Tinks Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Im new here so not sure where to post! I have a daughter who is auditioning for associates at Northern Ballet Leeds, I have had confirmation they have received her cheque and form, I also have a younger daughter who would like to audition but her form was sent later. We haven’t heard anything back from them so I’m worrying they haven’t received it and the closing date was yesterday. So my question is , has anyone else sent the form and payment but not heard anything back yet?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowMuch! Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi there, I sent off my daughter’s form last week and haven’t heard back yet. I was going to wait until next week to give them a call and ask. Can i ask, did you hear back via email or letter? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkly Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 We had an email yesterday saying we’d hear with an audition time in the next few days. Both my daughters applied and I only got email confirmation to say they’d received the application for one of them, however both cheques were processed by my bank. I also called NB to check both applications had been received and they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinks Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Thank you, sorry for the late reply! I heard back via e mail and then this evening was given a time but no name! I emailed to explain I had two daughters and they replied quickly with times for each of them. Good luck to you both , exciting but nerve wracking!

Nala Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Best of luck for the auditions. My DC is with Northern Ballet and the programme is fantastic! The teachers are great and they are all really friendly when dealing with queries via email or phone. We love it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkly Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi, My 8 year old also has a recall! Heard nothing yet about my older daughter either, so I assume they’re sending emails out in age order maybe? Sparkly x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinks Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 That’s great news! I’m just worrying ( and hopefully overthinking it) but someone earlier in the post said their DS had a recall for intermediate, so I’m thinking are they doing the yes pile first 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointeshoesarethedream Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hello Well done to all those that got a recall. I hope you don’t mind me asking but those of you whose children are 8, will they be 9 by the 1st September. I understood that the program was age 9 and up and as my daughter turns 9 on second of Sept, so currently in year 3, it wasn’t on my radar this year. Now I’m worried we’ve missed an opportunity!
