Thank you

I think they were out by 6 30pm , as was the friend who did it 2 weeks earlier . Her results came in 6 days !!

Oh thank you , that is very helpful

May someone explain the difference between DADA and MDS , when applied to sixth form ? I know that at Tring some keep their MDS into sixth form - is that the same as a DADA or is one better than tother !!?

May I ask where she has gained a place ? I didn't think any results were out yet ? However , I only know of the ones my DS is doing . Incidentally one of my pupils is awaiting Urdang results from Sunday last week . Anyone heard from that one ? We await Elmhurst from Weds.

There was only one group on that day . I think there are 3 such days. No idea how many overseas students, I imagine Mr Parker will see everyone and take the best across the board.

I think there were about 16 girls and 4 boys the other day , but that's only one of the auditions . Afraid I don't know how many go through to finals.

Thanks Hairbelles , it went well despite the taxi traumas !! Not sure what your dds are up to , but all the best x

Perhaps a different thread , but regarding forthcoming Elmhurst auditions - it may be useful to know that today , around 10 .30 am and 11 am , there were no taxis in the taxi rank at Birmingham New Street Station , and a huge queue . Apparently someone ordered a mini cab ( private firm) and it took 45 mins for a 10 min journey , as the driver had no idea where he was going . I told my DS to go to the front of the taxi queue and appeal to folks better nature . This he did , and breezed into todays audition as they started the warm up . Phew . A poor girl fainted in the middle - I do hope she is ok . Anyway , that aside , best wishes to those who have yet to audition ,

Hope all goes well for tomorrows candidates . My DS is going on Weds . As I cant get cover he is making his own way (quite happily ) , but I do hope he pins his number on the right way up !!! At least he doesnt have a hair kit or pointe shoes to worry about 

No we are waiting , but RBS and Elmhurst were very quick to reply

Hello pas de chat ! I wondered if  anyone else had attended the RBS day - my DS really enjoyed it and found it helpful . Did you watch the class ?  I did not , but a friend said there was a mixed range of age and ability . hope your DD soon recovers

Nov 20th for us . Anyone else ? stayed at etap previously - no frills but cheap and cheerful - its now called IBIS

Hi Amandalou 

welcome to the forum . It doesnt seem a moment since my ds was doing year 7 auditions , and now is doing so again for 6 th form vocational training . it is good to share the experience with others in the same boat , as even DH sometimes tire of ballet talk , or dont speak the language !! 

I wish your dd every success . I dont think we shall be in the same place at the same time as 6th form auditions are separate , but we shall be covering the same mileage , and perhaps frequenting the same coffee bars. i now seem to be an expert in places to stay/eat in vicinity of vocational schools ! PM me if you like x

Praying and trusting in a full recovery , and for your peace of mind x

Yes a couple of children were offered places from the June audition

OOh thanks Fairy dust - welcome to the forum , I will send you a pm (personal message )

Anyone have ja uniform for sale ? petite yr 5 pupil of mine just offered a place off reserve list (hurrah) ! Size 1 character shoes , skirt, white leotard , belt , tracksuit , all required .

many thanks

Dear Forum Members,

Does anyone have an outfit to fit a boy aged 15 suitable for nutcracker prince ? Anything considered at this stage . Happy to buy, borrow or whatever - my DD will otherwise be wearing a trimmed up leotard  and black tights. Sugar plum tutu also required for slim 12 year old .

Show is beginning of October. We have got a tutu , but it is a little sad !

Many thanks all
