Hi Tutu Cute - the mid associates were a dark blue, almost navy strappy leotard with The Royal Ballet School in small white letters on the left hip. Thanks

Hi Angela - yes it was Miss Saidi and the class was taken by the RBS mid associates teacher from Birmingham. NYB results were out really quickly last year - within a couple of days but my dd did do the last audition last year in London so not sure if they wait till all the auditions are done and then send out the replies. Will just have to keep an eye out for the postie.

Hi Tutu Cute - good luck to your sis. Is she a mid associate already? Were there any girls at the audition in the mid associates leotard? Seems there are quite a few going for Year 8 places and I'm not even sure there are any. Thanks

Hi - my DD auditioned before Xmas for a Year 8 place as she didn't audition last year and thankfully it was a yes for her too. Just did the NYB audition at Elmhurst today and one of the panelists from the Elmhurst audition was adjudicating so that was a good opportunity to be seen again. Looking forward to the final on 06.03.12 See you all there.

I heard from a friend of a friend that in a couple of the Manchester auditions for year 7 and 8 one of the panel went over to just one girl in each audition and asked if they could lift their right leg to the front and to the side. My DD said her friend had told her they did this to someone at summer school and then offered the person concerned a place at White Lodge. Has anyone else heard of them doing this? Thanks

Hi - good luck to all your DDs auditioning for year 8. My DD did too and is an associate. Couldn't go to the auditions myself. Does anyone know if they mentioned if any places are available for year 8 to start in September 2012? Thanks
