Dancermum Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hello... We are off tomorrow for DDs first CBA session (group 4) and I wondered if someone could tell me if parents usually hang around or go offsite? Her class is over lunch so wasn't sure whether to bring something to eat there or head out (perhaps with some other mums?)... Also the list says split sole ballet shoes, does anyone know if they'll get upset if DD has full sole ones (current ballet teacher only allows full sole!)? Thanks!

Interested Parent Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi Dancermum, parents do both. There are seats available and you can make tea and coffee in the waiting area. Many Mums walk down to Costa but there are a few other coffee shops too. As regards full sole vs split sole, no need to worry, both are fine. Wishing your DD the best on her first day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hello southerndancemum, If you search the forum for "Tring CBA" (using speech marks), you'll find several threads about CBA auditions. Here are a couple: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/5236-tring-classical-ballet-academy-audition/page-2#entry72819 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/3387-tring-parks-classical-ballet-academy/page-2#entry44743 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/7132-tring-cba-audition-november/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermum Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hi southerndancemum, she absolutely loved the class - the standard seemed very good with a lovely teacher. I think you may already have seen a previous post re the auditions but to say it again... "When my DD auditioned in May there were about 130 auditioning for 15-20 spaces spread across the whole age range (8-18?). Each group had 20-30 auditioning but quite a mix of ages in each (mine was in last group and they were age 12 to at least 16) so don't be put off if there are much bigger girls in your group. My DD gets extremely nervous and it's not helped by the over confident ones in the 'warm up' area... however she really enjoyed the audition and said the teachers & panel were really friendly." They were also very quick to let you know the result of the audition which was nice... Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancermum Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I get the impression there are less spaces available at the November auditions but also probably less people applying mid year...? Good luck and I'm sure your DD will love the audition and the studios! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerndancemum Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Got email today for group 1 on the 9th. No details on what to wear. Assuming standard class leotard, socks and shoes with elastics will be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
