the waiting list. If it’s not her turn this year DD will try again next year! Edited June 12, 2018 by Curlypearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Welcome to the forum Curlypearl! My JA experience was many years ago now (son's now nearly 25!) but he got a place from the waiting list and then went to White Lodge, followed by Elmhurst, then danced professionally for 3 years (sadly no longer, but hey ho....) Daughter got straight in but then didn't get WL or MAs much to everyone's suppose at the time, but then decided to dance for fun (but seriously) throughout her teens and concentrate on academics instead - she's (hopefully) about to qualify as a vet). Youngest son also got waiting list and didn't get in. Quickly realised he was only doing it because the others did lol. We hear of lots on Thistle forum who don't get in the first (or other) time but go on to have dance careers. I'm just saying all this here to show you that there are many different stories behind children applying for JAs. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear. You'll have many more years of this kind of waiting ahead if they continue on this mad path - believe me - it gets worse 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
